We’ll do the hard work of finding the right mix, podcast or radio programme for you. It’s the start of an adventure - we’ll learn from our audiences to keep improving what Sounds offers, so we can bring the best to everyone.”

Bob Shennan, Director of Radio and Music, says: “成人论坛 Radio has always been brilliant at reinventing itself and 成人论坛 Sounds is the next chapter in that great tradition. We make the best radio, podcasts, and offer the best music curation in the world - and through 成人论坛 Sounds we can ensure more people than ever can enjoy that when and how they want.”

Every person’s experience of 成人论坛 Sounds will be unique - as it’s designed to learn from listening habits, providing one-tap access to the latest episodes of favourite 成人论坛 podcasts and radio shows and introduce people to new audio they wouldn’t otherwise have discovered.
