SBS recently premiered a new suite of daily podcasts. These bilingual podcasts serve the purpose of providing easy-to-follow news and information to English learners and people with disabilities. One of these is the “News in English” podcast, which provides a daily, five-minute news wrap in English. This project is just one example of SBS’s commitment to informing the public of key news in an equitable manner. It does so in a clear, highly accessible format.
Our “News in English” podcast is an excellent resource to develop your English language skills. For one, it helps you stay on top of what’s going on in the world today! By summarizing significant news stories in just five minutes, SBS makes it easier for listeners to engage with the world around them. With the podcast available on all major podcast directories including Apple Podcasts & Spotify, users can listen at their own convenience.
On top of that “News in English” podcast, SBS has an intriguing second podcast called “On The Money.” This program focuses on finance and business news, providing listeners with a daily ten-minute wrap of essential information in these sectors. SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves hosts On The Money. This program helps consumers and industry leaders alike stay up to date on important financial changes and major market shifts.
Both podcasts are created with accessibility in the foreground, welcoming all different types of listeners. They’re on all of the favorite podcast apps, making them accessible wherever listeners want to consume content. This kind of flexibility lets your audience engage with the content on-the-go, when they’re working out, or during their leisure time.
SBS’s podcasts have tremendous public service and educational value, and contribute to a deeper understanding of important topics shaping communities both locally and around the world. Digital audio content, whether through music or podcasts, is experiencing huge growth. Taken together, these initiatives stand SBS up as a champion in delivering consistent, timely and relatable news that really resonates with audiences today.
