    WYDE Launches Impact Exchange, a Podcast on Turning Everyday Money Into Meals

    Key Takeaways

    • WYDE has launched the Impact Exchange, a new podcast hosted by co-founders Aaron Rafferty and Martin Simms with Rob Brinkman.

    • The first season runs four episodes on the EAT Card, a debit card and creator model that tie spending and posting to hunger relief, and food waste.

    • All four episodes are streaming now on WYDE's YouTube channel.

    WYDE has launched a podcast. The WYDE Impact Exchange, now streaming on the organization's YouTube channel, pairs WYDE co-founders Aaron Rafferty and Martin Simms with Rob Brinkman to explain how everyday money and everyday actions can fund hunger relief. The first season opens with four episodes.

    What the first season covers

    Episode one, The EAT Card, Spend and Someone Eats, a 29-minute look at how a card purchase turns into a meal.

    Episode two, The Debit Card That Pays You to Post for a Cause, runs about 50 minutes on how posting can carry the funding.

    Episode three, Uber for Content, Post for a Cause and Get Paid, frames the creator side as an on-demand model for cause content.

    Episode four Paid to Feed: Creators, Restaurants, and Food Waste, a 25-minute episode on cutting waste while feeding people.

    Why WYDE is doing a show

    WYDE built its model on showing the receipts, and a podcast is that same idea in a different medium: explain, in plain language, how the pieces connect. The show sits alongside WYDE's newsroom coverage of the wider problem it works on, from EAT becoming the largest charity token by market cap to Feeding America mapping a $33.7 billion food shortfall. The format lets the founders walk through the mechanics a headline cannot. Worth a listen.
