About Ampersand

Ampersand is a podcast helping good people be heard, and comms people do better. If you’re in the “do-good” sector, whether it’s an NGO, non-profit, advocacy, or justice organization, your message deserves to be heard. Each episode, we welcome changemakers, communications experts, and design pros as we discuss how to make an even bigger impact. Join us as we learn more about the nexus of communications and design and how to tell stories that advance sustainability, equity, and justice. This podcast is a project of Emdash — the small agency helping good people be heard. The podcast is hosted by Caitlin Kealey and Megana Ramaswami. It's produced by Elio Peterson. Roslyn Kennery is our Editorial Director. Our theme song is courtesy of Wintersleep. Our art is by Mikey Bacque.
