Marie Claire launches “Nice Talk” podcast with Nikki Ogunnaike
And we’re live in 5, 4, 3, 2…or at least, Marie Claire is! The magazine has just announced the launch of its new podcast “Nice Talk” with editor-in-chief Nikki Ogunnaike, sponsored by eBay. The new series will feature free-spirited, open discussions with women leaders across entertainment, business, sports, and the arts, discussing their career rises, personal style, and more. As for the initial guest lineup? Paige DeSorbo, Bailey Bass, and Tefi Pessoa are the first guests you’ll hear when the series launches on May 30 on Apple Podcasts and all podcasting platforms.
“‘Well-behaved’ women have long been discouraged from speaking on subjects considered not ‘proper’ or ‘ladylike,'” said Ogunnaike. “At Marie Claire, we’re not shying away from having real conversations about the important, often emotionally-filled topics that impact so many aspects of our lives. With Nice Talk, we’re opening up a group chat that embraces diverse perspectives around the issues that matter most to women, and where all parties walk away feeling empowered.”
