As some eagle-eyed Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship fans may have noticed, the Live Audio section of both the website and Official BTCC App has recently undergone a facelift, giving it a new look ahead of the forthcoming campaign, whilst the all-new BTCC Audio Portal gives you the chance to listen to all our interviews and podcasts via your favourite audio platform.
The Official BTCC website has provided exclusive interviews from inside the paddock over many years, initially by streaming on demand via iTunes and a dedicated Apple Podcasting Channel, with the addition of the Official BTCC App in 2018 adding to the audio opportunities for the series. With over 800,000 podcast listings, Apple Podcasts still remains the #1 podcast directory in the world, but now you can listen your way and whenever you please!
We have selected and will be updating the top podcasting directories in the world including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, TuneIn, Overcast, PocketCasts, Castro, Castbox, and Podchaser to name but a few.
Spotify launched its Podcasting directory in 2018, and it has quickly become the second-largest on the planet, whilst Google Podcasts is a new directory that allows podcasts to show up in Google webs searches, as well as on Apple and Android phones, but aside from the three market leaders of Apple, Spotify and Google there are many more to choose from – click here to see the all-new BTCC Audio Portal for full listings.
In addition to the new-look audio pages, btcc.net plans to utilise the website’s audio capabilities further, by adding more interviews than ever before in various formats, whilst the website's in-story audio player has had a new facelift – see the recent exclusive interview with BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow here.
Numerous BTCC audio features will be forthcoming, including ‘BTCC Careers’ and ‘btcc.net caught up with…’, and to celebrate the launch we will be sitting down for a feature length interview with record-equalling four-time BTCC Champion, Colin Turkington, later this week.
Ahead of Turkington’s interview being published, head over to the Live Audio page now or download the Official BTCC App to check out the new look, and catch up on the latest interview clips, listen to the TOCA Radio 24 hour online stream, or relive this week's Tin Top Tuesday!
However, we are constantly looking at evolving and making content for the fans as easy to access as possible and delighted to announce the new BTCC Audio Portal, where you, the listener can choose your preferred platform or app to subscribe free to the latest updates from the teams, drivers and officials from the championship.
