Podding along

Podcasts and on-demand on BBC Sounds are still not quite the gateway to an under 35 audience the BBC anticipated. 

In at number 2 in the latest BBC Top Ten of On Demand - WhoDunnits, a selection of old crime dramas from the archive: Agatha Christie's Ordeal By Innocence, from 2014; Baldi, by Simon Brett, featuring David Threlfall, from 2005; Julie Enfield Investigates, starring Imelda Staunton, from 1996; Father Brown, with Andrew Sachs in the lead from 1984 to 1987; and yet more Sherlock Holmes, with various casts and readers, from 2002 to 2009. 

The under-35s chart has Radio 1 Anthems at Number 1, but with The Archers at Number 2, and In Our Time at Number 8. 

Newscasts tops the all-comers podcasts on Sounds, and tops the under-35s chart. Five Radio 4 products are in the under-35s chart. 

BBC World Service has dropped a little in the latest UK listening figures, but the Global Podcast and The Documentary still top the BBC global downloads on all platforms.
