Afropop Worldwide - Podcast Rankings and reviews

There's clearly a reason why this program has been on the air for over 20+ years. Invaluable programming that features some of the best radio journalism that you can find out there. Their coverage of not only the music of Africa and the African diaspora but the cultures, histories, and people that a part of these stories and scenes is top-notch and rivaled by no one. And the way Afropop Worldwide takes big subjects and churns them out in a digestible, entertaining but also highly informative and insightful manner is truly unique.

In many ways, Afropop Worldwide sets a standard both journalistically and for public radio that all other types of media outlets should aspire to reach.

A thousand stars!

My favorite radio show of all time. Great music from all over the world, wonderful host, erudite contributors. Brings the music, culture, and people of the places visited alive. They actually go to most of the countries whose music they feature, and talk to the musicians and people.

Captivating narration, wonderful editing, and intensive research, Afropop worldwide is my favorite podcast combining political and social history with music history. I have learnt so much from you all over the years all while discovering great music. Your episode on music from Mauritius is my favorite. Keep them coming! Signed, listener from India.

Have been waiting for this. Great music, great feature stories, music unavailable via podcast (which means, effectively, to me, didn’t exist) until now. Subscribed, oh yes!
