I can't believe we've come to the finale episode of Season 1. I'm so excited about what we've accomplished since launching this podcast in June—and that includes YOU listening, watching and reading this. We will definitely keep things going in 2019, but we have the perfect way to wrap things up in 2018. Our guest this week is Cam, a woman who has been at the top of my guest list since starting the show. Cam has been a huge inspiration to me, and a wonderful friend and supporter of the show. You'll hear more specifics when you listen to this episode. It is a great one! Cam did not hold back, which is one of the reasons I love her. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the best experience during Season 1 of Women Want to Hear Women.

"Women Want to Hear Women With Elaina" Season 1 Review Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

I can't believe Season 1 of Women Want to Hear Women is winding down. Since launching in June, we have completed 23 amazing episodes featuring some of the genre's biggest names, rising stars and up-and-comers. Before we close Season 1 next week with a sit-down interview with Cam—I'm so excited—I thought it would be fun to reflect on some of this season's episodes, so I brought in my partner in crime, Jim Casey, editor in chief of Nash Country Daily, who helped me launch the podcast six months ago. I can't even begin to thank all of my guests and the people behind the scenes who have made this podcast become a reality. But I will try. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you've missed an episode or you're a new listener, check out the links below to every episode from Season 1, from Kacey Musgraves and Carrie Underwood to Maren Morris and Danielle Bradbery . . . and everyone in between. Be sure to tune in next week for Cam before we launch Season 2 in January, with a new lineup of guests you won't believe.

"Women Want to Hear Women With Elaina" Featuring Danielle Bradbery Dec 05, 2018

Show notes

Danielle Bradbery has been in the public eye since winning The Voice as a 16-year-old in 2013. But winning a reality talent competition doesn't immediately translate to superstardom. Like most reality show winners, Danielle has had to work tirelessly to prove herself—and find herself as an artist. In our sit-down interview this week, Danielle talks about her time on The Voice, growing up in the public eye, finding her confidence, releasing her recent album, I Don't Believe We've Met, and so much more—including her thoughts on how to get more women on country radio. Plus, Danielle covers Carrie Underwood's "So Small" and performs her recent single, "Worth It." Hope you enjoy! Podcast Participants: Danielle Bradbery Elaina Smith, host of WWTHW Videos: Danielle "Plays It Forward" by covering Carrie Underwood's "So Small." Danielle performs her recent single, "Worth It."

Show notes

Leah Turner has had such an interesting career since moving from California to Nashville in 2012. She is a true example of how finicky the country music industry can be—but her hard work and talent have not gone unnoticed. While Leah has had many challenges, she's also had many victories, including releasing her self-titled EP and charting two singles. Leah is one of the hardest working women in Nashville, and I'm thrilled we were able to sit down and chat. You'll also find out how Leah originally sparked my first idea for this podcast. Enjoy! Podcast Participants: Leah Turner Elaina Smith, host of WWTHW Oh! Here are the details for Leah's upcoming show in Nashville, which I will be hosting.
