LiSTNR AND JESS ROWE UNVEIL SPECIAL ‘SAFE SPACE’ SERIES OF EPISODES ON THE JESS ROWE BIG TALK SHOW PODCAST, TO AMPLIFY MARGINALISED FEMALE VOICES

7 August 2024

In an exciting development for her widely acclaimed podcast The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show, journalist and podcaster Jess Rowe is introducing a series of special episodes, to run throughout August, titled ‘Safe Space’.

Renowned for her ability to engage her high-profile podcast guests in deep, meaningful conversations, Rowe is expanding her platform to feature female voices and stories that are often marginalised and overlooked.

This important series of episodes will provide a safe space for Australians with unique and challenging
life experiences to share their stories and perspectives, allowing listeners to hear from those who
might otherwise go unheard.

The special episodes will spotlight Australian women bravely sharing their lived experiences,
including:

  • Coping with a schizophrenia diagnosis
  • Battling an ice addiction for 28 years
  • Overcoming racism as a young Asian Australian
  • Addressing fat and obesity stigma

Jess Rowe understands the significance of sharing personal stories stating: “Sharing our stories is how we connect and feel understood and less alone in this crazy world! With Safe Space I have the opportunity to share the microphone with people who are not often heard, but whose stories need to be shared.”

LiSTNR Original Podcasts Head of Entertainment and Culture, Sam Cavanagh, said: “With over 150 episodes and many thousands of loyal listeners, The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show is renowned for creating a safe space for celebrities to have meaningful conversations about important issues. Extending this safe space to those marginalised in the community exemplifies Jess’s commitment to fostering impactful dialogue.”

The special ‘Safe Space’ episodes are sponsored by Purina, underscoring its commitment to supporting diverse voices and encouraging meaningful discussions.

Throughout August, listeners can tune in every Wednesday to hear a new ‘Safe Space’ conversation.

The first episode is available now on LiSTNR.
