		<link>https://iono.fm/e/679069</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/679069</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the podcast, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg take to YouTube for their first-ever live video discussion to talk about Samsung's breaking Galaxy Fold smartphone.<br />
What do Samsung's problems mean for the future of foldable phones - and will anyone buy a Fold in light of the problems experienced by early reviewers?<br />
Also on the show this week, there's plenty of news in the world of consoles; BBM is dead; and Apple and Qualcomm smoke the peace pipe.<br />
Listen to the show to find out who's been picked as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Duncan's technology pick is the Sony WH-1000XM3 over-ear Bluetooth headphones, while Regardt doesn't have a pick this week.<br />
WhatsApp the show on 0719991111 - voice notes may be used on air.<br />
Apologies for the slightly poorer audio quality in this week's episode - it will be back to normal in our next show. <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the podcast this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg unpack the soap opera that is the fight between Vodacom and its former employee, Nkosana Makate, over the "please call me" service.<br />
What's the background to the dispute? Why has Makate rejected Vodacom's offer, which, according to reports, is substantial? Who really invented "please call me", MTN or Vodacom? And where is the dispute going next?<br />
Also this week, Apple shows who's the boss by getting aggressive with Facebook and Google; Spotify is getting serious about podcasting; and two hacker groups may alone have been responsible for stealing US$1-billion in cryptocurrencies.<br />
Regardt's pick this week is Alienware's AW2518HF monitor, while Duncan doesn't have a pick this week.<br />
This week's song pick is Jet, by Paul McCartney and Wings.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[On TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg unpacks Naspers's decision to unbundle MultiChoice to shareholders and list it on the JSE. What does this mean for the future of the pay-television operator?<br />

Listen to the show to find out who's been picked as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Regardt's pick this week is the battle royale game Scum, while Duncan has chosen (the not new but still very good) game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[In the TalkCentral podcast this week, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg unpack the big Apple keynote, when the world's most valuable company revealed the new iPhones and a new Watch.<br />
Their verdict? The new iPhones aren't terribly exciting (over last year's iPhone X), but the Watch is starting to look very exciting indeed from a health-monitoring perspective.<br />
Also on the show this week, looming job cuts at the SABC (and why the public broadcaster is starting to look exciting again) and MTN launched voice over LTE (what took it so long?).<br />
Listen to the show to find out who's been picked as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Regardt's pick this week is the Razer Gaming Phone, while Duncan has chosen ourworldindata.org.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[In the podcast this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about rumours of a new foldable Samsung flagship smartphone and the growing importance of WhatsApp as a communications platform in South Africa.<br />
Also in the show, they chat about a new Apple patent that suggests your MacBook may in future charge your iPhone or Watch. Plus: the impending launch of Samsung Pay tap-and-go payments in South Africa.<br />
And there's a discussion on mirrorless vs single-lens reflex cameras - and photography more broadly.<br />
Listen to the show to find out who's been named as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Regardt has two picks this week, the Fujifilm X-H1 mirrorless camera and the new Lego store in Sandton, while Duncan has chosen a bundle of four photography video books by Chelsea and Tony Northrup.<br />

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/576651</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/576651</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[On TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about the week's big technology news - with a South African flavour.<br />
On the menu, a new submarine cable system - the first to cross the southern Atlantic Ocean - is going live soon. What does the South Atlantic Cable System, or Sacs, mean for broadband prices and Internet latency?<br />
Also this week, the newspaper formerly known as The New Age has closed down - is Mzwanele Manyi's 24-hour news channel next?<br />
Plus, Duncan talks about communications minister Nomvula Mokonyane's big press conference on the SABC and digital terrestrial television, while Regardt chats about a new "secret" and "pocketable" Surface computer that may or may not be coming from Microsoft (we hope it does see the light of day).<br />
Listen to the show to find out who's been picked as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Regardt's pick this week is PinballFundi.com, while Duncan has chosen EarTrumpet for Windows.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[On TalkCentral this week, your regular show hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg are joined by former Cell C CEO Lars Reichelt all the way from Switzerland to talk about the week's big technology news.<br />
In the podcast, Lars talks about what he's been up to since leaving Cell C in 2011 and provides his (now outsider) views on what has been happening in South Africa politically and on the country's telecommunications industry specifically.<br />
In this week's show, the trio speak about Liberty's cyberattack, the ongoing "best network" fight between MTN and Vodacom, the return of load shedding and the expiry of net neutrality rules in the US.<br />
Listen to the podcast to find out who has been selected as winner and loser of the week.<br />
Regardt's pick this week is the Lenovo Legion Y720 gaming laptop, Duncan has chosen Easy Voice Recorder Pro for Android and Lars's pick is the DJI Mavick Air drone (perfect for flying in the Swiss Alps).<br />

In the podcast, Lars talks about what he's been up to since leaving Cell C in 2011 and provides his (now outsider) views on what has been happening in South Africa politically and on the country's telecommunications industry specifically.
In this week's show, the trio speak about Liberty's cyberattack, the ongoing "best network" fight between MTN and Vodacom, the return of load shedding and the expiry of net neutrality rules in the US.
Listen to the podcast to find out who has been selected as winner and loser of the week.
Regardt's pick this week is the Lenovo Legion Y720 gaming laptop, Duncan has chosen Easy Voice Recorder Pro for Android and Lars's pick is the DJI Mavick Air drone (perfect for flying in the Swiss Alps).
If you have any feedback on the show or any questions you'd like to ask the presenters, please send a WhatsApp voice note to 0719991111.]]></itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[On TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg discuss Jacob Zuma's resignation and the possibility of a major overhaul of the departments that set policy for the ICT sector.
A re-merger of the departments of communications and telecommunications & postal services may be on the cards. Who might be the political head of this new ICT ministry?
Also this week, Standard Bank appears to be building a mobile virtual network operator, Google expands ad-blocking in Chrome (and why it's a good thing) and why crypto miners are undermining the search for aliens.
Listen to the show to find out who's been named winner and loser of the week.
Duncan's pick this week is mechanical keyboards, and specifically the Corsair K95 Platinum, while Regardt has chosen Kingdom Rush for Android and iOS.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of TalkCentral, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about the controversy surrounding MultiChoice's channel supply deals with the SABC and ANN7.<br />
Also this week, communications regulator Icasa wants data to expire after a minimum of three years -- what does this mean? -- and we ask: was Black Friday a waste of time?<br />
On the agenda, too, is bitcoin hitting US$10 000. Plus, a quick look at the Electronic Communications Amendment Bill.<br />
Download or stream the show to find out why WumDrop is our winner this week and why Takealot is our loser (it's not hard to guess why).<br />
Regardt's pick this week is Litratorch, while Duncan has two picks: Flightradar24 and Party Hard. <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>

		<title>TalkCentral: Ep 189 - 'Vumatel's township game changer'</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/470054</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/470054</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[There's one story dominating the podcast this week: TechCentral's exclusive story about Vumatel's plan to offer uncapped 100Mbit/s fibre to township residents for R89/month, starting in Alexandra in Johannesburg. If Vumatel gets it right - and its models show it's likely to work - the audacious plan could transform township economies in South Africa. Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg talk in detail about the plan, with fresh insights from TechCentral's Friday interview with Vumatel CEO Niel Schoeman. Also this week, Vodacom's weird free data offers and communications regulator Icasa versus Cell C. Duncan's pick this week is Ada for iOS and Android, while Regardt has chosen custom Lego mini figures from mini-me.co.za. Listen to the podcast to find out who the team has chosen as winner and loser of the week. <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We're at Mediatech Africa 2017 for this edition of the TalkCentral podcast. Show regulars Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg are joined by "Mr Mediatech" Simon Robinson to chat about the event, as well as all the week's biggest technology news. On the podcast this week, the US$20 4G phone, and why it's potentially a very big deal. Also this week, Vodacom's impressive first-quarter financial results and Openserve slashes wholesale ADSL and fibre prices. Plus, are you brave enough to be one of the first to hitch a ride on Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy? Regardt's pick this week is Mozilla's Project Common Voice, while Simon has again chosen BlackTrax (on display at Mediatech) and Duncan's pick is Justice Malala's Burning Platform podcast on CliffCentral. Stream or download the podcast to find out who's been chosen as winner and loser of the week. <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>

		<title>TalkCentral: Ep 183 - 'Crisis at SAP'</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/452101</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/452101</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[On TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg dissect the crisis facing SAP in South Africa and analyse how it's managed things so far (short version: not terribly well). Also this week, why a merger of Sentech and Broadband Infraco is a bad idea, views on the CSIR conducting a spectrum audit for the wholesale open-access network and Sat-3 goes down (and no one really notices). Plus, someone has invented a battery-free phone - could this be true? Stream or download the episode to find out who is named winner and loser of the week. Regardt's tech pick this week is Amarillo home security cameras, while Duncan doesn't have a pick (but promises to return with one next week). <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>

		<title>Why IS is buying MWeb, with Saki Missaikos</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/364434</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/364434</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod sat down with Internet Solutions MD Saki Missaikos to find out why his company is buying MWeb Connect and getting into the retail ISP market, especially in light of the fact that it seems to depart from IS's historical focus on the business market. Duncan asked Saki about whether this represents a bigger retail play for IS in the future, and how (or if) IS plans to integrate MWeb into its business. He also asked him about the ICT policy white paper and what it means for IS and for the industry more broadly. <a href="http://www.techcentral.co.za/category/podcasts/talkcentral-podcasts/">Podcast website</a>]]></description>
