World Bank turns 14 reports into 14 podcasts in 48 hours with Wondercraft

The problem

The World Bank's written research reports were thorough but not accessible to busy policymakers or non-academic audiences, and traditional podcast production could not scale to deliver content in multiple formats across seven languages.
