Pedestrian TV launches daily news podcast in a Spotify exclusive

PEDESTRIAN.TV , Australia’s largest youth-focused site, today launched PEDESTRIAN DAILY , a daily news podcast in an exclusive partnership with Spotify.

Running Monday to Friday, PEDESTRIAN DAILY will give a voice to the headlines dominating PEDESTRIAN.TV in entertainment, music, sport, style, and politics in PEDESTRIAN.TV’s uniquely fearless approach to coverage.

Hosted by writer, comedian, PEDESTRIAN.TV alumni and self proclaimed “new king of the airwaves” Louis Hanson, the 5-minute daily news show will hit young Aussie listeners with the local news they care about on their morning commute (or from their lounge room, for WFHers).

James McManus, Creative Director of Pedestrian Group, says: “”We are excited to convert PEDESTRIAN.TV ‘s eyeball-ripping headlines into the audio space and reach more young Aussies hungry for news tailored to their lives. This Spotify Exclusive adds an important daily news offering to Pedestrian Group’s podcast portfolio.”

Josie Rozenberg-Clarke, Head of Editorial of PEDESTRIAN.TV, says: PEDESTRIAN.TV is all about bringing young Aussies the stories they need to know about in a relatable, accessible way. With PEDESTRIAN DAILY, we’re extending this approach into the audio space, delivering our spicy brand of news direct to our audience’s ears first thing in the morning. What better way to kick off the day?”

Ben Watts, Head of Studios at Spotify Australia & New Zealand, says: “We’re huge fans of PEDESTRIAN.TV ‘s irreverent and honest take on daily news and we know our audience are as well. We also know Spotify listeners want more short form news podcasts, so the opportunity to collaborate with PEDESTRIAN.TV to deliver a daily podcast made perfect sense for our business.”

i’m looking for a daily news podcast now the signal is finishing up but confining it to spotify is an immediate no from me. I’m not going to use spotify when Overcast on my iphone is there and i use it for other podcasts.

I’m really thinking of just subscribing to the world today and PM - i’ll listen to the world today on my commute home and last nights PM on the morning commute

Podshape’s Who Killed Bob is the first Australian podcast to utilise Spotify’s subscription service. The 10-part series focuses on murder, intrigue and injustice following the disappearance of Bob Chappell aboard the yacht ‘Four Winds’ in Tasmania in 2009, which was also the subject of Undercurrent documentary which aired on Seven in 2019.

Considering the billions they’ve spent on acquiring big name podcasts, Spotify’s UX for Podcasts is astonishingly poor. Hope they eventually fix it.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age launch Futurepreneur podcast

Hosted by the mastheads’ leading business journalists, the podcast will give listeners an insight into Australia’s leading business minds

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have launched a new podcast series, Futurepreneur , designed to give listeners an insight into Australia’s leading business minds and how they see the economy and entrepreneurship.

Each episode of the eight-part series will be hosted by a journalist from the mastheads’ business section and will introduce listeners to the business leaders who are driving Australia’s economy as we step boldly into a post-pandemic future.

Futurepreneur, produced in partnership with Optus, will draw out the journey business leaders have been on and get their perspective on the future of the Australian economy, based on the challenges they have faced. The discussions are varied and enlightening, with some of the country’s best-known leaders opening up on everything from hiring (and firing), raising capital and developing and marketing a product to how to avoid burning out, and dealing with success and failure.

“Our readers are fascinated by entrepreneurship, but it is nowhere near as easy or glamorous as it is often portrayed,” said John McDuling, Business Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age . “We’re thrilled to release Futurepreneur into the wild. It’s essential listening for anyone who has thought about founding a business, or has already taken the plunge.”

Episode one examines the first step an entrepreneur takes in their business journey and looks at the Australian start-up community with venture capitalist Nick Crocker in conversation with John McDuling.

With later episodes featuring start-ups including Eucalyptus, Shameless and Powerledger, one of Australia’s most successful start-up founders, Scott Farquhar from Atlassian, reveals his thoughts about the “great resignation”, the work from home debate and the role of the office in a post-COVID economy.

In recent months both mastheads have significantly ramped up their audio presence, launching twice-daily audio news bulletins as well as the gripping true-crime podcast, Bondi Badlands .

New episodes of Futurepreneur will be released weekly on APPLE, GOOGLE and SPOTIFY .

SBS launches new podcast celebrating the “Ugly Ducklings” of Italian Cuisine

SBS has today launched its first ever bilingual podcast series - The Ugly Ducklings of Italian Cuisine ( Scarrafoni in cucina ) in English and Italian - celebrating the most delicious, non-Instagrammable Italian dishes that might never have come across your plate.

The first two episodes are available today in both English and Italian on the SBS Radio app and all popular podcast platforms.

Over the course of six episodes, the series will follow some of Australia and Italy’s most well-known chefs and food critics, including acclaimed restaurateur and food personality Guy Grossi, celebrity chef Poh Ling Yeow, and food blogger and author Emiko Davies, as they explore and celebrate Italy’s least appetizing specialties.

From a much-loved rigatoni that uses the intestines of an unweaned calf, to a celebratory Carnevale pudding made of chocolate and pig’s blood, each episode will introduce listeners to a new recipe - uncovering a fascinating history and serving up a reminder that food shouldn’t always be taken at face value!

Podcast host Massimiliano Gugole , from SBS Italian, said: “Italy is a country of beauty, with its food celebrated all over the world, but this podcast will introduce listeners to some of our lesser-known culinary treasures, with a healthy dose of irony thrown in for good measure.”

The first two episodes are now available in English and Italian on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and via the SBS Radio app.

Episodes of The Ugly Ducklings of Italian Cuisine will drop every Wednesday.

You can now hear BBC News, Business Update and Sports Update from the BBC World Service on the LiSTNR App.
