SBS has also recently launched two other podcast offerings in order to deepen accessibility and understanding of complex finance and current affairs topics. SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves hosts a daily ten minute finance and biz news wrap. Let me introduce this show, which we’re calling “On The Money.” This podcast aims to provide listeners with concise yet insightful updates on the latest trends and developments in the financial sector.
SBS produces a special five-minute news wrap tailored for English Language Learners and those with disabilities. This product goes hand-in-hand with their popular radio program “On The Money.” Their “News in English” effort brings the most important news stories to people in a way they can understand. It helps to make sure that important information is shared with a larger community.
Both podcasts are an example of SBS’s mission to be inclusive and educate. Nerdy deep dives from our “On The Money” podcast. Whether it’s stock market crashes, inflation and recession, or central bank policies, it’s filled with smart analysis and ideas for anyone looking to understand the world’s financial systems and markets. Gonçalves takes his deep knowledge and experience and puts them in practice, providing an easily digestible yet powerful experience.
The “News in English” podcast has an additional role. It explains what’s going on in the news in plain English. It further serves the community by assisting those who have difficulty or impossibility accessing other formats of news. This project showcases SBS’s commitment to understanding the needs of our diverse communities and making sure everyone has access to important information.
Both podcasts are available on their digital home at www.americanprogress.org/podcast/. This benefit of convenience to the user enables people to have all the latest information even while on the go. SBS has launched a home for these news podcasts at sbs.com.au/news/listen. Here, audiences can quickly and conveniently discover all of the free content on offer, and subscribe to their favorite shows.
To further position SBS as a critical information source, we’ve developed customized podcasts. These podcasts are helping to build financial literacy and awareness among greater underrepresented groups. This blend of educational substance and public-friendly format is a testament to SBS’s mission of using all forms of media to connect with the community they serve.
