IF THERE’S been one thing that 2020 has been good for, it’s podcasting.
Research by the BBC shows that during the first lockdown, 3.4 million people turned in to its BBC Sounds app, and they were responsible for a record 136 million plays of on-demand radio programmes and podcasts between April, May and June.
So it’s no wonder that the podcast scene is booming.
Now a new podcast for Wokingham is being launched, from the team behind Buzzpodcasts.co.uk.
They said that they have been hard at work behind closed doors for most the year, creating content for its new series. This has included talking to independent local businesses, traders, shops and local musicians, singers and bands.
Based in Camberley, they’ve been recording from a studio set up in the Willows Coffee House in Basingstoke – but they’d love to find somewhere in Wokingham that would work for them.
So far, they’ve created more than 300 free podcasts and are now looking for people to get in touch for its forthcoming attractions.
They are looking for everything from businesses to entertainers to get in touch and share their story.
Head of presentation at Buzzpodcasts, Roger Noble, says: “Everyone has a story to tell, and people want to know the local information, so this a perfect way of putting it across to a rapidly increasing audience day-by-day.”
