Podcast SEO feels broken, right?
Especially if you're an African creator trying to grow a show on your own terms.

– And what needs to change at the platform level
If you care about building a podcast audience without burning your energy on ineffective hacks, this is worth your time.

Not every podcast needs polish.
Not every podcast should follow the Western script.
In this week’s issue of Into The Podverse, we explore what makes African podcasts powerful because they’re different:

A young Nigerian radio presenter cries out in frustration about poor studio infrastructure, no internet, no call lines, and no support. This reflects a broader problem across many stations trapped in outdated systems.
