BBC Sounds continues to enhance its platform by providing multilingual content and a variety of podcast episodes. The service now features programs in three languages: Cymraeg (Welsh), Gaeilge (Irish), and Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic), making it more accessible to a diverse audience.
Listeners can find Cymraeg on BBC Sounds, Gaeilge on BBC Sounds, and Gàidhlig on BBC Sounds. This initiative is just one example of the BBC’s efforts to stay relevant and inclusive in its cultural representation and diversity in programming.
Beyond its language offerings, BBC Sounds features a rich array of creative, entertaining, knowledge-building podcasts. Perhaps the most remarkable series is What in the World. This series recently released an episode titled “Why we are having fewer children than we want” on July 1, 2025. This episode has actually been out for more than a year. It explores the cultural, economic, and social factors that shape family planning choices on a demographic level.
Moreover, the podcast series includes other intriguing episodes such as “A Romantic Recession: How Gen Z isn’t settling for love” and “Why choosing the next Dalai Lama could be tricky,” the latter of which runs for 12 minutes. These themes speak to complex social issues and cultural conversations that are personal and urgent to today’s audiences, especially young people.
