''Make Me Care About''

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced a new podcast series called "Make Me Care About," hosted by podcast host and author Jen Hatmaker. The first of 13 episodes are available now, and each new episode will publish on Wednesdays. The program will feature Hatmaker in conversation with guests from around the world who are solving some of the world's biggest problems.

Listeners will hear stories of health care workers, advocates, scientists, and educators whom the foundation supports through its thousands of grantees, as well as employees, all of whom are working to end disease, poverty and inequality.

"By investigating innovative but often overlooked solutions to global challenges, Make Me Care About is an invitation for listeners to be inspired by amazing people and their work on world-changing projects," said the Gates Foundation Chief Communications Officer Susan Byrnes. "Through conversations with our partners and experts, Jen shares some of the remarkable stories that motivate our work to create a world where every person-no matter where they're born-is able to live a healthy life and reach their full potential."

"I love to share inspiring stories, so I'm excited to be partnering with the Gates Foundation on the Make Me Care About podcast," added Hatmaker. "Every episode is a real opportunity to connect with some of the most remarkable people the foundation works with. Together, we'll investigate the deeply important and impactful topics that often get little attention and explore the stories behind some of the most innovative solutions helping us all to live, grow, and thrive."

Produced by Magnificent Noise, Make Me Care About will be distributed by Acast across all podcast platforms and listening apps.
