Listen now
Description
Some have written off radio as media with a sizeable foot in the future, but the Afrobarometer 2020 survey disputes this, saying that radio is still the most powerful source of information, reaching more people than any other medium on the continent and is likely to remain so. With the 10th anniversary of World Radio Day on February 13, #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister talks to well-known DJ and producer at 99FM, Che Ulenga, and Levi Ngarune Katire, station manager at Omaheke (community) radio and Chairperson of the Namibia Community Broadcasters Network about their experience in this medium.
