"FIVE STARS. Superlative. If other podcasts were held to the standard established by Radio Africa Online, there could be no other podcasts. It is consistently that good. The dj has a talent for finding and mixing some of the most interesting music that you will ever hear, sing along with or dance to. Do you have speakers and need a party to break out at your location and last until sunup tomorrow? Get this subscription, clear space to dance and turn it up loud. Everything else will happen." -Michael McNicholas, iTunes Store, Nov. 18, 2013
