Podcasts + Publishing – a conversation with Stacey Gualandi and Beth Campbell (Tue, May 12, 2026)

Tue, 12 May 2026 18:45:00 GMT

Join Stacey Gualandi, renowned Journalist and host of The Women’s Eye Podcast and Beth Campbell, Author, as they share stories from their world’s of publishing books and Podcast curation.

Stacey Gualandi is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, radio host, television producer and emcee. She has come a long way since her first big scoop right out of Miami University’s journalism program: picking up horse manure as a set P.A. for the movie Eight Men Out. Not quite the journalistic scoop she was looking for, but it did lead to another “inside” job as Molly Ringwald’s stand-in on the film Fresh Horses - and a long career in Hollywood.

Stacey is based in Las Vegas and continues to work as a producer, voice actor and host. She is a reporter/producer for several entertainment newsmagazines, including Entertainment Tonight, EXTRA, and Inside Edition; a host for “The Women’s Eye Radio Show” podcast; producer for such documentary series as MTV’s Behind the Music; and a contributor to Deluxe Version, Chic Compass, and The Town Summerlin digital magazines.

Stacey spent a decade as a Senior Correspondent for the nationally syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition where she tackled national, breaking and entertainment news. She also earned an Emmy as a General Assignment Reporter for Channel 13 Action News in Las Vegas (ABC).

The Women’s Chamber of Nevada inducted Stacey into the Hall of Fame for Media; Stacey also received the Silver State Award for Best Journalist in 2020 & 2024.

One of the many benefits of being a part of IWF is the opportunity to expand our networks and perspective beyond our local communities. We have so many amazing women around the country and the world. It is that spirit, we are excited to invite you to our IWF Forum to Forum Cocktail Café!

For this great event, we are bringing together four Forums, including Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas (Houston). We look forward to this opportunity to connect the members from our respective Forums. We invite you to bring a cocktail, glass of wine, tea, coffee, or favorite beverage and be ready for a fun conversation! We will begin as one BIG group so we can do short introductions from these four IWF Forums – all you need to do is sign up!

The purpose of the Café is to connect our members and use this opportunity to meet and engage in a meaningful discussion with other IWF Forums. We will be in 6 to 8-person breakout groups, after the short introductions, that will allow everyone to participate and engage in a robust conversation.

Zoom meeting details will be sent on September 2, 2026. We look forward to your participation!
