Africa Podfest virtual panel discussion-"Radio's Place in a Podcasting World."
Episode 102, Mar 19, 2020, 09:12 AM
This is a special edition of Voices from SA. A virtual panel discussion arranged by Africa Podfest that I moderated entitled "Radio's Place in a Podcasting World.
Africa Podfest was due to take place in Nairobi 12-13 March but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This inspired the organisers to organise a range of panel discussions including this one.
"This session is about radio, which is where on demand audio came from. In light of the growing crossover between radio and podcasting, we envision a tipping point moment where there will be more interest and investment in podcasts than in radio. If podcasting is to fulfill its potential what are the practical considerations with regard to radio’s place in a growing African podcasting ecosystem which we need to address?"
The panelists were:
Kameel Stanley, the senior producer of The City, a podcast from USA TODAY that explores how power works in urban American. Kameel is based in St Louis, Missouri
Shandukani Mulaudzi, Executive Producer of Podcasts, Children’s Radio Foundation
Paula Rogo, Co-founder of Africa Podfest and owner of Kali Media. She hosts her own podcast on women and entrepreneurship in E. Africa titled, “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.”
Thanks to the Africa Podfest organisers Paula Rogo, Josephine Karianjahi and Melissa Mbugua for all their hard work. And thanks to the panelists for a great discussion
