CBC, Canada's national public broadcaster, is launching French- and Spanish-language adaptations of its podcast series "Alone: A Love Story" through a new collaboration with long-standing partner Acast. Through its network, Acast will host, distribute and monetize the adaptations in new markets around the world.

The first episode of "Seule: Une histoire d'amour" in French and "Sola: Una historia de amor" in Spanish will be available on all podcast platforms on Wednesday, September 6, with new episodes released weekly. The full seasons will be available on Wednesday, November 8. The adaptations are produced by Studio Ochenta, in consultation with Radio-Canada.

"It's an honor to expand our trusted partnership with the CBC," said Acast Managing Director, Canada Heather Gordon. "Alone beautifully illustrates that our common experiences as humans connect us with one another, and it is important for Acast to support CBC in bringing the story to more people than ever before."

"We're always looking for new opportunities to make our content more accessible to audiences here at home and around the world," added CBC Podcasts Director Arif Noorani. "Acast is the ideal partner for this initiative, and we're thrilled to collaborate with them to share this beloved series with a broader international audience."

Acast will make "Seule: Une histoire d'amour" and "Sola: Una historia de amor" widely accessible to listeners by distributing the shows across all podcast platforms.
