    Love from The Bahamas
    I’m so happy I came across this podcast. I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve been experiencing this strong desire to learn more about the African continent and visit. Being a part of the diaspora, this podcast has provided great insight on the current and future development in the African tech space.

  • Mochievous
    Love the perspective!
    The hosts bring a perspective that you don’t find on tech in Africa. Planned to listen to one episode but ended up binging on (I’m almost ashamed to say how many lol). Excited to see how this podcast evolves
  • Shruthi - Food Systems Expert
    Unique Perspective on Africa Tech & Business!
    Bankole and Olumide present highly interesting, bite-sized, thoughtful perspectives on various aspects of African technology and business. Their views on growth and opportunities for investors are unparalleled - not to mention, these guys are entertaining and share a great rapport. So you never realize how time passes. Great job, you two!!
  • DamisolaA
    A favorite
    Honestly one of my favorite podcasts. For a self proclaimed tech skeptic, I appreciate the fact that the presenters do not simply praise tech innovation in Africa but adequately critique business models & even the technology itself. Highly recommended.
  • Bodwiser

    Fresh!
    I listen to this podcast to learn new ideas about African tech or to update my current ones. It’s well-researched and goes beyond first-order thinking.
  • Haksbond
    AMAZING!
