A nonprofits and charities podcast, produced well.

Charities are funded by people who need to feel close to the work. A podcast brings supporters into the room where the work happens.

Why nonprofits start a podcast

Beneficiaries, volunteers and staff each have stories that are hard to fit in an appeal. Audio gives them time and keeps their own voice.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • A day with a volunteer or field worker.
  • A beneficiary story, told with consent and care.
  • Where donations go, explained by the people who spend them.
  • Partners and experts talking about the cause.

What to settle before you record

Consent and dignity matter most. Agree how you obtain permission, what you edit for safety and how you present people so that they are heard rather than used.

  • Written consent and the right to withdraw.
  • Sensitive details left out for safety.
  • A realistic schedule for a small team.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For nonprofits and charities that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Can a small charity afford a podcast?

The effort depends on length, voices and frequency. A short, regular show recorded in batches keeps the effort manageable.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
