Denmark3 months ago - Reparations
Generally good show but a stupid recent guest, a black “British” woman asking for reparations, she completely dodged the fact that the Africans themselves enslaved and sold other Africans to the Europeans, we already paid you for the slaves when you sold them to us we’re not paying you again so stop being greedy, it’s not our fault you squandered the wealth, also she had nothing good to say about the UK (she could have mentioned the fact we eradicated slavery, an act which many African people ha... more

United Kingdom7 months ago - Bring back Africa Today
I used to listen daily to Africa Today….it was so informative and I learnt so much about the whole continent. This current format is a real disappointment. It’s a longer version of Africa Daily with Alan Kasujja, and really, he can’t be beat. Go back to Africa Today, and I will listen daily, instead of once in a long while.

United States8 months ago - Please go back to previous Africa today 😭
I’ve listened since 2016, I loved learning about elections and other issues effecting Africans inside Africa. Now the quality and format has completely changed. I stopped subscribing
Apple Podcasts3sciencepyarUnited States9 months ago - Needs revamping, a lot
I loved listening daily to get news, this isn’t really a news show anymore. Also the interviewers cut off people mid sentence, wrap up segments before a salutation, and raise their voices at times with some people that they interview. As a Black American who is interested in what is going on across the globe, this doesn’t provide much substance.
