Mujeres en Concreto es un pódcast que indaga en las particularidades de las mujeres de este primer cuarto del siglo XXI. Mujeres concretas, herederas de las que las precedieron, conscientes de las dificultades con las que todavía deben batallar, y atentas a fortalecer la base para las que vendrán. Mujeres reales, ni diosas, ni heroínas: protagonistas. Personas de carne y hueso, complejas, reales, concretas a las que nos acercamos sin idealizaciones, prejuicios ni estereotipos. Un pódcast con vocación de abrir preguntas, de ampliar el diálogo.
