Women in Podcasting Craft New Connections at Spotify’s Galentine’s Day Celebration in LA
This Wednesday in Los Angeles, Spotify brought together a group of podcast creators for a Galentine’s Day gathering at the charm-crafting boutique Charmed LA. In an industry that’s often digital-first, the event was a chance to prioritize real-world connection and celebrate friendship.
Over coffee and light brunch bites, guests connected and shared stories, including Cherie Brooke Luo and Jean Luo of Tiger Sisters, Liz Plank of Boy Problems, Sabrina Zohar of The Sabrina Zohar Show, and Ashley Nichole and Taryne Renee of Unsolicited Advice with Ashley and Taryne.
The centerpiece of the event was a custom jewelry-making experience where attendees crafted their own unique pieces, choosing from an array of charms like tiny microphones and headphones. A Polaroid photographer was on site to capture candid moments throughout the morning.
The gathering was an example of Spotify’s creator-first approach, demonstrated through both high-touch community events and larger industry investments like the new Spotify Sycamore Studios in West Hollywood.
Our commitment to creators is set against an exciting backdrop for the industry. Podcasting recently earned its first-ever recognition at the Golden Globes, where Good Hang with Amy Poehler, from Spotify’s The Ringer, won the inaugural award. As the medium’s influence grows, Spotify is proud to support and celebrate different voices at the center of it all.
