The podcast we need AND want
Negative reviews for this podcast will come in primarily because a) there’s a seemingly similar and well established podcast (Startup) out there, and b) this one is run by two unapologetic women. But if Startup broke new ground on the idea of documenting starting a podcasting business, ZigZag blows the idea wide open and asks whether they can do not only that, but also tackle some much bigger questions: Is it feasible to turn a profit while trying to effect social change? What is the role of cutting-edge blockchain technology in this? Can journalism be saved and have they stumbled upon the solution? Is there an ethical capitalism? What are the unique pressures on women when balancing sacrifices for work with family life? No one else is out there doing this vital work, and it’s an insult to the nuanced, complex ideas Manoush and Jen are exploring to suggest otherwise. Not only that, but the production value is absolutely top-notch, among the finest I’ve heard as a person who has voraciously consumed podcasts since 2010. I rarely give out five stars because rarely do good, thought provoking podcasts come out immaculately polished and purely enjoyable to boot, but I’d give this one six stars if I could. You ladies are changing the world and I hope you can hold on to that even in the many dark hours that lie ahead. I’m rooting for you with all my heart.

More reviews of ZigZag
As a woman in her 20s who has always thought about the cost/benefit of starting your own company, I absolutely love Zigzag! I’ve recommended it to many friends and feel emotionally connected to the founders. Thanks for making such an awesome podcast!

Radiotopia does it again! I look forward to each new episode of this pod listening to J and M navigate the zigs and zags of launching a new company and exploring the particular challenges women entrepreneurs face. I just hope I figure out what this block chain thing is someday!
