SBS Launches New Podcasts to Enhance Accessibility for English Learners and Individuals with Disabilities

SBS has launched a podcast operating cycle to make news more accessible to English learners and people with disabilities. The News in English podcast provides an easy to understand, fast moving five-minute daily newscast. It particularly benefits students desiring to increase their proficiency in the English language. SBS produces the “On the Money” podcast. Produced twice daily, this ten-minute daily wrap of all the day’s newsy pieces helps confused consumers make sense of today’s developments in finance and business news.

The “News in English” podcast presents current events in a concise format, making it easier for non-native speakers to understand and engage with the news. This collaborative initiative is a testament to SBS’s dedication to serving English learners through content that is both broadly accessible and specifically attuned to their educational needs. The podcast is available on various popular podcast apps, ensuring that listeners can easily access it from their devices of choice.

On the Money is a smart, concise, and fun daily newsletter with quick takes on money and business. It is produced and hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. This podcast is specifically designed for listeners looking to make sense of new economic trends and market dynamics, all in an easily digestible ten minute format. By making important material easy to understand, SBS hopes to engage anyone looking to improve their financial knowledge.

SBS understands that diversity and inclusion is essential to the way we produce and consume news. The Hosting organization has customized these podcasts, not just for English learners, but for those living with disabilities. By offering clear and concise news wraps, SBS enhances the overall experience for audiences who may face challenges in traditional news formats.

Listeners can easily access these podcasts through their favorite podcast platforms, allowing them to stay informed on current events and financial matters at their convenience. The variety of topics covered by SBS podcasts ensures that there is something for everyone, catering to diverse interests and needs.
