SiriusXM has announced the upcoming launch of the Women’s Empowerment Network, a new podcast platform executive produced by Karen Hunter, host of SiriusXM Urban View and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
The network will premiere on Monday, December 9. At its inception, it will introduce two new podcasts, with additional original content expected to roll out in the following months.
The Women’s Empowerment Network is set to launch a diverse lineup of original shows available on the SiriusXM app and all major podcast platforms. These programs will feature interviews with prominent women from various sectors, providing insights into self-improvement, financial strategies, and mental health discussions.
In addition, the network will cover pertinent news affecting women’s lives and careers while highlighting stories of resilience, activism, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. The initiative aims to uplift and inspire women across all walks of life.
Among the initial podcasts to launch under the network is “Karen Hunter Is Awesome!” a daily show where Hunter explores various thought-provoking subjects. Positioned to complement her regular Urban View radio program, Hunter engages her audience through in-depth discussions on topics ranging from Bible prophecy to the significance of race and current television shows and films.
Also launching on December 9, “Financially Speaking,” a new daily podcast aimed at empowering women to navigate today’s complex financial landscape. The show features a diverse lineup of financial experts, including Dr. Tonya Evans, specializing in cryptocurrency and intellectual property; Dr. Tisa Silver Canady, an authority on financial wellness and student loan debt reduction; Jacquette Timmons, a financial behaviorist; and Ruchi Pinniger, a financial coach and founder of Watch Her Prosper. Listeners can expect practical advice and insights to help them make informed financial choices and cultivate lasting wealth.
“The Women’s Empowerment Network is a destination where women can come together and be heard in ways that are authentic, uplifting, and transformative,” said Karen Hunter. “I’ve always believed in the power of women supporting each other, and I’m excited to have this new platform where we can rise together.”
“Karen has a great talent for identifying emerging voices and building communities through audio,” said Dave Gorab, Vice President and General Manager of SiriusXM’s Talk Programming. “I’m excited to see Karen’s vision for a new podcast network thrive while it has a meaningful impact on all who listen.”
In addition to her new podcast, Hunter will continue to host “The Karen Hunter Show” weekdays from 3-6 pm (ET) on Urban View channel 126.
