On Africa Podcast Day on February 12, Africanews will launch Cry Like a Boy, the channel’s first original podcast produced in collaboration with Euronews. With this project we will explore the pressures linked to being a man in Africa and take a look at how men are changing themselves and their communities for the better.
Africa Podcast Day by Africa Podfest was created for the region s podcasting leaders to gather, share knowledge and connect with African and international partners.
#AfricaPodcastDay was started to shed light on a growing community of podcasters in Africa, which is historically a continent whose population is collectively a big consumer of audio content with radio being the most widely-consumed media.

Podcasters, listeners and the greater audio community will come together to celebrate all podcasts on Friday, February 12.
Africa Podcast Day recognises the growth of podcasting on the continent. And the half-day virtual celebration aims to spark connections and acknowledge people’s contributions to both the continental and international podcasting arena.
Under the theme “We are proud to be here!” the celebration will kick off at 7am followed by the official opening of Africa Podfest which will commemorate the day through a four-hour virtual gathering that starts at 11am.
