We’re on the road to #AfricaPodcastDay 2022!

Africa Podcast Day is an annual event which aims to celebrate and appreciate the best of the continent’s podcasting industry. At the heart of Africa Podcast Day is a full-day event called Africa Podfest, a space created by this trailblazing co-founder duo for the region's podcasting pioneers to gather, share knowledge and connect with African and international partners.

From listeners, to podcasters, to the greater audio community, #AfricaPodcastDay was started in recognition of the dazzling growth of podcasting on the continent, which is historically a strong audio continent, with radio presently being the most widely-consumed media.

The Road to Africa Podcast Day 2022 has already begun with The Discovery Tour, in which we are hosted by African podcasters from 4 podcasting communities from across Africa that are putting African podcasting on the global podcasting map. The Discovery Tour is supported by Africa No Filter, Hindenburg Systems, among other partners.

The 2022 edition of #AfricaPodcastDay will be held on Saturday, 12 February 2022, with the occasion’s theme being “Podcasting is Freedom”. Taking place virtually, this is an opportunity to be featured on the official #AfricaPodcastDay 2022 Schedule by curating your own session around this year's theme, exploring what freedom within the African podcasting space means for you, as well as the podcasting community around you.

We are excited to open this application to you and more African podcasters in recognition of the fact that your voice is an integral part of the rising (and thriving) podcast community we’re creating across Africa, and your work in telling and sharing your stories has the invigorating halo effect that make us too immutably proud to be African.

Thinking of having yourself/your pod incorporated into the Africa Podcast Day schedule? Well, there are a number of options available to you, not limited to these, but certainly at your discretion from which to choose. You may:
