The Great Podcast Goldrush continues. The Sony Music group has bought one of the UK's longest established radio indies, Somethin' Else, formed in 1991. They want their podcast expertise, but alongside they've bought a position as one of the biggest providers to BBC Radio, making over 40 regular shows each week.
Somethin' Else currently produce Gardener's Question Time and The Kitchen Cabinet for Radio 4, Trevor Nelson's Rhythm Nation and Fearne Cotton's Sounds of the 90s for Radio 2, Kermode and Mayo's Film Review for Radio 5Live, Rickie, Melvin and Charlie for Radio 1 (moving to mid-morning from September) and J to Z for Radio 3.
Expect the recent recruitment drive for production talent at their Old Street HQ to continue apace.
