To accompany the rank, SBS has produced a series of short, daily podcasts. These podcasts improve accessibility and provide important local, state, and national news snapshots to unique audiences. The initiative includes a weekly ten-minute finance and business segment, “On the Money,” produced and hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. It features a weekly five-minute news wrap, specifically designed for English learners and people with disabilities.
“On the Money” keeps listeners in the know with what’s new and changing in the business world, pointing them toward the important and useful information they need every single day. Veteran financial journalist Ricardo Gonçalves takes listeners beyond the headlines to explore new trends and developments. He patiently guides them through big, complex issues that affect the Australian and global economy.
In addition to “On the Money,” SBS produces a “News in English” podcast. This podcast is ideal for anyone looking for bite-sized, easy to digest news and information. This five-minute wrap is tailored for English learners and people with disabilities. It’s an easy way to keep them plugged in to what’s going on and changing.
SBS are already passionate about inclusivity, and wanted to ensure news was as accessible to Australians of all kinds. Their podcasts are hosted on industry-leading podcasting platforms, meeting the audience where they listen and providing convenient access to valuable content anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, SBS provides a dedicated section for news podcasts on its website at https://www.sbs.com.au/news/listen, where users can find both “On the Money” and “News in English.”
The recent addition of these diverse podcasts underscores SBS’s commitment to reaching a wide-ranging audience. The accessibility of their network has become the top priority. This method makes it possible for people with disabilities and limited English proficiency to access news content in meaningful ways. Daily updates through these podcasts help keep listeners informed, bridging gaps in understanding and accessibility.
