About
The Broad Experience is brought to you by Ashley Milne-Tyte. I’m a British-born writer and public radio reporter based in and around New York.
I started the show in 2012 because after years in the workplace I had finally realized things worked a little differently there if you were female. I wanted to explore the various experiences women had, but I didn’t want the show to be depressing. I set out to make something that was real yet hopeful, that would give people ideas they could use in their own lives.
We all define success differently, and having a sane, balanced existence is important to most of us. Still many women are ambitious, yet we don't quite reach our full potential. There are plenty of reasons why (and they don’t all involve kids).
I wanted to bring some nuance to this topic and look at the invisible currents that run beneath women’s lives.
Eight years after starting the podcast, women and the workplace has become an international topic of conversation. What differentiates my show from everything else is its focus on women of different ages from all sorts of different backgrounds, who can speak to the theme of each show.
As a lifelong curious person and professional journalist since 2003, I also pride myself on my interviewing skills and my audio and production capabilities.

About the name: Non-Americans may not know that 'broad' is decades-old slang for 'woman' in US English. I wanted the name to be fun and distinctive. We discuss important topics here, but I don't take myself too seriously.
