To engage with policymakers and influencers, SBS has recently launched its expanded podcast public engagement effort. SBS started with two separate programs targeting very different audiences. The daily ten-minute finance and business news wrap titled “On the Money,” hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, provides listeners with concise financial updates. Additionally, the five-minute podcast “News in English” caters to English learners and individuals with disabilities, ensuring that crucial news is accessible to a broader audience.
“On the Money” provides sharp although concise reflections on major financial current events and movements, easily becoming required listening for anyone hoping to keep a pulse on the business world. Each episode is packed with insights, tips, and best practices to help listeners understand what they need to know in ten minutes or less. The podcast’s image can be viewed here.
“News in English” provides a much more approachable format to news content. It works as an educational tool for ELLs (English language learners) and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Produced in partnership with Foursquare This five-minute tee &pit lays out the day’s most compelling narrative in an engaging, informative, and easy to understand way. The cover art for this podcast episode can be viewed here.
Readers will be able to listen to both podcasts on the SBS news website. Simply go to sbs.com.au/news/listen, and you will find them! Even better, these podcasts are accessible through all major podcasting apps, giving on-the-go policy wonks the perfect chance to dive into the latest news and analysis.
SBS’s dedication to producing informative and engaging news programming shines through its array of podcasts. By combining “On the Money” with “News in English,” the nonprofit proudly shows its commitment to both financial literacy and accessibility. By meeting the needs of different audiences, SBS still brings their SBS to the forefront of how they inform the public.
