Episode 1

What is it like to be a woman in defence?

As a woman defence journalist I get asked that question all the time. How does it feel like to often be the only woman in the room? Have you been victim of prejudice, or harassment? Do you feel people treat you differently? 9 years into this field, I decided to take all these questions and turn them into a new focus for the podcast: women in defence. To debunk myths, talk about important issues, raise other ones, and also give a voice to the men and women who support gender equality. In this first episode of the new focus, we set the scene with my friend and colleague, Yannick Smaldore - editor in chief of DefTech.
