Black Effect Podcast Network Welcomes Winner of “Pitch Your Podcast”

iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s Black Effect Podcast Networks welcome “The Black Mother Wound Podcast” to the network. The program was the winner selected from the “Pitch Your Podcast” booth at the 2025 Black Effect Podcast Festival last year. Podcast hostimg Jennifer Arnise says, “Winning the ‘Pitch your Podcast’ contest was so validating and made me feel like my voice and the hidden stories of Black women really matter. This podcast is a love letter to Black girls who never felt seen or heard by their mothers and feels like getting the best advice from your tough but loving big sister and your drunk bestie. It’s what I wish I would’ve had when I started my healing journey.” The launch comes ahead of the fourth annual Black Effect Podcast Festival taking place April 25 at Pullman Yards in Atlanta where the “Pitch Your Podcast” booth will once again be available for festival attendees. The activation allows creators to pitch their shows to members of the Black Effect team for the chance to join the network.
