ICYMI: Looking Back and Looking Ahead
4 months of #AudioForAction Live! Also, learn about Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month.
Welcome to Sounds Like Impact!
On Monday, I interviewed Radio Workshop’s Dhashen Moodley and Clémence Petit-Perrot about the impact campaign they created for the podcast episode “Just Enough Light.” I will publish that recording next week.
On that note, I can’t believe June is almost here! We are finished with this month’s Substack Lives, but they will return in June. The following are currently scheduled:
Thursday, June 9th, 1-1:45 pm EST / 10-10:45 am PST Founder & CEO / Host Saadia Khan on building Immigrantly Media.
Thursday, June 16, 10-11 am EST / 3-4 pm GMT+1 Andy Smith, Artistic Director of Made by Mortals (creator of Armchair Adventures) and Vic Elizabeth Turnbull, Marketing Consultant for Armchair Adventures & Founder, MIC media on creativity in kids podcasting.
We hope you will join these conversations. As always, please submit questions you have for the guests.
Read on to look back on some of the conversations we have had to date (questions and comments are still welcome!) and to learn about Cystic Fibrosis from the podcast CForYourself.
🖥️ #AudioForAction Lives (To Date)
So far I’ve hosted 11 #AudioForAction interviews! If you missed any of them, I hope you will go back and listen.
Please note: We also had an #AudioForAction Live with Lisa Koolhoven and Kristen Hayford about the podcast Beb & Bob. Unfortunately, Substack glitched, and cut the recorded interview in half (it picks up from the second half). I will be working with Lisa and Kristen to answer some questions in a written follow-up interview to come at a later date.
📣 Spotlight
In each episode of CForYourself, host Lucy Baxter has a (virtual) cup of tea and a chat with experts and others in the cystic fibrosis community. They talk openly and honestly about a whole range of topics, from exercise and employment to parenting and mental health.
CForYourself is all about sharing honest insights into life with cystic fibrosis, the good, the bad, and everything in between.
