Show overview
Enfield Talking Newspaper has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 166 episodes. That works out to roughly 170 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 2026th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 53 min and 1h 1m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 days ago, with 32 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 47 episodes published.
From the publisher
The Enfield Talking Newspaper has been providing a free audio recording of local news to our blind and partially sighted neighbours since 1961.The Enfield Talking Newspaper was the first talking newspaper in the UK, established in 1961. More than sixty years on, our purpose remains the same - to create an audio recording of the news articles in our local newspapers and to deliver this, as quickly as we can, to blind and partially sighted residents in the borough. The service is entirely free and the charity run and managed by volunteers. In 1961 we began with 6 listeners; today around 60 people receive a memory stick or hear our recording via the internet each week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
