We want podcasters to do what you do best: get talking

You see Stay Tuned is all about fundraising for CALM’s life-saving services. It’s about talking mental health. And it’s about giving people reasons to STAY.

1 in 4 people in the UK have had suicidal thoughts and this month-long podcast‑powered drive will help raise funds for CALM’s life‑saving services - and help people choose to give tomorrow a chance.

What is Stay Tuned?

A month-long podcast‑powered drive to help fund CALM's life-saving services and give people a reason to STAY.

Why podcasts?

From mid-roll laughs to deep-dive chats, podcasts have a way of building real trust. When a well-loved host speaks up, listeners pay attention and take action. Team up with CALM, use your mic to reach in, and let's show that stopping suicide starts with all of us.

Thots TV

While we're here making people laugh about everything from puppet cacti to dastardly gameshows, deep down we're creating a space where people can feel less alone. Thots TV is thrilled to support CALM and help spark more memories and moments of genuine joy by looking back at retro kids TV

SHUT UP I'M TALKING

We’re really proud to be part of the STAY Tuned event. On Shut Up I’m Talking, we aim to have honest, open, and funny conversations about the stuff that matters, even when it’s tough, because we know it can make a real difference for people going through hard times.

JACK AND TOM
Mum, Dad's Got Another Tattoo

Midlife throws its share of tough times, and our podcast exists to build a community that has the tools to navigate those highs and lows. We want to take part in CALM's STAY Tuned to ensure no one feels alone in the struggle.

LEGITIMATE LIKES

Encouraging people to talk about their mental health is really great. Talking is great. Listening is great. And we should know… We're podcasters!

HUGH AND WILL
Wrestling With the Champ

The funniest ride in wrestling can’t wait to tag team with CALM to take on the toughest opponent of all. We’re on a mission to cheer up the nation and we won’t stop until everyone’s laughing in the aisles.

ANT AND DAMIEN
The Dial Up

In amongst our time-travelling, wormhole adventure is a story of people dealing with loneliness and finding connection in the most unlikely of places. The Dial-Up stresses the importance of talking to people, when everything feels too much. Doesn't matter if it's something simple like talking about your favourite pastimes, or navigating a cosmic anomaly, check-in on your buddy, and make sure they're doing okay!
