On the Media’s “How Radio Makes Female Voices Sound Shrill” is one of the best podcasts I’ve heard recently.

And, it commented on the connection between a voice and perceptions of competency. I always know a podcast is good when I have to stop in the middle and then I return. I went back to finish “How Radio Makes Female Voices Sound Shrill.” So yes, though not explicit, of course there is an economic connection.
