NewsPod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NewsPod is a half hour (approximately, as the NewsPod presenter pointed out on the October 24th, 2007 program) audio newsmagazine produced by BBC News each weekday. The programme does not include headlines, and is a compilation of national (British) and international reports and interviews produced for other BBC radio programmes, predominantly from Radio 4 and Five Live. It is the first (and currently only) BBC programme to be available only as an MP3 download and podcast, without being broadcast on any other medium.
The NewsPod was first produced on Monday March 6, 2006 and was initially presented by Eddie Mair, host of the PM newsmagazine.
More recently it has been presented by a range of BBC journalists including Georgina Bowman, Valerie Sanderson, Nicola Stanbridge, and Robin Lustig.
