BEEF Central yesterday launched The Week in Beef, a dedicated weekly news podcast to help keep Australian beef industry stakeholders informed, connected and up-to-date.

Hosted by Beef Central journalists Eric Barker and Lydia Burton, The Week in Beef will provide an audio round-up of the key stories, market trends and industry developments shaping the beef supply chain from paddock to plate every week.

This new news-focused podcast complements our existing and popular weekly in-depth, long-form interview podcast, The Weekly Grill, hosted by Kerry Lonergan.

Sponsored by Rabobank, The Week in Beef is dedicated to providing members of Australia’s beef supply chain with a quick, convenient and no-nonsense way to stay across matters of importance in the meat and livestock world, backed by original news reporting from the Beef Central team and expert commentators from across the industry.

There’s a clear gap in the ag podcast space for a sharp, informative and truly news-driven beef industry news service, and that is what the The Week in Beef is all about – keeping our audience across the big talking points, in a compact format that is easy to access and follow, and one that gets to the point without wasting your time.

Each week listeners will hear about the big stories shaping the industry, key market developments and insights, and you’ll hear the Beef Central team’s perspective on the numbers that tell the real story each week.

Whether you’re on the horse, in the ute or behind the desk, The Week in Beef is your weekly podcast for staying in the loop and in touch with what the beef industry is talking about.

• Available every Thursday afternoon on the Beef Central website, or via YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, I Heart Radio, Podbean and other podcast platforms. Search for: The week in beef.
