WESTWOOD ONE PODCAST NETWORK is debuting a new podcast focused on the female candidates running in the 2018 elections. "RUN LIKE A GIRL" is hosted by TRACY FRAIM and co-produced by CULT FAVORITE MEDIA, and will debut AUGUST 23rd; the show will look at candidates in races across the country, with an inside focus on GRETCHEN WHITMER's campaign for Governor in MICHIGAN.
“The time is now for these exceptional women,” said WESTWOOD ONE President/CUMULUS MEDIA EVP, Marketing SUZANNE GRIMES. “They’re courageous and tenacious, and we are proud to shine our spotlight on their personal stories and support them with a massive radio, social, and influencer marketing campaign.”
“Women represent a paltry 20% of the seats in Congress,” said co-creator/Executive Producer DONNA FAZZARI. “To change that equation once and for all, we need to normalize what it’s like for a woman to run and in turn, lead this country. The intimate medium of podcasting is an ideal environment to experience the triumphs and challenges of these candidates as they push through political boundaries.” FAZZARI co-created and co-Executive Produced the show with veteran radio producer CORNY KOEHL. JULIE BOWEN, co-star of "MODERN FAMILY," is serving as "celebrity announcer" for the show, with music by TOMMY COSTER.
