Transmission Roundhouse, the Roundhouse’s own radio and podcast station has launched six new podcasts.
Created, produced and presented by a new group of under 25-year olds, the launch marks a change for the station, which now focuses on podcasts over linear radio, inspired by the current demand for podcasts and listenership trends in the UK. It’s been estimated that 15.6 million people listened to podcasts across the UK in 2020.
The six podcasts, made by and for young people, cover a range of topics including politics, music and love, aimed at Gen Z and Millennial listeners.
