The ZedWiki Podcast is a collaborative initiative developed by the Wikimedia Community User Group Zambia, in partnership with Chalo Chatu. Officially launched on 1 October 2025, the podcast advances the shared mission of both organizations to preserve and promote Zambia’s history, culture, and heritage through open knowledge.
By transforming verified written content from Chalo Chatu and other open knowledge platforms into engaging audio storytelling, the ZedWiki Podcast amplifies Zambian voices and makes the nation’s collective memory more accessible through sound. Each episode highlights the people, places, traditions, football, and creative arts that define Zambia, presented in an authentic, educational, and culturally resonant format.
The inaugural episode featured the Embassy Park Presidential Burial Site as its spotlight topic, reflecting the project’s dedication to national heritage preservation. Hosted by Blueprint from Lusaka, the podcast maintains a professional yet approachable tone—balancing cultural storytelling with factual documentation.
Beyond storytelling, the ZedWiki Podcast serves as a public outreach and educational platform that showcases Zambia’s active participation in the global Wikimedia movement. It supports awareness and engagement in initiatives such as Wiki Loves Folklore, Wiki Loves Earth, and other campaigns celebrating Zambia’s heritage and environment.
Through this partnership, the ZedWiki Podcast reinforces Chalo Chatu’s role as Zambia’s leading free knowledge archive while extending Wikimedia Zambia’s commitment to open, accessible, and community-driven documentation. Together, they empower Zambians to learn, contribute, and preserve the nation’s story—one episode at a time.
