Raising voices to renew health and humanity
Conversations shape the contours of how we see ourselves, our work, and the communities we hold close. This is the quiet power of podcasts—they dissolve the distance between boardrooms and frontlines, giving space for voices often left unheard.
Our systems are not just puzzles to be solved, but living stories shaped by values, doubt, feeling, and hope. When we slow down to speak with honesty and to truly listen— hear with heart—we begin to remember who we are beneath the suits and white coats. And in that remembering, we find the courage to create something a new reality, together.
Listen to the podcasts we’ve helped bring to life
Since 2020, we’ve walked alongside storytellers, researchers, frontline workers, and changemakers to help shape a different kind of sound—one that carries care, clarity, and conviction. Across the health and development landscape, each podcast series we’ve supported has found its own rhythm, its own audience, its own truth to tell.
Some hold space for grief and grit. Others invite wonder, raise hard questions, or celebrate quiet triumphs that rarely make headlines. Together, they form a chorus of voices that challenge what we think we know—and remind us that insight often comes not in statements, but in stories.
These are not just shows. They are spaces of remembering, reimagining, and rebuilding.
We are proud to help carry their sound into the world, and think you would find value from listening to them.

Learn about podcasting
At Chembe, we believe in sharing what we’ve learned—so others can find their voice, shape their own sound, and carry their message into the world.
Whether you’re an educator, a practitioner, or simply someone with a story to tell, we want to make the tools of podcasting feel possible and accessible to you. From disrupting knowledge hierarchies in global health to walking alongside first-time hosts, we’ve created resources that demystify the process and honour the learning journey. Because podcasting isn’t just about production—it’s about presence, purpose, and the courage to speak into spaces that matter.
