ABOUT US
Black Effect Podcast Network
The Black Effect Podcast Network is the first podcast network specifically built for Black listeners, bringing together the most talented and trusted voices in Black culture for critical conversations on social justice, pop culture, and more. We’ve curated influential Black voices and tastemakers and will continue to do so as we expand to include not only voices you know but voices you should.
This is a historic partnership between Charlamagne and iHeartRadio, created from a vision to amplify, elevate, and empower emerging and established talent. Our goal is to shift the narrative from Black creators signing transactional deals, to instead forming legacy partnerships that build generational wealth while allowing each creative to have an equitable stake in their future.
