Jérémie Mani, co-founder of Podcasthon commented:

“This milestone [of 1,000 podcasts] is not just a number; it’s a testament to the power of collective action in the podcasting community.”

Co-founder Yves Delnatte, added:

“Each registration represents a commitment to making a difference, to leveraging the intimacy and authenticity of podcasts to drive awareness for important causes.”

Podcasthon sees podcasters choose a charity and dedicate a special episode to them, releasing them on their usual platforms between March 15 and 21 next year, before pasting the URL into their Podcasters Space on the Podcasthon website. This enables all episodes to be showcased together, while having a coordinated one-week release creates a global event, amplifying visibility for both charities and podcasters.

Any podcaster can participate, regardless of their audience size, provided they maintain quality and consistency. Of the 1,000 podcasters already registered: 35.5% are ranked in the global top 10% by ListenNotes. Platforms including Acast, Ausha, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify are supporting the initiative.

Podcasters can also choose any nonprofit, from international NGOs to local nonprofits that resonate with the podcaster or their audience. As well as focusing on their chosen nonprofit, podcasters are asked to include key phrases about Podcasthon, and to promote their episode, tagging Podcasthon on social media so they can be amplified by liking, commenting, and sharing.

Podcasters can register here, and nonprofits are also invited to register to increase their chances of being featured.
