Women at Work on Tour: New York. In conversation with Alison Gragnano, Karla Cole and Beatriz Lozano.
Sometimes, dreams come true. Last July, we were invited to travel to New York to meet the Automatic team, our sponsors for whom we couldn’t be more thankful, at their breathtaking NoHo space in Manhattan. Moreover, we were able to record this episode with Beatriz Lozano, Alison Gragnano and Karla Cole, now available to all of you, in those HQs, in front of an audience that was a mix of old friends, women that have been part of this podcast and, of course, new friends. Our hearts were so full that it was challenging to find the words to express our gratitude to the whole production team, with a special mention to Vanessa, Maddie, and Tino. You people are the absolute best.
This extraordinary NYC episode is now available on Spotify, Pocket Casts, or Apple Podcast. Thanks for your support, WAW fans. You are loved.
