SBS has introduced a series of daily podcasts aimed at empowering English learners and individuals with disabilities by providing accessible news content. The flagship program, “News in English,” offers a concise five-minute wrap of current events, while the finance-focused podcast, “On the Money,” delivers a ten-minute summary of crucial business and finance news. Both podcasts are hosted on simplecast.com allowing access on all major podcasting platforms for increased accessibility and audience.
The “News in English” podcast was created especially for people who are learning English, and who need simplified news to help them along. It brings critical public health news stories to life in really innovative and attractive ways. This method keeps learners engaged, keeping them learning the language, and up-to-date. This new initiative is another reflection of SBS’s mission to be inclusive and educational. It equally focuses on the needs of people who face barriers in reaching traditional news outlets.
At the same time, SBS has produced the “On the Money” podcast, hosted by Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. Follow all the action on “News in English” too! This podcast is all about providing quick money news, making it perfect for on-the-go listeners wanting the latest business news and market updates. From the launch to each forward episode it stands as a complete detailed financial wrap-up that’ll give listeners everything they need to understand what’s shaping today’s financial landscape.
Both series are further examples of SBS’s commitment to provide the most timely and relevant information, in a way that anyone can understand it. Listeners will be able to find these daily wraps conveniently in their favorite podcast apps. This helps them to remain engaged and stimulated with the environment around them. Beyond that, these podcasts are featured across various podcast platforms, greatly increasing their accessibility. This added variety provides audiences greater flexibility and convenience in their news consumption.
SBS’s podcasts are an effective way to provide this important information. They foster a sense of community among listeners who might be facing the same challenges or sharing the same learning objectives. Whether it’s public affairs programming in English or “On the Money” in Tagalog, both bridge divides. They even allow people to discover and seek out more content that addresses their unique needs and interests.
