Director of Digital Marketing and Product Development at Random House, Hannah Telfer commented on the partnership.

At Random House, we have long admired the BBC’s audio programme sharing their passion for publishing the highest quality content.

We’re very pleased to be working together to grow the BBC list and are committed to reaching the largest possible audience for their titles.
