Africa is a continent, and we’re here to prove it. Join hosts Chinny and Astrid as we uncover key moments in African history that have shaped the continent, one nation at a time. Our episodes are bite-sized, perfect for history lovers and curious minds.
As featured on BBC, The Guardian and proud winners of Independent Podcast of the Year, we're making African history accessible to all.
