A cancer information podcast is now being broadcast on Bedrock Radio to reach more listeners across North East London.
Partnering with the North East London Cancer Alliance, the community hospital radio station will air the Taking Control of Cancer podcast series.
The move brings the programme to audiences on DAB+ digital radio, hospital radio and community platforms.
The podcast is produced by North East London Cancer Alliance and hosted by Steve Bland, known for his work on BBC podcast You, Me and the Big C. It features expert advice, patient stories and practical guidance on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and support.
New episodes will be broadcast on Thursday afternoons. Listeners can also access schedules through the Bedrock Radio app and website.
Bedrock Radio broadcasts across North East London and south west Essex, including in hospitals such as Queen’s, King George, Goodmayes and Whipps Cross.
Femi Odewale, Managing Director of North East London Cancer Alliance, said: “We are delighted that Taking Control of Cancer is now being broadcast on Bedrock Radio, helping us reach even more people with important and potentially life-saving information about cancer.
“The podcast series is designed to empower our communities with trusted advice, improve awareness of cancer signs and symptoms, and support people to access help earlier.”
Bedrock Radio has more than 60 years of service in hospital and community broadcasting, with a focus on health and wellbeing.
Mathew Watson, Chair of Bedrock Radio, said: “As Bedrock Radio’s focus is on health and wellbeing, our partnership with North East London Cancer Alliance is a perfect fit. We are pleased to be broadcasting episodes of such an important podcast series.”
