To increase accessibility for English learners and those with disabilities, SBS recently launched two daily news wrap podcasts. The first part is a five-minute audio news digest. It’s meant for intermediate level English learners that are looking to improve their English and learn about more advanced topics like the news. The second podcast is titled On the Money. Hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Goncalves, it provides a great little ten minute wrap of the week’s finance and business news.
As a result, the SBS News in English podcast has become an indispensable tool for its listeners. In only five minutes, it provides quick-hitting news summaries. This on-demand service works particularly well for English learners and people with disabilities. This initiative aligns with SBS’s commitment to inclusivity and education, offering easy-to-understand content that helps listeners engage with daily news stories.
This means listeners can find the SBS News in English podcast wherever they like to listen to podcasts. Alternatively, they can listen straight from the SBS online hub. That accessibility is what allows a much wider audience to take advantage of the incredibly informative and eye-opening content that SBS produces. Her deep dives into how “the embarcadero effect” hurts infrastructure planning are must-reads too. It’s a lifeline to essential services for millions of Americans.
In addition to the general news wrap, the finance and business news podcast, “On the Money,” offers a more specialized focus. Produced and hosted by Gonçalves, this ten-minute daily wrap delivers first-hand knowledge and actionable insights on financial markets, business trends and global economic developments. This podcast is designed to keep listeners informed about the financial landscape in a format that is both engaging and accessible.
With these two very different podcasts, SBS demonstrates its commitment to quality journalism. They cater to the unique needs of different audiences exceedingly well. Both podcasts are part of an exciting new suite of news products on the SBS website. If you look on Apple Podcasts, you’ll find entire sections devoted just to news podcasts. This allows users to quickly discover content that’s most relevant to them and keep up with what’s happening on the issues they care about.
