In a major win for Lifestyle Magazine and the disability community, the Lifestyle Pod vodcast, will be available onboard British Airways’ (BA) High Life Entertainment from June 2024.
The videos feature British Sign Language (BSL) and captions, ensuring accessibility, and will be seen by 100,000s of travellers.
What is the Lifestyle Pod?
The Lifestyle Pod is a podcast series from the team behind our award-winning Lifestyle magazine.
Hosts Sophie-Marie Odum and Samantha Renke, disability rights campaigner, explore what it means to live your best life while navigating a disabling world.
Plus, there’s entertaining, all-you-need-to-know car chat from Lifestyle Drive editor Matt Lizzimore.
The vodcast is the video equivalent of the audio podcast.
“We look forward to many more people enjoying the Pod”
Lifestyle editor, Sophie-Marie Odum, says: “While the podcast is for everyone, we hope the disabled community feel represented while travelling.
“As far as we’re aware, BA is the first airline to have an accessible vodcast onboard. We look forward to many more people enjoying the Pod.”
