ALTRUWE, ORGANIZER OF PODCASTHON

Podcasthon is the world’s largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for charitable causes. Behind this growing movement are two visionary co-founders: Jérémie Mani and Yves Delnatte.
<h3 data-start="414" data-end="442">Meet the Co-Founders</h3>
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/">Jérémie Mani</a> (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/">Linkedin profile</a>) is a French entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the digital industry. Before dedicating himself entirely to Podcasthon, Jérémie built and sold two successful companies in email marketing and content moderation. After moving to Canada in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he began reflecting on how he could use his skills to make a meaningful impact. Rather than launching another business, he wanted to create something that would mobilize thousands of people for a greater cause. That’s where Podcasthon was born—a volunteer-driven initiative aimed at uniting the power of podcasting with the needs of charities.
You can hear more about Jeremie in this <a href="https://podnews.net/article/podcasthon-2025-introduction">video interview featured on PodNews.</a>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/">Yves Delnatte</a> (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/">Linkedin profile</a>) is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor with a rich background in business development. He has founded and led multiple ventures across various industries, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. Yves&#8217;s journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging business as a force for good, which naturally led him to co-found Podcasthon alongside Jérémie. His vision is to harness the intimacy and authenticity of podcasts to drive awareness for important causes, creating a global ripple effect of positive change.
<h3 data-start="1638" data-end="1660">Our Motivation</h3>
Traditional fundraising methods like charity galas, marathons, and auctions have their limits. They often require large budgets, exclusive access, or short-lived engagement. Meanwhile, charities around the world struggle to reach new audiences and create long-term connections.
<h3 data-start="2614" data-end="2647">Our Vision for the Future</h3>
Podcasthon started in 2023 with 300 French-speaking podcasters. It grew to over 400 in 2024 and is now expanding worldwide. Our dream? To see Podcasthon become a global tradition, uniting thousands of podcasters in dozens of languages each year.
We believe that &#8220;podcasting for good&#8221; should be more than a buzzword. It should be a movement. By leveraging technology, storytelling, and community engagement, we hope to inspire millions of listeners to care, to act, and to make a difference—one podcast at a time.

On one hand, there is the exceptional listening quality of podcasts. On the other, the urgent need for charitable organizations to raise awareness and connect with a broader circle of supporters.

What is Podcasthon?
Launched by French entrepreneurs <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jeremie Mani</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Yves Delnatte</a>, Podcasthon is an initiative that doesn’t require you to raise funds but rather focuses on generating awareness. The idea is simple: select a nonprofit close to your heart, create a podcast episode, and release it during the week of March 15 to 21. This initiative creates a wave of awareness for nonprofits, leveraging the strong connection between podcasters and their audiences.
&nbsp;
Why Should Podcasters Participate in Podcasthon?
As someone who has worked in the nonprofit sector, I understand the challenges of raising both funds and awareness. Podcasthon allows podcasters to use their talent for content creation to support causes without the pressure of fundraising. This is especially appealing to those of us who might not run marathons or organize telethons but have a special talent for story-telling: stories sell and stay with us for years to come.
&nbsp;
Best Practices for Your Podcasthon Episode
First, when selecting a nonprofit, consider those within your industry or ones pivotal in your personal journey. Storytelling is a powerful tool, and sharing personal experiences can deepen the connection with your audience.
When creating your episode, it&#8217;s essential to maintain consistency with your usual style. It shouldn&#8217;t feel like an advertisement but rather an authentic addition to your content library. Consider featuring interviews with nonprofit founders, team members, or beneficiaries to bring more dimensions to the story.
&nbsp;
Formats and Flexibility
Podcasters taking part in Podcasthon have flexibility when choosing their episode format:
* Solo episodes provide an opportunity to open up about a more personal side of you that listeners may have never known about,
* Interviews can enhance your network connections, provide future collaboration opportunities, and highlight founders, employees, volunteers or even beneficiaries,
* Episodes with a special segment allow you to get creative in how you bring the cause into the topic (think talking about Women in Tech and highlighting a nonprofit that creates opportunities for women in STEM)
* Bonus episodes allow you to take part in Podcasthon without disrupting your regular content schedule
* Repackage an old episode with new data, intro or information (least ideal but an option if you’ve run out of time)
Remember, the goal is not only to inform but to inspire action—whether it’s visiting a website or volunteering.
&nbsp;
Promote and Plan Ahead
The months leading up to March allow you to engage your audience in your planning process. Encourage them to suggest nonprofits and share personal stories to foster a more involved community. Remember, March is a prime time for discovering new podcasts, so participating in Podcasthon not only supports a good cause but also enhances your visibility.
Podcasthon provides a unique opportunity to bring positive change while expanding your reach. With the first two editions in French and this being the inaugural English venture, the initiative continues to grow, engaging over 1700 podcasters. To participate, visit <a href="https://www.podcasthon.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">podcasthon.org</a>, register, select your nonprofit, and prepare your episode for release.
&nbsp;
Leverage the power of your podcast to do good and potentially become part of someone&#8217;s everyday listening. Join the ranks of enthusiastic podcasters in this global initiative—it&#8217;s a step towards positive change that you won&#8217;t regret.

Change a Child’s Story - Podcasthon 2025

This isn’t your typical true crime story.
Brittani Ard steps into the shadowy labyrinth of memories, scars, and fragile ties that bind us to our past. Where wounds still ache and the bonds of connection blur between salvation and entrapment. After revealing her own story in the first 8 chapters, she’s pulling at the threads of the past—threads so delicate they threaten to unravel everything.
&nbsp;
This time, it’s not just her story. It’s the stories of others whose lives intertwine with hers in ways no one could have predicted. A woman searches for a photograph of her abusive ex, but the picture holds more than just memories. A foster youth exchanges black trash bags for a voice that refuses to be silenced anymore, revealing a haunting past that demands to be heard. And a story of rekindled love, as strength and vulnerability collide to reveal what was always meant to be.
&nbsp;
You Probably Think This Story’s About You is raw, haunting, and achingly human—a tapestry of messy, beautiful lessons stitched together by the lives we touch and the stories we share. The secrets we carry no longer have power over us.

In this special Podcasthon episode, we&#8217;re joining thousands of podcasts around the world in taking the opportunity this week to support a cause or organization that we believe in. In this time of fighting fascism, Best of the Left has chosen to support Indivisible, the grassroots organizing team that&#8217;s working to resist Trumpism and pressure Democrats to do the same. Follow the link in the description of this episode to make a donation but also take a moment to find and join your local Indivisible chapter to stay engaged.

Resistance is Not Futile: Support the collective revolt against Trumpism (Special Podcasthon!)

Expertly-curated progressive politics, news and culture produced by leftist humans, not algorithms or A.I.. This is an award-winning podcast that dives deeply on a wide range of national, international and local issues facing society and governments. We draw from hundreds of sources of progressive news and commentary. Est. 2006.

If you follow the podcast on social media, you’ll have seen me talking about True Crime South Africa taking part in an international event to raise awareness for charities all over the world. From the 15th of March until 21st of March podcasters all over the world are dedicated one episode in their feed to the Podcasthon. We got to select a charity we wanted to highlight, and I picked Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust because sexual violence is a topic that is terrifyingly prevalent in so many of the cases I discuss on this podcast and we desperately need to be having more conversations about this topic. I first aired the interview you’ll hear today on the podcast in 2022. And it was such a valuable conversation about so many important topics including consent within relationships and other rarely discussed issues.
&nbsp;
The interviewee in the podcast is Ronel Koekemoer. She is an incredible human I’ve had the privilege of meeting through my work over the last six years. At the time of this interview, she worked for Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust. She has since left, but she is still hugely supportive of the organisation and Ronel is still working in the gender-based violence activism space, furthering her education in the field and working on incredible projects.

ABOUT THE PLAY
The Domino Effect, written by Dominican American Marco Antonio Rodriguez and directed by Dominican American Mino Lora, offers a moving portrayal of what it means to seek belonging in more ways than one. Premiering this April at A.R.T./New York Theatres, the play explores the triumphs, sacrifices, and resilience of immigrant and queer communities. At a time when rhetoric around immigration is divisive, and LGBTQ+ rights are being erased, this play serves as a unifying force—showcasing how these communities shape the fabric of our city and country.

In this special edition episode, I discuss a charity close to my heart&#8230;
Maternal mental health inequalities in the UK create life-or-death disparities for women before, during, and after pregnancy. The Maternal Mental Health Alliance works to ensure every mother receives appropriate support, but significant gaps remain—particularly for neurodivergent and ethnic minority women.
• One in five women experience perinatal mental health problems ranging from mild anxiety to severe postpartum psychosis
• Access to specialist services varies widely by location creating a dangerous &#8220;postcode lottery&#8221;
• Black women are four times more likely to die in childbirth than white women and face additional barriers to mental health care
• Neurodivergent mothers (ADHD/autistic) face higher risks for perinatal mental health conditions
• Traditional screening tools often miss neurodivergent mothers as they aren&#8217;t designed with their experiences in mind
• Women like Zara, Aisha, and Emma represent thousands who have been dismissed by the healthcare system
• One in four female adults with ADHD will attempt suicide at some point in their lives
• Improving services requires universal access, addressing racial disparities, and tailoring support for neurodivergent mothers
Please consider supporting the Maternal Mental Health Alliance by donating to help fight for better perinatal mental health services for all mothers.
