Pull Up a Chair: The Hood Podcast is Here
You asked for more. More depth, more honesty, more time with the women you actually want to hear from. This spring, Hood launches its podcast, eight episodes of real conversation, filmed in the elegant surroundings of Number One at The Balmoral.
Hood has always been about connection. On the page, online, in your inbox, and in the rooms we gather in for our events. Over time, readers told us they wanted more time with the women we feature. The full stories, the insight, the laughs and lessons that never quite fit on paper.
This is The Hood Podcast
THe Hosts
Hosted by journalists Nicola Campbell and Rosie Morton, the series creates space for thoughtful, honest conversation. Warm, curious and editorial, guests talk about how they really live, work and thrive, reinventions included. Each episode centres on one woman and her take on the things that shape our days. Confidence. Style. Ambition. Health. Creativity. Change. Rooted in Scotland, universal in heart.
