Brexitcast is the BBC’s explainer podcast about the debacle that is Brexit.
 
It was described as ‘a Dog's Brexit,’ which got a hearty laugh from the many EU delegates at Radiodays Europe.
 
The long form podcast uses BBC journalists in a discussion format where the can debate and explain in more detail what is happening more than they can within a one minute live cross in the nightly news.
 

Two major broadcasters are embracing new technology to explore new experiences for their listeners.

If you find the night time sounds from the zoo, the mooing of cows or the ticking of clocks soothing, BBC Radio 3 has you covered with its Slow Radio.

Already available as podcasts, Radio 3 will be offering a new permanent reoccurring Slow Radio slot on the station from early October.

Initially the half hour program will occur monthly on the station.

Listeners love bloopers and BBC Broadcaster Steve Penk is looking for some Aussie blooper tapes to add to the next season of his UK show.

As part of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Autumn schedules Penk will introduce a selection of new and old Radio Nightmares.

"There’s little funnier on live radio than when things go wrong, listeners absolutely love those moments," Penk has told radioinfo.

The deal marks the BBC's first foray into podcast advertising.

The BBC has 16,016 of them online.

The BBC's Director of Radio and Music, Bob Shennan has told the RadioDays conference that digital radio is important as part of the mix of delivery mechanisms, but it is not the only important platform, therefore the BBC is no longer advocating an impending switch off of analog radio.

"We all once thought that DAB alone was the digital future of radio, but with changes in technology, we now know that DAB is important as a part of the mix, as well as Audio Over IP.
