“Unfortunately, I don’t come across many history podcasts that cover Africa, so I always cherish the ones I do find and this is one of them. The hosts are very amicable and passionate about covering these stories. They’re usually well researched and knowledgeable as well and since they’re from...”Read full review »

“Your recent episode on French influence on the monetary system of its former colonies in west and central Africa is very poignant. These countries still remain vassals of France after all these decades of “independence”. In west Africa they tried to introduce a new currency - the ECO - to...”Read full review »

“You two are amazing! Your stories are engaging. Your perspective is intriguing (in a good way). And your topics are very enlightening. But most of all, the two of you are great story tellers and you really bring your various topics to life.
Thank you for that.

“This show has taught me so many new things about countries and cultures across Africa, and how diverse each one is with their own traumatic past for which western countries have a lot to answer for. Very important facts about history are raised which need to be discussed more, the informative but...”Read full review »

It feels like witnessing someone mumbling and reading through a presentation with sudden and very loud outbursts of sarcastic ranting. People who listen to this type of podcast all know that...”Read full review »

“I think this could be an amazing podcast but I found some of the episodes quite ill informed and poorly researched. The episode on South Sudan missed out lots of critical information and sadly didn’t acknowledge the nuance of such a complex issue.”

“Unusual approach in that I feel that in many cases I know more about the different nations than they do but it works you feel their shock when they find out about places like Western Sahara. It’s about learning while they learn well done ladies keep it up.”

“These guys are wickedly funny and the podcast is very relevant. The Africa is always described by people as a country without ever exploring the rich history of the many African nations. It’s great to find a podcast that delves into its rich history with wit and intellect!”
