About Inflection Point: How women rise up.
On Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller you’ll hear incredible stories from activists, entrepreneurs, and authority-busters about how they build power and lead change for an equal, just, and joy-filled world. You’ll come away from every conversation with context, hope and inspiration. Plus, you’ll get expert advice and the tools you need to take action on the issues that matter to you–at home, at work and in the world.
This award-winning podcast and nationally syndicated public radio show is produced in collaboration with KALW and PRX and supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The Harnisch Foundation, generous individual donations, and sponsors.
Inflection Point is one of the only nationally syndicated radio shows and one of the first podcasts ever dedicated exclusively to featuring conversations with women about how we build power, what we do with it when we have it, and what still stands in our way. We launched in March, 2015 on KALW in celebration of Women's History Month and episodes through 2023 are available here and at the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.
