Turning listeners into participants

The Young Ike Project’s “Podclub Model” is a ready-to-run live experience that helps community groups boost engagement, host meaningful programming, and bring people together around today’s environmental issues.

Why This Matters:

People are craving real world conversation.

Many of today’s most important environmental questions are reduced to slogans, online outrage, and endless scrolling. At the same time, local organizations across the country are looking for fresh ways to engage their members.

The Young Ike Project’s Podclub Series solves both problems by turning great podcast content into memorable in-person gatherings.
