Thank you for creating this educational and engaging podcast. Since I started listening to Listening to Ladies, I have learned so much about the music of composers I did not know much about.

Great podcast about new classical music and women composers. Breathtakingly beautiful music and entertaining presentation. Listen to this!
I’ve been meaning to start listening to this fabulous podcast series for at least a year, and just listened to the first 2 episodes this afternoon - the interviews are excellent - personable, friendly, articulate and passionate women talking about their art, interspersed with fantastic, diverse music. What more could one want?! Thank you, LtL <3
