Why ET Play’s Audio News Podcasts Stand Out From The Rest

Posted by swapnil jukunte on October 10th, 2022

For centuries, reading the newspaper after getting up in the morning was a habit that came naturally to millions across the world. As the medium through which news was consumed underwent a rapid transformation, people started following 24x7 news channels and also their favourite mobile apps for news. Now with the world in the grips of a podcasting revolution, more and more people are turning to the audio medium to listen to the news in English.

When it comes to podcasts, genres such as romance, thrillers and murder mysteries usually top the charts. But the news is perhaps as popular now as people prefer to listen to the most important headlines of the day and also news stories being read out to them. Also popular are analytical podcasts on current affairs and the most newsworthy stories at any given moment. Though there is no paucity of very able competitors in this space, ET Play is a leading player because of its English audio news podcasts which offer sharp and incisive analysis.
