Jamillah Knowles | 16:01 UK time, Tuesday, 29 September 2009

This week the podcast comes to you from Bangalore India! It's been great meeting top tech bloggers, IT support workers and those who are hoping to make a change via tech. It's a place of wide scale development and the gap between rich and poor is vast. So, this podcast is a selection of people working in different ways with technology and online media in Bangalore.

If we mentioned a place that you would like to visit online, then you can find all the links right here:

I made contact nice and early with bloggers and who work in the IT support sector. They gave me a warm welcome and we chatted about their life online and here in the city.

When new to a town, it's not a bad idea to get a feeling for your surroundings by talking to a cabbie. Andrew Shanthraj has been driving in Bangalore for decades. He explained how much his city has changed.

While I have been here, Nokia has been launching its Music app. They invited some of Bangalore's top tech bloggers to give it a test run, so naturally it was the place to go and ask them what they get up to in the blogosphere.
