The ABC has appointed Wondery’s recent head of international podcasts Jessica Radburn as its head of audio on demand.
Radburn will lead the ABC’s audio on demand strategy including commissioning and development processes.
“She will manage our podcast slate to ensure it aligns to the ABC’s audience priorities across all our key brands,” the broadcaster said in an announcement.
