South African Podcasters Guild How to make a podcast in South Africa

Create self-guided audio tours on VoiceMap as a side-hustle, with Iain Manley

--:--
"Experience the magic of VoiceMap’s GPS audio walks, cycles, drives and even boat rides. They’re like podcasts that move with you, to tell stories about what you’re seeing right now."
Iain Manley has been developing, growing, and working on VoiceMap for ten years now, and 2024 is turning out to be a big year for this South African startup. They're seeing big growth and selling lots of tours.

I bring VoiceMap to the attention of SAPG members because if you're someone who loves to travel, write engaging scripts, and produce immersive audio, VoiceMap could be your dream side hustle.

Listening notes: This was a very relaxed conversation and both Iain and I speak pretty slowly in this episode, so feel free to rev us up to 1.5x or even 2x if you're feeling saucy!
