    TalkCentral: Ep 109 – ‘Radio, reinvented’

    TalkCentral-640

    This episode of TalkCentral coincides with the fifth anniversary of TechCentral. But there’s little time for reminiscing as your hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg dive into the highlights of a busy technology news week in South Africa.

    First up on the agenda this week is the imminent launch of digital radio trials in South Africa by Sentech and various broadcasters. Will you be buying a DAB+ or DRM receiver, or do you already own one? Let us know in the comments section.

    Also on the show this week, your hosts look at Telkom’s annual general meeting of shareholders, Internet service providers’ Parkhurst home fibre pricing and the imminent launch by Times Media Group of the Vidi video-on-demand service.

    Tune in to find out who’s made the cut as winner and loser of the week.

    And, as always, Duncan and Regardt pick their products or apps of the week — Tapiriik (Duncan) and BitTorrent Sync (Regardt).

    Stream the show:

    Alternatively, download TalkCentral: Ep 109 to your computer. Or grab it from Stitcher Smart Radio. Our apologies about the soft background hissing sound towards the end of this week’s show — the fault of an overactive laptop fan.

    The TalkCentral RSS feed is available via Feedburner. Use it to subscribe to the show in your favourite reader. We’d love your feedback on the show — please use the comments box below this article. — (c) 2014 NewsCentral Media
