Podcasting has taken root in Africa with many people joining the foray as podcasters and even more tuning in as listeners. Its economic potential is promising as the number of people active online and hungry for content is increasing. However, for podcasting to realize its potential, it will need to make economic sense. How should the pioneers in African podcasting make their projects sustainable? What are opportunities to increase the flow of funding? Is this the right time for a new media business model in Africa?
