Lemonada Media Debuts Sinéad Burke's 'As Me With Sinéad' Podcast

Debuts Today

LEMONADA MEDIA's second weekly podcast via WESTWOOD ONE is "AS ME WITH SINÉAD," an interview podcast with activist SINÉAD BURKE. The first two episodes, interviews with VICTORIA BECKHAM and TIG NOTARO, were posted TODAY (10/24).

“I live in a world that was not designed for me. I live in a body that provokes a reaction and one which has required the kindness of strangers for my independence. My advocacy is rooted in the notion that the disabled community should not be transformed to fit within the world,” said BURKE. “This lived experience has cultivated an unparalleled empathy, one that allows this podcast to be a space for intimate conversations with people we know about what it is like to live as them.  My podcast will tilt the lens on how we view the world and make it an easier place for all of us to fully be ourselves.”
 
“When we set out to create LEMONADA, we knew we wanted a series on our first slate that demonstrated what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes,” said LEMONADA CEO JESSICA CORDOVA KRAMER.

LEMONADA Chief Creative Officer STEPHANIE WITTLES WACHS added, “SINÉAD was the perfect host. She sits across from some of the most iconic humans and all of a sudden, they are talking about their biggest fears, their hopes and dreams, telling stories we’ve never heard before, and laughing and crying with her.”

“SINÉAD is globally known and respected by millions of people for her ability to open our eyes and shine a light on humanity,” said WESTWOOD ONE President SUZANNE GRIMES. “An audio extension of her message could not come at a better time. We are proud to support SINÉAD’s podcast and quest to build collective empathy along the way.”
