SA's first podcast with CarstensMweb Home has teamed-up with Arno Carstens to create SA's first big local music podcast. Published via www.mweb.co.za today (Thursday, 29 September), the podcast will feature an interview with Carstens and previews of selected tracks from his new album, The Hello Goodbye Boys. Podcasting is the latest in online audio technology that allows MP3-enabled web-users to publish and listen to broadcasts via the Internet. Jean Barker, Mweb Home Entertainment Editor says that partnering with South Africa's best-selling solo English rock artist will do a lot to catapult this new virtual practice into mainstream online consumer behaviour locally: "Podcasting creates a digital soap box for anyone who has anything to say as it allows anyone with Internet access, a microphone and audio editing equipment to become a digital DJ by creating a radio show for surfers to download and listen to at will. |
