In 2016, taking advantage of a trend towards podcast listening, Starbucks sought to engage customers through a branded “Starbucks Original Series” that highlights the extraordinary actions of ordinary people

The series of podcasts, short stories, and videos, titled “Upstanders”, is reminiscent of Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul and focuses on individuals who train veterans back to strength, guide students to scholarships, and rid the world of hunger.
