SBS has expanded its podcast range with innovative formats. These are intentionally designed to be interactive and accessible to a wide audience, including English language learners and individuals with disabilities. Other highlights are On the Money, a daily, ten-minute wrap of finance and business news, hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. A more recent and equally thrilling addition is “News in English,” a five-minute news wrap designed for English learners and those with intellectual disabilities.
On the Money provides small but powerful, high-energy bursts of education media that explain what’s going on with today’s finance and business world. In only ten minutes, each episode equips listeners with the day’s most important news so that they can stay informed with ease in this hectic world. The podcast’s engaging format makes complex financial topics accessible to a wider audience.
“News in English” is a godsend to people trying to learn English. This five-minute daily wrap explains what’s going on in the world today and breaks down the big stories into bite-sized pieces. It helps learners more readily understand important concepts. SBS prides itself on the use of accessible language and no-nonsense reporting. By utilizing this method, you’re giving strength to those who have difficulty engaging with traditional news outlets.
Both podcasts are a small but important step in SBS’s larger commitment to serve potential audiences of all shapes and sizes. They’re posted on the SBS News podcast section of their website, which can be found at sbs.com.au/news/listen. Plus, as audiences know, these podcasts are available on all major podcasting platforms, making it easy to share with just about anyone you wish.
