Thank you for that. Which makes me want to take you up on your request for help to focus on all the fantastic women in the industry. It is not sufficient to look at the list of speakers and panels at conferences and expos. They don´t have gender balance - not at all. But if you look around, ask around, also outside US, you´ll find a huge potential for articles, that will give a very much broader picture of podcasting and blogging. I am reading your magazine these days, I like it, as a journalist, a blogger and a podcaster, and I would never hesitate to leave it on my coffeetable if I had the print issue :-) But I´ll be looking forward to reading coming issues with more women, more feature articles, more Europeans, more oblique angles, etc. Cause it is a vital and colourful business. Thank God for that. She created it. ;-) Larry, I am so glad to read your post, and I must say you and your editors have taken my (our) criticism very seriously. Thank you for that.

We've already started to proactively reach out to women, so we can be more representative of the community. That being said I would still love to get the names of others that we should be talking to. In my opinion, having heard you speak at the podcast expo, you should be at the top of the list. I just hope everyone can understand that launching a new magazine is never an easy task. Doing it in only 4 months and publishing in 3 formats makes it even more challenging. To be blunt we were rushing around like crazy just to get content written & edited, that we didn't stop for a second to consider gender (or racial for that matter) balance. We will in the future.

Now I will admit that I was surprised by the language used here. I know that's not Leesa. She was just fired up by the magazine's lack of research and inclusion. I trust that the editors will do a better job next time. I would hate for Leesa to have to go off again. :-) Obviously they didn’t do enough research before they published this magazine.
