Happy 3rd, Black Effect Podcast Net
• Charlamagne Tha God and iHeartMedia celebrate the third anniversary of the Black Effect Podcast Network that launched in 2020 with the ambitious goal of becoming the world’s largest podcast publisher dedicated to Black listeners, bringing together the most influential and trusted voices in Black culture for stimulating conversations around social justice, pop culture, sports, mental health, news, comedy and more. Over that time, Black Effect Podcast Network has launched 30 exceptional shows — including Carefully Reckless, All The Smoke, and Reasonably Shady. Ten of these shows are on the top podcast charts in recognition of their exceptional storytelling and impact.
Some of The Black Effect’s other notable accomplishments, under the leadership of co-founder Charlamagne Tha God and President of Production and Creative Development Dollie S. Bishop, include: 1) Building powerful brand partnerships and collaborating with major consumer brands like AT&T, Nissan, State Farm, American Express, and Molson; 2) Successful events that highlight vital voices and perspectives, including the inaugural Black Effect Podcast Festival, and the Thrill of Possibility Summit, in partnership with Nissan; 3) 800 million+ downloads and over 2.3 million monthly listeners.
“As we celebrate three years of The Black Effect Podcast Network, we honor the power of representation, the resilience of our community, and the unwavering commitment to truth and excellence,” said Charlamagne Tha God. “Together, we’ve amplified voices and paved the way for a future where our narratives flourish.”
“These milestones reflect The Black Effect Podcast Network’s commitment to excellence and its tremendous impact on the podcasting landscape,” said Conal Byrne, CEO of iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group. “As we look to the future, we’re excited to continue pushing boundaries, elevating diverse voices, and making a difference through our content — and we want to congratulate and thank Charlamagne, Dollie, and the entire Black Effect Podcast Network team for their unwavering commitment and passion.”
The Black Effect Podcast Network is available on the iHeartRadio app, iHeart.com, and everywhere podcasts are heard.
