The idea behind a podcrawl is for a variety of podcasts to coordinate on timing and topic to push a theme and get each otherâs listeners to explore all of the podcasts. One of the first goals behind NephMadness was to build a community and in the early years of Twitter, NephMadness was central to the formation of #NephTwitter and defining the ethos that makes our online community kind, intelligent, vibrant, and interesting. The NephMadness Podcrawl hopes to inspire and grow the nephrology podcast community in the same way. This year along with the Global Kidney Care Podcast the following series will participate:8 podcasts in all one for each region in this yearâs NephMadness
