ZedWiki Podcast – S2, E3: What Makes Us Stand Out

In this episode of the ZedWiki Podcast, Joy takes listeners on a journey through history, culture, and open knowledge. We begin with Today in History, exploring notable events that happened on March 10, including the legacy of Harriet Tubman and major global milestones.

Our Article Spotlight shines on the 1935 Copperbelt Strike, a significant moment in Zambia’s history that helped inspire labour movements and African nationalism.

We also introduce a brand-new segment called “My Town,” where we explore the history and culture of the places we come from. In this first feature, we travel to Zambezi Town in North-Western Province, discovering its traditions, people, and fascinating landmarks.

Finally, we wrap up with Wikimedia News, Tech and Tools Updates, covering Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary celebrations, new language Wikipedias, and the latest innovations shaping the Wikimedia movement.

This episode highlights what makes open knowledge stand out—connecting local stories from Zambia to a global audience through platforms like Wikipedia and Chalo Chatu.
