PlastikMedia Launches Daily Briefing Podcast in Response to Shifting Industry News Habits

Plastics industry news resource PlastikMedia has launched ‘The Morning Brief’, a daily news podcast designed to provide a comprehensive UK plastics market update in just two minutes. This has been developed in response to reader data showing a shift toward ‘listen-while-you-work’ news consumption.

The decision to launch a dedicated audio briefing came after the team noticed a trend in how people were interacting with the PlastikMedia website. Internal data and research revealed that a growing number of visitors were utilising the audio players on individual news articles to stay informed whilst multi-tasking – specifically while clearing morning emails or preparing for shift starts.

Following a discussion regarding these research findings, PlastikMedia Marketing Executive Dan Russell suggested the creation of a standalone audio summary. To ensure the daily briefing is produced and delivered consistently every weekday morning, PlastikMedia is utilising AI technology to assist with the production and editing process.

“The data showed that our audience is increasingly using audio to save time,” says Jess Clarke, PlastikMedia’s Managing Director.

“After reviewing the research, we decided to create a single, high-density briefing to keep people informed but without them having to spend tonnes of time on it. By using AI as part of the production process, we can hit the 2-minute limit and ensure the update is ready every morning.”

The Morning Brief includes:

• AI-assisted production: Utilising technology to maintain consistency and a strict 120-second duration.
• UK-focused updates: Machinery, business moves, and materials news specifically within the UK market.
• Daily frequency: New briefings available every weekday morning.

PlastikMedia: The Morning Brief is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms.
