BBC Pidgin Has Launched

Focus on Africa presenter, Peter Okwoche, BBC Pidgin Senior Broadcast Journalist, Ruona Meyer and listener, Michael Ojalatan join Rajan Datar to discuss the merits of the new BBC Pidgin service, which has been launched for just under two weeks. The platform has been met with mixed reaction with critics saying Pidgin is not a proper language, while BBC World Service listeners in West Africa are welcoming the launch.

Also, the series which explores interesting ideas and incredible inventions is coming to an end. But before they go, the team behind 50 Things That Made The Modern Economy is looking for your suggestion for the 51st Thing for a final bonus episode on podcast only.
