Radio Workshop

Hosted by Lesedi Mogoatlhe, the Radio Workshop is a podcast of the Children’s Radio Foundation. We collaborate with youth reporters and radio stations across Africa to tell stories from places that are often overlooked, in ways that reflect how young people see the continent.

Working with our youth reporters and partner radio stations, we bring you intimate and layered stories from across Africa – showcasing at a local and global level the depth and diversity of what it means to be African, as told by Africans. Whether that means digging into unemployment in South Africa, profiling LGBTQIA+ activists on the frontlines in Zimbabwe, or tracking the rollout of COVID-19 vaccination in Nigeria, each episode of the Radio Workshop brings you new voices and perspectives on African issues of the day. We also produce short series that allow us to dig a bit deeper into any given topic.

With backgrounds in radio journalism, documentary film, music, and creative writing, our team members bring a wealth of expertise to podcast production. We also know that many producers need more skills and production experience, and we embed training and mentoring into all of our work.
