Some nice words from previous workshop attendees

Vic just made it seem so do-able! Vic has caused me one problem though, I now have no excuse not to get started! Vic’s course is essential in giving people a push in the right direction and the basic knowledge required to give it a go! Highly recommended. workshop attendee

I really enjoyed the podcasting workshop! The session really helped me come up with ideas as well as learning about the practicalities. I went from thinking it was irrelevant to having a list of 11 podcasts we could start off with! workshop attendee

I loved how you went through every step and I am also quite “overly organised” so you really spoke my language. I loved that you asked questions before the webinar, answering our questions and meeting our needs- very attentive! workshop attendee

Great engaging content and insights through anecdotes. I’ve found webinars can drag but this has been insightful, engaging, well structured and with an informing yet informal voice. It flew by and I’ve got tons of notes and ideas to work on. workshop attendee

This was so useful, thank-you. I feel like it was just the beginning and it’s set me off on a great path just knowing where to start. I feel I have the confidence now to get started rather than just wondering about it but not moving into action. workshop attendee

5 reasons to amplify your social mission with podcasts

March 8, 2024March 8, 2024

So you’re a social impact business making waves for good. You’re passionate, dedicated, and changing the world, one project at a time. But have you considered the power of podcasting to amplify your social mission?

Podcasts are audio shows that listeners can follow and listen to on-the-go. They’re a fantastic way to connect with a dedicated audience, spread awareness about your cause, and inspire action.

But maybe you’re on the fence.

Well, we’re here to get you off it!

Here’s 5 reasons why you might choose podcasts to amplify your social mission.

1. A closer look, big impact

Unlike a quick social media post, podcasts allow you to explore deeper into the issues you care about. Think in-depth conversations with experts in your field, inspiring stories from changemakers, and practical advice for listeners to get involved. Powerful, right?

Real-life example: Here’s how Children’s University used their podcast to explore issues around education and social mobility – something they know a thing or two about!

2. Find your tribe

Sometimes our blogs and even social media posts feel like we’re shouting into the voice. Podcasts, however, let you target a specific audience who shares your passion, would be interested in your content, but most importantly, get value from it. This means your message resonates with the people who matter most. Who knows? This could be the start of a loyal community of podcast fans who love you and your cause.

Real-life example: Here’s how Flourish Together CIC grew their network of female social entrepreneurs beyond their live events, through their podcast.

3. Content is King (and Queen)

The beauty of podcasts? You’re in control of the narrative! You’re the boss. It’s your podcast! This means you can get as creative as you like, you can test, and experiment and this is the vital bit… have fun. Consider sharing your expertise, hosting conversations, and most of all, create content that educates, uplifts, and motivates your listeners.

Real-life example: Here’s how Made By Mortals created a hit kids podcast by experimenting with music, theatre and performance.

4. Budget-Friendly

Starting a podcast doesn’t have to cost a bomb. This will be music to your ears, especially in a time where the cost of living crisis perpetuates and cuts are a plenty. With a little creativity and free editing tools, you can create high-quality audio that gets your message across.

Real-life example: Here’s how Yellow Jigsaw started their podcast with a group of amazing over 50’s community reporters.

5. Long-Term Play

Your podcast can be evergreen content. Meaning that it stays relevant even if you listen to it a month or even a year after it’s first released.

Additionally, once you create an episode, it can find new listeners for years to come – because it will always be online (unless you delete it of course!) Imagine your message continuing to inspire change long after you hit publish – that’s the magic of podcasting! Not to mention the added value of having your content available to hear all the time.

Real-life example: Here’s how GM Moving used podcasts to share the messages and ethos of their Right To The Streets campaign for safer streets for women and girls.

Even small, impactful podcasts can make a big difference.

So, what are you waiting for?
