WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD

According to Rudo Manjoro, a consultant at KLA for YouGov Solutions, the popularity of podcasting is increasing not only globally but also in South Africa. The easy accessibility of smartphones and the internet as well as the growing demand for audio content have made podcasts a common source of entertainment, information and learning for many people in South Africa.

PODCAST TIP OF THE DAY
Why Choose Blue Yeti X

The Blue Yeti X is the flagship product of the range. It is a popular choice among Twitch and YouTube streamers due to its superior audio-capturing capabilities and advanced software that eliminates the need for external plugins. It is a USB desktop mic with a few extra features compared to other models in its price range, which is likely why its predecessor, the Yeti, is so popular among home recording enthusiasts.
