Got a podcast idea? Australia's Podcaster of the Year is listening!
6 August, 2024
Media releases
The fourth annual call-out for distinctive podcasts in any language is open now! Pitch your podcast to join the growing collection of award-winning SBS podcasts for all Australians, including English language learners and soccer fans.
Calling all veteran and aspiring podcasters - SBS is looking for more exciting podcasts to share with its national multicultural, multilingual and First Nations audiences.
SBS Audio wants to hear your ideas across news, entertainment, society and culture, language, food and more to develop with our experienced team and share with Australia's growing podcast audience.
With a keen eye for new and underrepresented talent, SBS is also seeking podcast ideas for new migrants settling in Australia, adult English language learners, and soccer fans with the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 which will be broadcast exclusively on SBS.
This is the fourth year SBS is inviting podcast pitches from the public which have led to the creation of award-winning series like Should You Really Eat That?, The Idiom, Bad Taste and My Bilingual Family.
Acting Director of Audio and Language Content, Pamela Cook, said: SBS Audio lives and breathes the stories of multicultural, multilingual and First Nations Australia, and we're the perfect home for podcasts that celebrate diversity and bring new voices and talent to the fore.
We're thrilled that SBS was named Best Publisher at the Australian Podcast Awards 2023 for a second consecutive year and part of that success comes from our open call-out for pitches.
SBS Digital Audio and Podcast Manager, Caroline Gates, said, We're looking for stories that only SBS is able to tell, which means more distinctive voices and perspectives that connect with our audiences.
It's been wonderful to see podcast ideas incubated through SBS's annual call-out become award-winning series and even grow into second seasons.
A new season of My First Year in Australia with comedian Suraj Kolarkar is available now as well as a second season of Like Us featuring three women from different backgrounds discussing their relationship with Australia available from Wednesday 7 August.
Pitches are shortlisted and workshopped with the SBS Audio podcast team before the next stage, which involves creating a pilot episode.
SBS Audio broadcasts in more than 60 languages with a distinctive podcast offering that sees more than 4 million downloads each month.
Pitches can be made through the online form on the SBS Audio website and close Friday 30 August 2024. Listen to all of SBS Audio's podcasts on the SBS Audio App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LiSTNR and wherever you stream podcasts.
