“Tudo que nós tem é nós”: um podcast sobre a solidariedade em tempos de caos

Abstract

The present work reports the experience of producing a journalistic podcast focused on good News, emphasizing solidarity. The “All we have is us”, inspired in a song by the rapper Emicida, seeks to address issues outside the mainstream media, in the face of so many tragedies around the world, with the aim of providing hope in better days for listeners, but without claiming to be an alienation channel. For its debut, a series of three episodes on volunteering was made. Voluntary work in Brazil, according to data from the IBGE of 2020, reaches only 4% of the population. Thus, this work focused on the performance of three Non-Governmental Organizations in Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte: Some Amor, Projeto Motivar and Ministério Compaixão. Those responsible for each of the institutions spoke about the motivations, experiences, difficulties and purposes of their work. As a result, we have 3 episodes of an interview journalistic product that helps to give visibility to the projects, encouraging popular engagement.
