Listen to the end for a special announcement. One year ago, I sat in the living room of my apartment with one of my very good friends to discuss corruption on the african continent. It was a discussion that had happened countless times but the difference was that I recorded it.

In that time people on 6 continents in over 70 different countries have listened 33,500 times to 46 episodes consisting of 27 interviews, 11 news updates, 10 group conversations and dozens of shared stories. I have grown immeseaurably from this one experience, Learning from the perspectives and stories of others has been life changing for me. I am excited by the zeal and passion there is out there for our continent and I am more so excited for the work that is going into turning that passion into positive change in our communities, countries and continent as a whole. In the future, we will be focusing on helping to tell these stories in an even better manner, the pod save africa team will be working to focus in-depth on topics that and stories that are under reported or not spotlighted.
