swissinfo launches an audio podcast service


The English service of swissinfo has launched an audio podcast service. As the successor to Swiss Radio International, swissinfo is continuing a tradition that began more than 70 years ago with the words, “This is Switzerland calling”.

The current affairs podcast highlights the top stories of the week in Switzerland as well as offbeat and cultural news. The reports give a voice to the people making the headlines or who have a unique story to tell. The podcast compliments the news and feature texts available on the website.

swissinfo is an enterprise of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. The Internet information platform provides news about Switzerland in the form of text, image, audio and video reports in nine languages. The focus is on Swiss politics, business, social affairs, travel & culture as well as science & technology.
