The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has announced it will provide more resources to expand its podcasting enterprise. The successful audio production unit of BBC Studios will be boosted as the company aims to expand to reach listeners at home and abroad. In May 2022, the BBC set up a review of its speech audio production unit to see how to best tap into the global market of podcasts. - After the review, it has decided to move "timeless" radio content produced in the U.K. that has global appeal to BBC Studios.
- This includes British radio shows like Desert Island Discs, In Our Time, and The Life Scientific, as well as drama and documentaries.
- The move will have a total of 8% of the total BBC Radio Network spending go to spoken word content.
- Being able to utilize the BBC Studios' existing global network will help reach more listeners.
