Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies

Yesterday (24 March 2026) South Africa held its first-ever parliamentary roundtable on podcasting. The Portfolio Committee on Communications & Digital Technologies sat down with legislators, regulators, global platforms, and industry voices to begin mapping the future of a sector that's quietly become an island of economic excellence.

We took the full transcript from the YouTube stream, ran it through AI to extract the key positions, the political signals, the presuppositions, and the implications nobody's talking about yet, and then (obviously) turned the whole thing into an AI-generated conversational deep-dive podcast you can listen to on your commute.

Spoiler: it's not really about regulating podcasters. It's about platforms. And a misinformation bill is already in motion.

Listen: Because you deserve more than a press release.
