Coronacast

The ABC decided to launch a daily podcast about the coronavirus pandemic in late February 2020. At the time, no one thought the podcast would still be running more than 18 months later. The podcast is produced by a small team: co-hosts Dr Norman Swan and Tegan Taylor with producer Will Ockenden. The team lives across 3 different cities, which have been subject to various restrictions over the course of the pandemic, forcing creativity in how the podcast is produced. A variety of ABC studios, walk-in wardrobes, cars, doonas and towels have been involved in getting a consistent sound. The response of the audience to Coronacast has been huge – the ABC has received hundreds of thousands of questions over the course of the pandemic, and Coronacast has quickly become one of the biggest podcasts in Australia, demonstrating people’s hunger for information about the pandemic.
