4 SIERRA LEONEAN PODCASTS YOU SHOULD DISCOVER:

As it is the month of Sierra Leone’s Independence, I will be creating Salone special content, hopefully not only for the month but it’s a good way to start producing regular content about the country I reside in.

In the rise of new media outlets such as video recording and social media, podcasts are currently in a league of their own. They are the new favourite amongst many people, with podcasters and listeners joining the wave daily. The beauty with podcasts is that you can take part in another task whilst engaging with an audio episode of your favourite podcast show. E.g. listen during your commute, your drive, whilst cleaning – you name it! I’ve noted

my favourite podcasts in previous years

, now let me share the podcasts currently in Sierra Leone and by Sierra Leoneans. Here are 4 Sierra Leonean Podcasts you should discover:
