“The audio industry has a very tiring patriarchy problem, so its lovely to have a day to share the brilliant work of makers across gender identities, that can get lost in a sea of audio-dude bros with a deep aversion to listening (the irony!). I'm grateful that a space exists to have necessary conversations about craft, power, storytelling, ethics and access.”
