“Women in music." "Female artists." These are longstanding labels that categorize by gender, part of a long history of inequity on the airwaves, and in the music industry at large. In fact, it is still rare to hear womxn's voices back-to-back on the radio, and female-identifying hosts and programmers are still in the minority. Wherever you look, the statistics showing gender inequity across the board in music - from festival lineups to the Grammy's - are staggering. Worse still, misogyny and sexual harassment and abuse continues to plague all facets of the music business. As we answer the urgent call to address issues of diversity and inclusivity, longtime radio personality Carmel Holt is on a mission to make sure that gender equality is a part of the conversation in the music industry.


SHEROES Radio is weekly syndicated radio show created/hosted/ and produced by Carmel Holt, inspired by her own 25-year career in radio, and a lifetime devoted to music. Each week, Carmel presents a fresh and eclectic mix of both newcomers and familiar names, combining a carefully curated playlist together with a featured in-depth conversation with a "SHERO In The Spotlight". Carmel's approach is guided by a fierce commitment to diversity and inclusivity, showcasing a range of both music and guests that span genres and generations, with an eye towards lifting up new voices, while recognizing and celebrating womxn who paved the way.
