The objective of The African History Podcast is to bring to the fore African history in an engaging, interesting, and fun manner; while ensuring that all the stories that we tell are well-researched and grounded in fact. The African History Podcast team has a great affinity for the history of Africa. We see a need for bringing African history stories to the attention of ordinary people in Africa, and in the world as a whole.
