    Episode 5. An interview with Lauretta Hanson
    2019/08/01
    In Episode 5, we caught up with Lauretta Hanson from the newly established Women’s WorldTour team – Trek-Segafredo. A little nervous but full of enthusiasm, the WMN Podcast had a humble and genuine conversation with this 24-year-old Australian. With a passion for travel and having discovered a sheer enjoyment for cycling aged eight, Lauretta has forged her way to the top of the sport through patience, hard work and always finding a place to call home. We spoke about how Trek-Segafredo are making important steps to improve the professionalism of women's cycling and how the team has found new ways to support its riders. Still in the early days of her career, and already the first women's Melbourne to Warrnambool winner, this wise-beyond-her-years-women has the world at her doorstep.

    Episode 6. Being a Successful Woman in a Man's World
    2019/10/22
    From the men’s pro peloton to the women’s, British-born photographer Jojo Harper has made her mark in the photography and cycling arena, two industries dominated heavily by males.

    A softly spoken, quick-witted young woman, with a great eye and an even greater heart, Jojo spoke about her experiences in the professional peloton. The differences between shooting male and female professional cyclists, and what it’s like being apart of an ever-evolving women’s cycling scene. She also tells us how truly embedding yourself within a team can allow you to create a connection with its athletes – it comes with distinct advantages, and too, can cause its own distractions.
