The ICT for development community of the Development Gateway has collected a number of links to podcasts in a feature about “Podcast Libraries“. There is a mention of the SIRU (Sistema de información rural urbana) podcast experiment in Cajamarca, a largely rural province in northern Peru. The BBC programme Go Digital recently did an optimistic story on this project a few years ago, but the project never went beyond the pilot stage. There are also links to the OneWorld Radio development news service and AGFAX Radio, a monthly package of programmes featuring interviews about agricultural issues.
The three projects have one thing in common — they see podcasts as first and foremost a way of distributing programming to radio stations for rebroadcast over the air, rather than to individuals with MP3 players, a strategy that surely helps them reach much larger audiences.
