Podcasts and radio, side by side

South African podcasting grew straight out of radio: many of the shows in this chart are hosted by broadcasters you will also find on our talk radio pages, and several are cut from live shows. If you want something on now rather than on demand, the live station directory is a better starting point.

Chart data comes from the South African Apple Podcasts charts. Episodes play from each show's own public RSS feed — we do not host podcast audio.
