I don’t get this making podcasts for the bbc - if it’s for the bbc why isn’t it a radio prog? Or does something that doesn’t have a regular broadcast slot automatically become a podcast and shouldn’t podcasts be left to those that don’t have bbc money: backing/ facilities?— Jenny Eclair (@jennyeclair) January 28, 2019
Hi Jenny. This isn’t meant to be a dig, but fact that you ‘don’t get it’ is exactly why we’re making it! Different audiences have different needs and the BBC needs to provide more news content on digital platforms for younger, more diverse audiences.— Dino Sofos (@dinosofos) January 28, 2019
And yes, our podcasts have to meet the same rigorous editorial standards that all BBC radio content does. If anything, they are more closely scrutinised as they are pre-recorded.— Dino Sofos (@dinosofos) January 28, 2019
Hi Dino, love podcasts and the BBC and Brexitcast – and great that you're trying to diversify applicants – but this was a really snarky, W1A-esque and frankly quite ageist response— Isobel Cockerell (@isocockerell) January 29, 2019
Hi Isobel. Thanks. It definitely wasn’t intended as such. My response was to a thread of Jenny’s messages. In one she says she “is annoyed the BBC is jumping on the podcast bandwagon”. My point is that we need to be making podcasts for people who don’t listen to linear radio.— Dino Sofos (@dinosofos) January 29, 2019
wow that's me told! Nice one matey - btw feel free to listen to either my Indy podcast 'Older and Wider' on itunes or the current serial I have on Woman's Hour R4 every day this wk and next at 10.45. In the meantime - take your 'this isn't meant to be a dig' and stuff it— Jenny Eclair (@jennyeclair) January 28, 2019
