This is The Guardian.

Podcasts, radio, audio books.

The UK podcast and audio industry is one of the fastest growing parts of the creative industries.

It's shaping culture, driving innovation and delivering real commercial growth,

It's time to change that. Support our campaign to give podcasting and audio a real voice where it

matters at the heart of decision-making for the UK's creative economy.
