This month, the Bonnier Fish Group launches its first podcast: “Women in Fishing,” hosted by Sport Fishing executive editor Chris Woodward and sponsored by AkzoNobel Yacht Coatings.

“Women in Fishing” will feature conversations with top women anglers, executives and leaders in the fishing industry. A new video podcast will be posted every month on a special content hub devoted to women anglers: sportfishingmag.com/women-fishing. The hub will offer female-focused content about apparel, tackle and gear, women in the sport, how-to topics, fishing travel, seafood recipe and more.  

For January’s episode, the featured guests are Stephanie Vatalaro, senior vice president of marketing and communications at the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, and Sarah Harper Burke, senior manager of marketing, Shimano North America Fishing.

Woodward is a lifelong angler who has served as a Sport Fishing editor for more than 17 years. She is currently the brand’s executive editor, as well as Bonnier’s marine electronics editor.

“I’m excited to present a menu of great content — from all of our fishing and boating brands — to entice more women to try the sport of fishing and stick with it,” says Woodward. “This has been a fun team effort as everyone feels passionately about this project. Kudos to [Marlin publisher] Natasha Lloyd for connecting us with our sponsor AkzoNobel, and recognizing an idea whose time has come.”
