Afripods' innovative broadcast-to-podcast technology revolutionises African broadcasting ​​​​​

In a groundbreaking move that is set to redefine the podcasting landscape in Africa, Afripods, the continent's trailblazing podcast hosting and distribution platform, has emerged from stealth mode after nearly two years of dedicated development. The star of the show? Their game-changing Broadcast-to-Podcast (B2P) technology. This innovation has set the stage for a staggering 895% surge in streaming figures for participating radio stations and networks over the past six months alone.

Afripods' B2P technology is now empowering over 110 radio stations across eight African countries to tap into the podcasting boom. With content spanning more than ten languages, these stations have experienced a remarkable average month-over-month increase of 112% in their streams. But that's not where the story ends. Afripods has grand ambitions, planning to expand B2P into 15 markets and broaden language coverage from 10 to an impressive 20 by the close of 2023.

📈 Riding the Podcasting Wave

As podcast listenership continues its meteoric rise, set to cross the 504.9 million mark by 2024, the global podcasting ad revenue is predicted to skyrocket to a staggering $3.7 billion in the same year. Afripods has conducted proprietary third-party research that underscores the immense potential within Africa's podcasting landscape. A resounding 81% of African radio listeners express a desire for on-demand radio content, while 69% of current listeners are already consuming podcasts. This data, combined with the B2P technology's success, underscores a palpable appetite for on-demand radio content across the continent.

Afripods' visionary strategy has opened up a world of possibilities for publishers. By transforming single-use content into evergreen podcast material, publishers can save time, boost profits, and extend their reach. Kevin Y. Brown, Chief Content Officer & Head of Strategy at Afripods, shared his insights, stating, "With 70% of sub-Saharan Africa's population under 30, the demand for on-demand content, particularly podcasts, is on a remarkable upswing. B2P is the natural solution, bridging the gap between radio stations and their present and future listeners."
