Theresa Loconsolo is an audio producer at TechCrunch. As the network’s co-host of their flagship podcast, Equity, she has become a key figure in advancing conversations about equity in the tech industry. Originally from New Jersey, Loconsolo has an extensive background in Communication, earning her bachelor’s degree from Monmouth University. Her knowledge serves to make clear crucial dialogues about tech, and what it means for the world.
Equity, the podcast she co-produces, is available on all podcast apps, including YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Spotify. This accessibility invites a wide-ranging audience to engage deeply with the show’s subject matter. It showcases the high stakes, thrilling collision between finance and technology. The podcast not only provides insights into current trends but fosters dialogue about equity and inclusivity within the tech landscape.
Loconsolo’s work is especially important given the recent developments in the AI space. A recent TechCrunch article highlighted the “restructuring” occurring within AI companies, emphasizing the need for discussions that reflect diverse perspectives and equitable practices. This context makes platforms like Equity—even when directed at a general audience—so crucial, because they help unpack these issues directly.
Loconsolo’s work in this initiative through her position at TechCrunch is intended to make sure those conversations translate into compelling, accessible content that gets in front of millions. The Equity podcast’s YouTube channel further enhances this mission by offering visual content that complements the audio discussions, making important topics more engaging and accessible.
Beyond her production duties, Loconsolo is dedicated to building a community around these important discussions. She really gets listeners to submit their ideas and their feedback. This shows her commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for discussion. Anyone looking to get in touch with her can reach her at theresa.loconsolo@techcrunch.com.
