News Podcast

News Podcast is an innovative mobile application designed to deliver audio-format news content, exemplifying the evolution of digital news consumption in the modern era. This sophisticated platform, developed by Belgian designer Raphael Batista in 2020, represents a significant advancement in mobile news delivery systems, combining minimalist interface design principles with practical functionality. The application's distinctive electric blue background serves as a canvas for content blocks, adhering to iOS flat design principles while maintaining visual clarity and user focus. The platform's architecture enables users to access news content through audio formats, particularly beneficial for consumers during commutes or while multitasking. The design, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications and Software Design category, showcases exceptional attention to user experience through its intelligent content curation system and seamless integration of live and recorded content. Developed using Sketch and Protopie for animations, the application demonstrates sophisticated technical implementation while maintaining accessibility. The platform's development process involved extensive user research, including persona development and iterative testing phases, resulting in a refined product that addresses modern news consumption habits. Notable features include the ability to save favorite podcasts, access to live broadcasts, and a carefully considered advertising integration system that maintains the integrity of the news delivery experience. The project, completed in Brussels between June 2019 and February 2020, represents a significant innovation in digital journalism, transforming traditional news consumption into an audio-first experience while maintaining professional journalistic standards.
