[Podcast] ZedWiki Podcast Season Two Begins
by Wikimedia Zambia 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

Dear Wikimedia Community, Warm greetings from Zambia. We are delighted to share that *Season Two *of the ZedWiki Podcast <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ZedWiki_Podcast> has officially launched, with Episode One now available, marking and celebrating twenty-five years of Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:25th_anniversary> — a global experiment that has transformed how the world creates, shares, and preserves knowledge. In this opening episode, we reflect on Wikipedia’s journey over the past twenty-five years, explore how recorded knowledge shapes our understanding of history and heritage, and spotlight how communities — especially here in Zambia — engage with and benefit from free knowledge projects. The episode also connects this milestone to local documentation efforts, including cultural heritage, oral history, and the future of Wikimedia work in Zambia. The ZedWiki Podcast is produced by the Wikimedia Community User Group Zambia, in partnership with Chalo Chatu, and serves as a platform to amplify Wikimedia stories, community voices, and knowledge initiatives from Zambia to the world (Zambia Ku Chalo). 🎧 Listen now: Available on Spotify <https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ryao8f5L0wUgFWDjKkOTW?si=fs6eVx7ISUGsOsgs…> Available on Apple Podcasts <https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/zedwiki-podcast-wikipedia-25-history-…> As we celebrate Wikipedia at twenty-five, this season looks ahead — to community voices, cultural documentation, and initiatives such as Wiki Loves Folklore and the Knowledge Without Borders Project, as we continue working to make Zambian knowledge visible and accessible globally. We warmly invite you to listen, share with your networks, and celebrate this milestone with us. Thank you for being part of the global Wikimedia movement. With gratitude and solidarity, *ZedWiki Podcast * *W**ikimedia UG Zambia* *Comms Team* *Website: **https://wikimedia.org.zm/ <https://wikimedia.org.zm/>*

We're inviting everyone in the Global GLAM Community to submit your topic requests and proposals. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeX0hCAnZzbUdTLY2ncYBuFj0sn7aTw8Jf… We're building our upcoming agendas around the five strategic pillars that were developed at GLAM Wiki last year, which form the foundation for GLAM activities in 2026 and beyond. By centering these pillars in our calls, we hope to help affiliates and contributors prioritize these themes in their own work and collaborate across time zones, countries, and languages to advance GLAM Wiki activities together.
