What is the Matt Wardman Daily Roundup Podcast?

Published by admin at 6:30 am under Uncategorized

The Daily Roundup is a “First Edition” roundup of news from the British and International press, media and the occasional blog:

  • It is produced as a roundup article and short - roughly 4-5 minutes - podcast.
  • We aim that the cast and article are published in the early hours to ensure that we are the first source checked by bloggers and opinion formers.
  • The written roundup appears at the Wardman Wire, and on the dedicated Politics Daily website.
  • The podcast feed is here.

Daily Roundup Players

There are also widgets available to put a “Daily Roundup” player in the sidebar of your blog or website. There are two advantages:

  • The short audio programme gives your visitors new content every day - which is especially useful if you do not post daily (or if you are taking a break) as it keeps them coming back.
  • Your blog becomes more “sticky”. Visitors will tend to stay for the 4 minutes or so length of the programme, even if they are reading other blogs in different windows, as leaving your site will cut the roundup short. The length is long enough to give time for visitors to read down your site, but short enough to prevent them becoming bored.

The two versions are below:

Single Edition
