The Podcast Revolution in Academia (Part 2) Interdisciplinary Lecture Series by Anotida Chikumbu

The Anotida Chikumbu - BOOK SERIES is one of the biggest and longest running interdisciplinary live television podcast show in the academia. The series consists of oral histories, interviews, documentary films, public lectures, roundtable and panel discussions. While the primary focus of the program is African studies, the series also covers subjects on World history. Over 500 established academics, technocrats, government leaders and heads of states have been featured on the program and the channel’s content has attracted over 1 million views and thousands of comments from across all seven continents of the world.
