By Carmen Elena Mitchell, Larj Media Marketing Director

Larj Network is proud to share the news that our podcast, Battle Fatigue has been short-listed in three categories at the International Women’s Podcast Awards presented by The Skylark Collective.

Hosted by historian and voting rights activist, AJ Musewe and her best friend, spoken word poet, musician, actor and photographer, Dalin Costello, Battle Fatigue covers topics ranging from the “fake slave insurrection of 1835” to the battle for reproduction rights to Black joy and friendship. From intersectionality to mental health and self-care, AJ and Dalin dive deep into the topics of the day, while periodically coming up for air to nerd-out Black pop culture, Beyoncé and their favorite Marvel movies.

Aj Musewe and Dalin Costello record an episode of the Battle Fatigue podcast at Larj Media podcast studio in Seattle.

 Battle Fatigue is short-listed in the categories of “Moment of Dramatic Tension,” “Moment of Comedy Gold” and “Moment of Raw Emotion.” This is the fourth podcast award nomination for Battle Fatigue, which was nominated by the Black Podcasting Awards for Best Blerd Podcast in 2022, and Best History Podcast in 2021 and 2022.

 “Less than a third of the most successful podcasts worldwide are hosted by women, and the number run by women of colour is shockingly small.” – The Skylark Collective

The Skylark Collective is dedicated to championing the work of women and non-binary podcasters around the globe and has been leading the charge to shape the future of podcasting as a more accessible form of media for underrepresented voices.

 The event will be held at the Conduit in London on September 29th and live streamed globally.

 Take a listen to the clips below to get a taste for the fun, the brilliance and the hard truth-telling that is Battle Fatigue. Full episodes available wherever you get your podcast.
