Episode Synopsis


Today host Ali Muldrow is joined by two guests with powerful voices in Madison: Myra McNair and Bianca Martin. In a world that wants women to be silent, or silent about certain topics, these three podcast hosts talk candidly about their careers, their triumphs, and how to make someone feel comfortable in a conversation. 
All describe being chastised for being “chatterboxes” in school, but they’ve turned that gift of gab into professional careers. And people tune into their shows because these hosts know how to draw out their guests with tenderness while also asking pointed questions. 
In their meta conversation about what makes a good interview, Muldrow, McNair, and Martin also shout out the teams that make their work possible, describe the curiosity and imagination they bring to their work, and discuss how they hold space for vulnerability. 

Myra McNair is the founder, owner, and visionary behind Anesis Therapy and host of the podcast Making Progress.
Bianca Martin is the host of the City Cast Madison podcast.
