Episode 54–Top 10 Podcasts of 2020

The Working Woman Radio Show has officially turned one year old, and we are celebrating by bringing you the top 10 podcasts of 2020.

Over the past year, I have had such a blast interviewing guests, and I am so grateful to each of them for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their wisdom about the work they do.

I am also super grateful to the many listeners who tune in each week, and listen to the program. Without you, I would not have a show, so thank you, thank you, thank you!

As a way to celebrate the accomplishments of this past year, I thought that I would do a special episode featuring short clips of the top 10 most listened to shows of the past year.

I picked these 10 specific episodes based on the number of downloads that the network said they received.

I arranged the clips of each episode in descending order, meaning that I will start with number 10 and work my way back to the number one most listened to episode of The Working Woman Radio Show for the past year.

So here we go!
