Established podcasts for women entrepreneurs that have released new episodes since September 2026 include Bossbabe, Female Founder World, Hello Seven, Ladies Who Launch, Second Life, Side Hustle Pro, The Kara Goldin Show, and WorkParty. All eight have at least one woman host and cover how women start and grow businesses. Hearing nothing back after pitching a women in business podcast can be discouraging, and a little listening first can give your next pitch something specific to say.
Why Podcasts for Women Entrepreneurs Are Worth Your Time
The Infinite Dial 2026, released in March 2026 by Edison Research at SSRS, found that 58% of Americans age 12 and older had consumed a podcast in the last month, an all-time high for the study, and 45% had done so in the last week.
Guest lists on popular shows are less balanced, according to the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which studied the top 100 podcasts of 2024 and published its findings in November 2025. Women made up 27.2% of guests, and 62.6% of the more than 4,000 episodes reviewed had no woman guest. On podcasts with at least one woman host, women made up 45.3% of guests, compared with 17.9% on podcasts with no woman host, which is why every show below has a woman host.
Eight Shows to Know: Who Hosts Each One and What It Covers
We confirmed each show below on its Apple Podcasts listing or official page on October 3, 2026, and every one had released a new episode within the previous 10 days. They appear in alphabetical order, and schedules can change, so check current details on each show’s official page. We left out Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger, which has more than 960 episodes, because its most recent Apple Podcasts episode was dated December 31, 2025.
Natalie Ellis hosts the Bossbabe Podcast, which has been publishing since 2019, and its show description says it helps ambitious women build a profitable business and a lifestyle they love. Recent episodes cover burnout and work-life balance for high-achieving women, and a September 29, 2026, episode with author Ryan Levesque covers marketing an online business.
Female Founder World is hosted by Jasmine Garnsworthy, has been publishing since 2021, and focuses on how female entrepreneurs can start and scale a business.
Rachel Rodgers hosts the Hello Seven Podcast, and its show description says it outlines the steps for diverse entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and build generational wealth. Recent episodes include a live coaching session recorded in Portugal.
Rochelle Humes hosts Ladies Who Launch, which began in 2024. Its show description says it features women who have made their mark in business, and recent guests include the founders behind Astrid & Miyu, Hello Klean, and The INKEY List.
Second Life is hosted by Hillary Kerr, a co-founder of Who What Wear, and features successful women who have made major career changes. Recent interviews include Jess Rona, founder of Jess Rona Grooming Salon, and Casey Lewis, creator of After School.
Nicaila Matthews Okome hosts Side Hustle Pro, and its About page calls it an award-winning podcast that spotlights Black women entrepreneurs who have scaled from side hustle to profitable business. The show mixes guest interviews with solo episodes, such as a September 30, 2026, episode on ways to get paid for knowledge you already have.
The Kara Goldin Show is hosted by Kara Goldin, founder of Hint and author of Undaunted, and features conversations with entrepreneurs and leaders, women and men alike. Recent guests include Danielle DuBoise, co-founder of Sakara, and Jacqueline Prehogan, co-founder of Open Farm.
WorkParty is co-hosted by Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton, CEO of Create & Cultivate, and since 2018 the show has covered entrepreneurship, motherhood, and female friendships, along with episodes on wealth and funding.
How to Listen to a Women in Business Podcast for Ideas
Pick two shows that fit your stage and treat each episode as a short piece of research. Start with one question in mind, such as how the guest found her first customers or what mindset work helped her set her prices.
When an answer fits your business, write down the idea and one thing you could do about it that week, with the show name and date, and keep it all in one file. Read the file back after a month, because patterns are easier to spot side by side. Notice the subjects a show has not covered yet, and consider them for your own pitch.
How to Pitch Yourself to a Female Founders Podcast
Pitching a host you admire can feel awkward, and some preparation makes the note easier to write. Before you pitch, play at least two recent episodes so your note can mention something specific the host discussed. Then check the show’s website for a guest form or booking instructions and follow them closely, or send a short email through its contact page if there is no form.
Shape your pitch to the show’s format. Some of the shows above center on guest interviews, some mix in solo episodes, and Hello Seven includes live coaching, so check whether a show books outside guests before you write to it.
Offer one specific topic tied to what the audience wants to learn, with a working title, two or three points, and the reason you are the right person to discuss it. Include a short bio, a headshot link, and links to past interviews, and if the show does not reply, send one polite follow-up after a week or two before you move to the next show.
Start with a women entrepreneurs podcast that has a woman host and fits your industry, region, or model, such as a show for online or home-based businesses. Given the USC Annenberg finding, those shows are a practical place to begin. Mariya’s guide on how to get on podcasts covers the full process, from building a list of shows to preparing for the interview.
