Launched in early December 2023, the Africanist Press Podcast aims to give voice to African communities through the production of weekly audio broadcasts that analyzes ongoing events in Africa as part of an effort to contribute to better understanding of key developments in the region.

In the first six months since its launch, the Africanist Press Podcast produced over 30 episodes covering various issues ranging from electoral and political corruption in Sierra Leone, the impact of economic sanctions in Zimbabwe, to the black experience in Britain, and the history of African liberation in the United States and Africa.

With support from Northwestern University’s Program of African Studies (PAS), Africanist Press Podcast has reached listeners in over 70 countries across the world.

In this episode, we provide an overview of the various issues covered by the Africanist Press Podcast in the last six months. We also offer our appreciation to our growing global community of supporters and listeners for their dedicated commitment to our work.
