Description

Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams chats with television scholar and author Dr. Elana Levine, of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee about the role of daytime dramas in television's evolution. They focus on the impact women writers and producers had in initiating story lines that were not seen in prime time such as divorce, infidelity, prolonged sicknesses and the changing values of generations.—Cynthia Bemis Abrams

Finally, a podcast that studies, analyzes and celebrates women in TV. Thousands of comedies, variety shows and dramas have aired, yet the presence of strong women – both in front of and behind the camera - is an experience we need to understand better and embrace. With an eye to aligning the leadership lesson, time capsule observation or fascinating backstory of a show’s success or failure, my goal of Advanced TV Herstory is to connect the treasures of the past to the great potential of today’s TV and online platforms. Tomorrow’s success is rooted in understanding what has come before us. So gear up for a little sociology, economics, strategy, storytelling and fun.
