  Dwarf spheroidal galaxies have long been discussed as optimal targets for
indirect dark matter searches. However, the majority of such studies have been
conducted with gamma-ray instruments. In this review, we discuss the very
recent progress that has been made in radio-based indirect dark matter
searches. We look at existing work on this topic and discuss the future
prospects that motivate continued work in this newly developing field that
promises to become, in the light of the up-coming Square Kilometre Array, a
prominent component of the hunt for dark matter.
