"Podcasts, as on-demand video and audio shows, are a cornerstone of modern media. Our distinctive Lovin' format has thrived with the Lovin Dubai Show, prompting us to expand it across all our locations. In Egypt, it serves as a daily show for the people of Cairo. In Doha, where there is no English radio station, it unites communities. Meanwhile, the Lovin Riyadh Show makes our Lovin Saudi content more accessible in English, connecting with a whole set of diverse audiences in the Kingdom,” said Richard Fitzgerald, CEO & Founder of Augustus Media, an award-winning Middle Eastern digital media company based in Dubai and Riyadh.
