Two years ago, Zanzibar-born author Abdulrazak Gurnah won the Nobel Prize for Literature, one of several Africans to win a literary award within the last decade and over time.
However, there is no widely recognized platform for reviewing these excellent outputs via audio-on-demand. The top 70 book review podcasts list on Feedspot features no African service. This reality is what we seek to change.
Worth Reading Podcast is a passion project created to showcase books by authors of African descent to a wider audience. We disagree with the popular belief that hiding information in a book is the best way to keep Africans out of the loop. We know Africans write and read books. We’re here to spotlight such that are worth reading.
