Get ready for an epic 25-hour podcast marathon! BBC's Newscast is going all out for Children in Need, and you won't want to miss this!
The challenge? A non-stop podcast-a-thon, live-streamed on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer, hosted by the incredible Adam Fleming. From 8 am on Thursday to 9 am on Friday, Adam and his Newscast crew will keep the conversation flowing.
But here's where it gets exciting: Adam won't be alone. He'll be joined by the entire Newscast family, including Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg, Paddy O'Connell, and Henry Zeffman. And that's not all - a whole host of BBC podcast and radio stars will also make an appearance!
Think Danny Robins from the Uncanny podcast, the legendary Armando Iannucci, Radio 2's Jeremy Vine, historian Greg Jenner, and media expert David Yelland. There's even a special hour with the 5 Live Football Daily Podcast and a cozy late-night session with The Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4.
Across the 25 hours, Adam and his guests will explore stories from around the globe, with BBC News correspondents joining for an 'Around-the-clock-cast' on Europe, Asia, Australia, and America. And if that's not enough, Adam and friends will also make surprise appearances on radio and TV throughout the day.
You can catch all the action on the Live News stream on BBC Sounds (find it via the 'Listen Live' dial on the BBC Sounds app) and on BBC iPlayer.
This is a unique opportunity to support a great cause and enjoy some fantastic podcasting. Don't miss out!
And this is the part most people miss: the power of podcasts to bring people together and raise awareness for important causes. So, will you be tuning in? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
