In September 2020, Charlamagne teamed with iHeartRadio to launch The Black Effect Podcast Network, a service dedicated to uplifting Black culture and Black voices. Through the joint venture, Charlamagne curated a list of podcasts that incite moving conversations around social justice, pop culture, sports, mental health, news, politics, comedy and more.
With over 29 shows under its umbrella, The Black Effect Podcast Network offers new and established content creators and storytellers a space to showcase their creative vision, which would often get marginalized and neglected at other companies.
