The transition from live radio show to podcast

We are now well into changes affecting Focus on Africa and its switch to being primarily a podcast with a radio airing later that same day. So how’s it going down with listeners?

We are now well into the second month of changes affecting Focus on Africa and its switch to being primarily a podcast with a repeat radio airing later that same day. So how is it going down with listeners? Is it alienating those of you who do not have access to digital platforms? Does it feel less “live”? Or does the focus on it being a podcast mean it can now attract a wider audience from the African diaspora globally? We speak to the editor of Focus On Africa, Alice Muthengi.
