SBS has started a new series of podcasts. These new podcasts are designed to provide news coverage that is targeted to English learners, as well as people with disabilities. Listen to the “News in English” podcast and you can receive a daily, five-minute news wrap. Catch On the Money too, our ten-minute finance and business podcast hosted by our SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Goncalves.
The “News in English” podcast is meant to serve those who are often left behind by traditional news formats. By delivering information in a concise and clear manner, it enables audiences to stay informed about current events without feeling overwhelmed. We’re trying to make each episode short and sweet. This approach is what makes it ideally paced for listeners looking for just a 10-minute shot of engaging news and analysis.
The work of getting this daily news wrap out to you is more than just producing it however, and that’s where SBS comes in. The “News in English” podcast is simple to access from all the big podcast apps, making it super easy for users to tune in whenever they like. This flexibility maximizes the service’s geographic reach, bringing the news to where it’s most likely to be received by the intended audience.
In addition to general news coverage, SBS offers the “On the Money” podcast, which focuses on finance and business topics. Hosted by Gonçalves, this ten-minute podcast provides essential updates and insights into economic matters, catering to listeners interested in financial literacy. It breaks down complicated financial information into easily understandable content. That’s what makes it an incredibly powerful tool for anyone looking to level up their understanding of business news.
SBS is committed to being more inclusive. They serve news with an intention to meet people where they are — with the goal of reaching broad, diverse audiences. The local organization is well aware of the important role access to information plays. It intentionally seeks to bridge communication divides for people who find it difficult to navigate conventional media.
Listeners can subscribe to both podcasts right now on their favorite podcast apps. This provides them the flexibility to consume news whenever they have the time and attention to do so. Now, the “News in English” and “On the Money” podcasts are a vital link in SBS’s mission. They provide local, relevant, timely, and inclusive news coverage to our audience.
