Quick answer

GeraCast is an AI-first podcasting studio — record, transcribe in English and Kiswahili, edit, host, and monetise. Kenya-priced in KSh, subscription paid via M-Pesa, and compliant with the Communications Authority (CA) of Kenya framework for electronic media services.

Regulation: CA, KFCB, and copyright

Podcasts distributed over the internet in Kenya operate under the Kenya Information and Communications Act, overseen by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA). Commercial audio with music or dramatic works also intersects with the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) rules for online content and copyright enforced by the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO). GeraCast surfaces licensed royalty-free music libraries and flags potential copyright risks during editing.
