An article on the Science and Development Network (Pod-ready: Podcasting for the developing world) takes another look at podcasting and development, with a focus on the SIRU project by Practical Action (formerly ITDG) in Peru and the e-TukTuk that is part of Sri Lanka’s Kothmale Community radio project. Both of the projects are presented elsewhere on this blog.
The article provides an interesting case for why and how podcasting can contribute to development, but unfortunately we are still waiting for real world examples. The Peruvian project discussed, for example, was piloted in 2006 and doesn’t appear to have been active since then.
