Ripple Effect: Positive Change Around the Sound is a podcast highlighting the intersection of storytelling and social change. Released monthly, each episode features a local change-maker working to build a better, more inclusive community—telling their story in their own words. Join us as we find out what brings our guests to this moment today, what drives and inspires them, and how you can get involved in advocating for change. Sometimes, it only takes one person to make a difference, and that person could be you.
“Our goal is to provide a platform for amplifying the historically excluded stories and voices of individual change-makers whose positive impact ripples across Puget Sound. We want Ripple Effect to not only provide a deeper understanding of local efforts across our community to make the world a better place, but also inspire and empower listeners to take action, and create their own good in the world.“
– Suzanne M. Cohen, Managing Artistic Director

Ripple Effect is a new podcast program as of March 2025. If you have been following our podcast history, you may be familiar with our previous program, The Mirror Stage Podcast, hosted by Ty Cummings and QuiQui Dominguez. Feel free to listen to these past episodes on Spotify and other podcast platforms, featuring local change-makers discussing systemic inequities, which led to October 2024’s popular Inspired By… 10-minute play festival.
