Quick Updates from Sounds Like Impact
Recent #AudioForAction Live, Subscriptions/Donations Update, Upcoming convos.
Hi!
I cannot believe it’s the end of March. Before we head into April, I wanted to share a couple of updates.
#AudioForAction Live Tech Issue: Unfortunately, today I was unable to publish the #AudioForAction Live with Kristen Hayford and Lisa Koolhoven, the creators of Beb & Bob | Collateral Damage. In what was a first since I’ve done Substack Lives, the recording was corrupted and is missing the first portion of our interview. I sent a notice to Substack, and hopefully, there will be a resolution soon that involves fully restoring the interview.
Today, March 31st, is the anniversary of the Allied bombing of Rotterdam, the event discussed in the podcast. Please check out the podcast and learn more about the event on the Beb & Bob website. And if you have a NYT subscription, you can read about the 1993 commemoration, here.

Subscriptions/Donations Going Forward: Today, I will be ending subscriptions for Sounds Like Impact. This was always a free, or reader-supported, newsletter but I’ve made the difficult decision to turn off the option to subscribe. The costs of managing the newsletter exceed any revenue brought in from subscriptions or donations. In an effort to reduce the costs to myself, I’ve decided the best ways to support are to:
Share this newsletter! Let’s grow this community.
Hire me for speaking engagements focused on social impact podcasting, or narrative change.
Invite me as a guest on your show or newsletter.
Sponsor this newsletter.
Hire me for content strategy, event programming, impact strategy, and program operations.
Reach out to soundslikeimpact@unofficialsocialchair.com to get in touch about sponsorships, invitations, and speaking gigs. Visit my website to learn more about freelancing / consulting.
Coming Up: While I haven’t scheduled the next #AudioForAction Lives, things are in the works! You can expect some conversations around using podcasting as a science communication tool and creating climate / environmental podcasts. I won’t be as active in April due to my role with the ReelAbilities Film Festival, happening in New York April 23-30. Maybe I’ll see some of you there!
Thank you as always for supporting this newsletter, and thank you to everyone who has donated over the years. Next month will be the 4th year of this newsletter. I want it to continue to grow and evolve, so please support this journey however you can.
Sincerely,
Ayo
