What's New in Adaptive Podcasting
Version 1.0.4 of BBC Research & Development’s Adaptive Podcasting app.
About Adaptive Podcasting
The first of its kind, the Adaptive Podcasting (AP) app brings the next generation of podcasting to listeners, immersing you in audio that is personalised to you.
What happens when your podcast knows a little bit about you or your surroundings? How might the time of day that you're listening change the way a podcast sounds? What if a story could lengthen or shorten in time depending on how long you’ve got to listen to it?
The BBC’s Research and Development team have developed the AP app to play podcasts which use the data on your device, as controlled by you, to personalise the content you listen to. Developed initially for Android only, this is a beta app intended to bring adaptive podcasting to a wider audience, and to support the creative community with experimentation in this area of audio research.
In order for the AP app to work as it has been designed, it requires you to grant permission for the app to access some data on your device. Be assured that this app has been designed with your data safety in mind, and that your data never leaves your phone - the app simply processes relevant data to the podcast you're listening.
With the Adaptive Podcasting app you can:
- Listen to unique podcasts which change and adapt to you
- Experience podcasts with personalisation without sacrificing your personal data
- Listen to standard podcasts alongside adaptive podcasts.
- Hear binaural audio sound
- Enjoy live text to speech capability during a podcast
- Completely free with zero tracking or built-in adverts (some podcasts may contain adverts).
