Stop Talking: The Podcast is a weekly show hosted by Sarah Thamer and Sophie Hoover, two women who ended up in opposite media careers (one TV reporter and one creative video editor). Each week they discuss the barriers that women face in journalism, media professions and other high-visibility work environments and teach each other new skills and strategies for supporting themselves and the women around them. Mental health, interview tips, empowering guest stories...nothing is off the table.
