SBS recently released a daily news podcast series created with English learners and people with disabilities in mind. The initiative includes a short five-minute recap of the day’s news. It provides a ten-minute in-depth summary that explores finance and business, bringing the news to different audiences in accessible ways.
Their “News in English” podcast is only five minutes long. It produces a compelling very short news wrap that is brilliant for building your English ESL skills. It’s a great way to get key real-time updates on what’s happening around the world, even for non-native speakers. This unique program meets the needs of English learners and is designed to make sense of today’s most crucial news developments.
SBS produces a ten-minute wrap of finance and business news, “On the Money.” This is on top of their “News in English” podcast. Hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, this podcast provides deep, no-nonsense analysis of financial markets and emerging economic trends. The refreshing approach of the program gives listeners a brief but thought-provoking look at the national and international business scene.
With both podcasts available on all of the popular podcasting platforms, listeners can access the most up-to-date news on their own schedule. This flexibility is key for audiences that often struggle to engage with typical news offerings. SBS has a special home for its news podcasts on the website www.sbs.com.au/news/listen. Users will more easily be able to discover and subscribe to their favorite programs.
SBS understands the role it plays in distributing information in an inclusive, creative, and equitable way. The organization develops customized materials designed for English language learners and people with disabilities. Through this effort they aim to create greater inclusivity in who is able to consume the news. These initiatives reflect a commitment to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to stay informed about current events and trends.
