Entrepreneur + Award-Winning Media Midwife Ahri Golden is a podcast series creator, consultant, professor, artist, and has spent over 20 years as mama to her now adulting offspring. In 2002, she met her husband, Jay Golden, in the "Women Seeking Men" section on Craigslist. Of the 50 responses, she sensed from their initial correspondence that he would be the father of her children. She was spot on.
Golden is fascinated by being human and is deeply informed by stories and creative response to the world that is unfolding within and around us.
In 2004, when contemplating becoming a mother, she created SHADES OF GRAY, a public radio documentary about the many sides of the abortion debate, which won The Golden Reel Award for Best National Radio Documentary.
While pregnant, she was inspired to create BIRTH and then BORN, two public radio documentaries about birth + postpartum in the US. Both series were nationally distributed by Public Radio International. In parallel, Golden created THE BIRTH TOUR, a nationwide live story sharing event about birth.
Then, inspired by the mothering journey, she created DELVE, a 10 song autobiographical album that won Best Jazz Song from the American Songwriting Awards. Her story + music is featured in THE GODDESS PROJECT, a feature film sharing stories of inspiring women.
Golden's experimental audio projects inspired through lived experience enlist documentary, music + memoir to create a more urgent human response to the roiling changes in society.
After the 2016 election, Golden created A MOTHER'S LENS hailed as a "new genre" podcast series. When the pandemic hit, she turned her search for solace into BENDING IN 2020, a podcast series featuring portraits of wisdom in the Covid Era. Both series were nationally distributed by NPR's 51%.
Also in the midst of Covid, Golden launched an experimental podcast series, STILLPOINT, weaving stories + songs, conversations + wisdom, illuminating human resilience and transformation. This work was named Top 20 Experimental Design Podcasts of 2021 by the UK Welp Magazine.
Golden is Adjunct Media Professor at Southern Oregon University, where she teaches her course ALIVE: YOUR VOICE, THIS MOMENT, supporting students to sonically hone one courageous story from life that gives them strength in times of great change.
Since 2022, Golden embodies the role of MEDIA MIDWIFE in THE STORY WOMB, a Podcast Series Production + Mentorship Program for visionary wise women leaders READY to grow their impact.
Golden believes that this very special superpower inside the marketplace is the collaborative tending force here to repair the world, by co-creating a new one.
