About Us

At Africa Talks, we focus on analytical, solutions based narrative on news and social issues, drawing focus to under-reported stories while providing context and expanding views on widely discussed issues.ย 

Our network is a unique fusion of our broadcasterโ€™s individual skills and approach to journalism; intersectionality, analysis and dialogue, social construct, art and dialogue.

We prioritise feedback and we create an opportunity for open dialogue with our audience by dedicating every third episode to discussing feedback as content. Feedback is received as audio or text message through social media, WhatsApp or email and played or read on the episode. 

Africa Talks is committed to creating an interactive talk radio experience by welcoming guest contributors on each episode. This approach reflects our networkโ€™s primary goal: to foster deeper conversations and listener engagement.
