In this episode, we have brought our colleagues who identify as women together to celebrate and reflect on International Women’s Day and what it means to be a woman in the workplace. You’ll hear about their backgrounds, how they got into the arts and eventually Ticketsolve. The panel talks candidly about the challenges they have faced in their own careers, breaking stereotypes, and what the future holds for women working not just in the arts but across every industry.

THE ARTS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN PODCAST
It's tough but rewarding working in the arts and often so busy you have little time to share with your peers and investigate new ideas. Join us as we speak to arts industry experts getting their take on the biggest issues facing the arts world today - and to those outside of the arts and culture sphere to see what else we can learn. Every few weeks, there will be ideas to try, practical tips, lots of learning and of course - lots of laughs. If you work in theatres, venues, festivals or the arts and cultural sector this podcast is what you need!
