Episode 75: The Ladies Who Podcast

November 07, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in Diversity, entertainment, entrepreneur, Film & TV, hollywood, women

This week I did something completely different and was a guest on someone else’s podcast! “The Ladies Who” podcast is a show out of New Orleans hosted by three lovely ladies, Christa, Beth and Bishop – who also, it should be noted, work in Entertainment.  They invited me into their Red Tent for a chat.

We talked about the origins of The Other 50% and what is going on in the zeitgeist about women.  They also heard the call early last year and knew that it was the time for the ladies to start talking!

We talked about the #metoo of it all, and raising kids, and the themes that have come up during the run of The Other 50% - a Herstory of Hollywood.

And game shows. As you do.

This was really fun, they are great, and I think you will enjoy the conversation.

You can find them here: The Ladies Who.  Add them to your podcast subscription list.

Episode 34: Kirsten Schaffer, Executive Director WIF

February 28, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood

Kirsten is the Executive Director of Women in Film, Los Angeles. Prior to WIF, she was the Executive Director of Outfest, the LGBT film festival and media arts organization. She tells us about her history as a student at Evergreen, working at film festivals in Seattle and Olympia, and juggling her life as a mother and wife in this busy city and this business.

Kirsten walks us through the work of Women in Film, as well as the initiative called Reframe - in conjunction with the Sundance Institute, aimed at improving gender parity in entertainment.  If you have been curious as to where all the gender chatter is culminating in action – this is it.
