Exciting news from Recharged 📢
Tech Things #23
It’s time to finally introduce a new extension of Recharged - the podcast. Titled Recharged in 30, it will be South Africa’s first weekly consumer tech podcast that will help you live your best digital life and make better tech buying decisions. None of this would be possible without our title sponsor, Naked - Instant, online insurance for your car, home and things. Naked Financial Technology is an authorised FSP.
I’m excited to introduce my lovely co-host, friend in media and actual friend, Samina Anwary, who has worked for newsrooms and NGOs in the past 15 years creating compelling content and engaging audiences. Combined with my experience of reviewing products and answering readers’ questions [and Samina’s!] over the years, those answers will now have a permanent home. You can find the launch trailer here to subscribe; our first episode goes live on 4 June.
Recharged in 30 has been a long time coming; the branding was created in June 2023 when the site went live, and our sponsorship was a done deal early this year. We’ve been sitting on this info for months! If you want to read more about the journey, why 30, etc, visit Recharged.co.za/podcast - it also has links for Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and the RSS feed to add to your favourite podcasting app.
