(RED) & Will.i.am Launch RAiDiO STAiTiON for AIDS Awareness

The global health charity (RED) has joined forces with Grammy-winning artist and tech entrepreneur Will.i.am to unveil the RAiDiO STAiTiON—an interactive audio hub designed to drive heat and awareness around the fight against AIDS. Announced on the FYI.ai Instagram feed [https://www.instagram.com/p/DLFZkvKPwcO/], this first-of-its-kind platform invites listeners to plug into curated campaigns, chat with an AI avatar, and explore (RED)’s work in real time.

An Interactive Audio Hub

RAiDiO STAiTiON blends music, information and conversation. Users can stream campaign highlights, revisit classic initiatives like Product (RED) and discover new projects supported by (RED). The AI avatar at the heart of the station answers questions, offers deep dives into statistics and suggests ways to help in the battle against HIV/AIDS. As the official caption explains, “It’s interactive RAiDiO, with an impact. Comment FOCUS or check out the link in bio to get started with the (RED) RAiDiO STAiTiON.”

A Beat For A Cause

Since its founding in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver, (RED) has generated hundreds of millions of dollars to fund prevention, treatment and education in HIV-affected regions. This new audio format gives the charity fresh momentum, using immersive storytelling to connect listeners with on-the-ground partners. By combining original beats and interviews with experts, the station reinforces (RED)’s commitment to transparency and community engagement—turning each play into actionable support.

Will.i.am’s Tech And Philanthropy Fusion

William James Adams Jr.—better known as Will.i.am—has long bridged pop culture and innovation. As a founding member of the Black Eyed Peas, he’s used music to unite audiences worldwide. Offstage, his i.am.angel foundation backs youth education and STEM initiatives, while FYI.ai explores the creative potential of artificial intelligence. He summed up that vision in a recent post: “AI isn’t just for emails and music—it’s your canvas for imagination. Dream big, and watch how you transform your daily routine beyond level 1 tasks.” [https://www.instagram.com/p/DJV9v6TR-T2/]

Whether you’re a longtime supporter of the fight against HIV or a newcomer seeking to learn, this audio station offers a seamless way to engage, donate and share. As Will.i.am notes, “Your acceleration, your turns, your rhythm behind the wheel… all of it shapes the beats. Imagine a song that’s truly alive, created by your motion, in the moment.”

The launch of RAiDiO STAiTiON marks a new chapter for both (RED) and Will.i.am, illustrating how technology and artistry can combine to fuel social change. Listeners around the world are invited to press play, join the conversation and help turn up the volume on AIDS awareness.
