477. Podcasthon: When Podcasting Becomes Bigger Than Content

In this special Podcasthon episode, we join a global initiative through Podcasthon.org, using podcasting to support charities and nonprofits through meaningful storytelling, and I’m joined by the PMC cast and crew as we each share causes that matter deeply to us. I’m also joined by my best friend Jonah Berger, who shares his experience living with CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) and the work being done toward a cure. From honoring loved ones to sharing personal health journeys, we highlight organizations like the Glioblastoma Foundation, Islamic Relief, CMTA, Stand Up To Cancer, and MSAA. Along the way, we also weave in podcasting insights, reminding ourselves that our shows are more than content. They’re a way to create connection, raise awareness, and make a real impact.Episode Highlights:[00:05] Opening and introduction to Podcasthon and today’s global initiative[02:21] What Podcasthon is and how podcasters are participating worldwide[04:01] How the PMC community is supporting charities through a shared page[05:00] Wheel of Jargon: Understanding IAB and why it matters[11:00] Ralph shares a personal story and supports the Glioblastoma Foundation[20:00] A reminder to honor loved ones and take meaningful action[21:03] Junaid highlights Islamic Relief and advocacy organizations[26:09] Wheel of Jargon: What ID3 tags are and why they matter[27:42] Marc introduces CMT and welcomes guest Jonah Berger[30:00] Living with CMT and how it shapes daily life[34:10] Progress toward a cure and the power of collaborative research[41:48] Camp Footprint and building community for kids with CMT[42:46] D.R. shares her husband’s cancer journey and Stand Up To Cancer[48:45] Tim shares his MS journey and support for MSAA[50:00] The impact of sharing stories and supporting causes through podcastingLinks & Resources: Learn more about Podcastthon:⁠ ⁠https://podcasthon.org⁠⁠Here are the charities the team is supporting for Podcasthon: ⁠https://www.podcastingmorningchat.com/charity/Jonah Berger’s book: He Walks Like a Cowboy ⁠https://www.amazon.com/He-Walks-Like-Cowboy-Disability/dp/0595471684/⁠Jonah's Presentation at his local middle school (courtesy of FOX 47):⁠https://www.facebook.com/reel/1326849999266221⁠Junaid's Book: Podcast Relationship Management⁠http://PRMbook.com⁠Junaid's Podcast 'Operating System'⁠https://www.podglue.com/⁠Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA):⁠https://mymsaa.org/The Podcasting Morning Chat: ⁠www.podcastingmorningchat.com⁠Meet the PMC Cast and Crew:⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/people⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Me: ⁠https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall⁠Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: ⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/eval⁠Join us Mondays at 7 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠http://podcastingmorningchat.com/owp/⁠Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
