“Great podcast. I'm kindda hooked as I'm a tech evangelist in Nigeria. However, there's the need to correct the name of the Chief of Staff to the Preaident of Nigeria. Your presenter say Abraham Gambari. The first name is actually Ibrahim. Pronounced Eee-bra-heem.”Read full review »

“Great information and both Eric and Cobus are excellent. The only problem is that some of their Chinese presenters are subpar. I don't fault the podcast for this however, as they get good speakers from Africa. Oftentimes the Chinese that they interview sound like they are reading from a CCP...”Read full review »

“I like the content and I really like Cobus (Kobus?) van Staden. He's smart and reasonable. But Eric Olander is so freaking annoying. He's often casually racist towards his non-white guests. He's often really rude to the African guests in a way that he never is towards white guests. Maybe he...”Read full review »
