“I used to listen on WDET in Detroit, Michigan in the 1980’s and I’d make cassette tapes to send to my sister in Oklahoma where they had nothing like this. Thanks for making these podcasts so we can listen again!”

“My favorite radio show of all time. Great music from all over the world, wonderful host, erudite contributors. Brings the music, culture, and people of the places visited alive. They actually go to most of the countries whose music they feature, and talk to the musicians and people.”

“Afropop is always great. It introduced me to timeless acts like Fela Kuti (and his sons Femi and Seun) and King Sunny Ade, which are now regular listening. Even the artists further from the western mainstream are fascinating. Every week is great. You'll learn something and expand your tastes with...”Read full review »

“It’s such a pleasure to have Afropop here. I’ve been listening to it for years, on the radio, and it always warms my heart. Now I listen more often via podcast, and I enjoy doing so on the subway, its rolicking rhythms matching those of the train!”
