Difference Makers Discuss: from audio podcast to global live broadcast

Season 4 of Difference Makers Discuss is a wrap — and it feels like the right moment to look back at how far the series has come.

Difference Makers Discuss is the live web series and podcast from Chartered Accountants Worldwide, exploring how chartered accountants are tackling some of the biggest social and business challenges facing our world. We’ve been part of the production story from the start, and we’re proud of the part we’ve played in its success.

From audio podcast to global live broadcast

It began life as an audio podcast, with the occasional webinar bringing panels of guests together. In November 2023 it grew into the format audiences know today: a live interview show hosted by Sinead Donovan, broadcast across the web, LinkedIn and YouTube to thousands of viewers around the globe. Every episode then lives on as on-demand video and as an audio podcast, so each conversation keeps reaching new listeners long after the recording ends.

A season of stories worth telling

This season opened with Nicholas Riemer and never let up. A highlight for us was Caitríona Jennings — chartered accountant, Olympian, and now the world-record holder for 100 miles, run in 12 hours and 37 minutes. And then she went back to work. She told host Sinead Donovan how the same discipline, resilience and structured thinking that shaped her career powered her all the way to that finish line.

Our thanks to our partners at A1 Marketing and Media for managing the broadcast.

From those early audio episodes to today’s global live broadcasts, it has been a privilege to support Chartered Accountants Worldwide in bringing these conversations to a worldwide audience. Here’s to the difference makers — and to many more conversations ahead.
