In recognition of September as National Suicide Prevention Month, Audacy’s annual I’m Listening mental health broadcast returns for the tenth year across the company’s radio stations and digital platforms with special programming from September 8 to 13.
Since its start, I’m Listening has raised more than $2 million for local and national mental health organizations, while helping broaden the national conversation around mental health through awareness and advocacy.
Audacy’s 2026 I’m Listening programming will be hosted by TODAY personality Carson Daly alongside Audacy Country’s Katie Neal from Katie & Company. Returning this year is psychologist, scientist, and The AAKOMA Project founder, Dr. Alfiee M. Breland-Noble. They’ll be joined by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Christine Yu Moutier.
Listeners will also hear from artists including Kelly Clarkson, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Tate McRae, and The Smashing Pumpkins.
I’m Listening will live stream on-air across all Audacy stations, as well as on the Audacy app and website.
Audacy SVP of Programming Dave Richards said, “Nearly a decade after we first launched ‘I’m Listening,’ the need for honest conversations about mental health has never been more important. Every year, we’re reminded of the power of simply creating space for people to listen, share their experience, and know they’re not alone. We’re proud to bring this important program back to our audiences nationwide and continue using the reach and intimacy of audio to connect people with stories, resources, and hope.”
If you or anyone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or any other type of crisis, get immediate emergency assistance by calling 911 or the 24/7 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
