Podcasting in Zimbabwe
Podcasting in Zimbabwe began in 2005 with 'The Shona Podcast' started by Si Brindley (British) and his wife Cecilia (Zimbabwean) because Si wanted to learn the Shona language. However, they did about 11 shows in total over a few months and the last show recorded was on January 20, 2006. There are now quite a few dedicated podcasting entities for the Zimbabwean community in and around Zimbabwe that are strictly into podcasts: Sadza in the Morning (hosted by King Kandoro & Nick Titan, broadcast from Zimbabwe), Two Broke Twimbos(hosted by Phil Chard & Danny That Guy also broadcast from Zimbabwe. A podcast network called Capi26Free houses several podcasts such as Politics and Beyond, Nhai Onai & The Other Guys, Mic Set Match, all of touching on different aspects. Of these, "Sadza in the Morning" is the most popular. The Podcast hosted by Jonathan Mbaya and Simba Tsumba. It covers topics such as toxic relationships, navigating the perils of social media, and taking control of one's mental health. It also features guests that are young Africans around the world who are movers and shakers in their relevant industries; from people in fashion to musicians to unconventional entrepreneurs. The Podcast is available every Thursday at 5 pm Central African Time.
Some Zimbabwean Churches podcast sermons on a regular basis. These include Kingdom People Church in Harare.
The focus of other Zimbabwean podcasters is more musically inclined being about Zimbabwean music.
