In this groundbreaking episode, Jonathan, Tim, and guest researcher Professor Quirijn de Mast explore a landmark clinical trial conducted in partnership with Tanzanian scientists and community members at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). Published in Nature Medicine, the study investigates what happens when people switch between Western-style eating and a traditional diet from the Kilimanjaro region of Northern Tanzania — rich in fermented foods, legumes, ancient grains, and green vegetables. The results? Rapid, measurable changes to immune function, inflammation, and gut health — with powerful implications for global disease risk.We dive into the science behind millet porridge, fermented banana beer, and the fibre-rich meals that Tanzanian communities have eaten for generations. Quirijn shares insights from his 20-year collaboration with local researchers. This episode explores scientific research on traditional East African diets and inflammation, led by Quirijn in close collaboration with Tanzanian scientists and participants. As Western scientists and hosts, we are aware of the need for humility when discussing cultural traditions not our own, and we approach this conversation with respect and curiosity.

Grammy nominated ngoni virtuoso Bassekou Kouyate and his 8 piece band Ngoni Ba wowed the crowd at Lincoln Center in 2011. Ngoni Ba re-wired the ancient ngoni to create a dense, 21st century sound. We'll hear the concert and talk with Bassekou about hunters, his precocious son, and his future plans. We hear a very different take on the ngoni from Sidi Touré who made his U.S. debut at BAM in Brooklyn. Sidi Touré is from the legendary city of Gao in northern Mali, the seat the ancient Songhai empire. Then we go to Egypt to hear how artists from Port Said are making music for instruments that go back to the time of the Pharoahs. [Produced by Sean Barlow. Originally aired 11-09-2011] APWW #626

While the U.S., India, and countries in the Persian Gulf are all moving quickly to establish new critical mineral supply chains, the European Union is struggling to follow suit, particularly in Africa. The EU currently lacks a cohesive policy framework that would bolster mining companies, support partner countries, and encourage the development of a mineral processing sector that can lessen Europe's current dependence on China. To do this, the EU should follow China's model in Africa, where it paired extraction with the development of vital infrastructure, according to a new commentary from the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM). The authors, Poorva Karkare and Karim Karaki, join Eric & Géraud from Brussels to explain why the EU should strive for strategic complementarity rather than competition with China in Africa.

African content is booming on global streaming platforms. But as the industry shifts to appeal to Afropolitan elites and international audiences, who gets left behind? In this episode, Catherine Nzuki is joined by Dr. Wunpini Fatimata Mohammed, assistant professor in the Department of Communication at Cornell University and the author of Afropolitanizing the local: how cultural imperialism is rewriting the narratives of African entertainment industries. They discuss the rise of New Nollywood, the politics of representation, and what's lost when African stories are tailored for a global audience. Her forthcoming book, Media, Culture, and Decolonization: Re-righting the Subaltern Histories of Ghana, is available now for preorder from Rutgers University Press.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by Joe Miles, and we cover a lot of ground—from the whitetail woods to the African bush. Joe and I get into that constant tug-of-war between old-school hunting instincts and the rapid rise of modern gear and technology. We talk about where tradition still matters, where innovation is helping, and how to walk the line between the two without losing your edge. Joe also shares the story of his recent leopard hunt in Africa, and if you've ever wanted a firsthand account of just how unpredictable and intense a hunt like that can be, you'll want to hear this. We dive into what that kind of experience teaches you—not just about hunting, but about patience, respect for the animal, and how little control we actually have when we step into the wild. We also hit on business, teamwork, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can handle adversity—whether that's in the boardroom or fifteen yards from a blind with your heart in your throat. It's a conversation about risk, reward, and the things that keep us coming back to this lifestyle, season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 447 Adaptability is key—hunting strategies must shift with changing conditions. Cell cams and tech are tools, not crutches, when used with discipline. Old-school woodsmanship still matters in a high-tech world. Evolving gear can boost success but doesn't replace skill or instinct. Every terrain brings new challenges—African leopard hunts included. Wildlife is unpredictable, and that's what makes the chase worth it.

There's something truly transformative about stepping away from your day-to-day life and immersing yourself in a retreat experience. Whether it's a journey to a new destination or a space for intentional reflection, retreats offer the opportunity to reconnect with your inner self, gain clarity, and ignite growth. They are designed not just for rest, but for reawakening—a sacred pause that can lead to powerful shifts in perspective. More than just a getaway, retreats are a return to what matters most. In today's episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I'm joined by writer, artist, and transformational retreat leader Lisa Dunford Dickman. Lisa shares her powerful journey from travel writer to coach and reveals how her love of adventure led her to create life-changing retreat experiences—most especially in Africa.

In this powerful episode we sit down with Michael Mmunthali from Malawi, to explore the often-unspoken realities of divorce for men in African cultures. Michael shares his personal journey through heartbreak, cultural stigma, and healing—and how faith, identity, and community shaped his recovery. We will discuss the differences between divorce in the U.S. and Africa, the silence surrounding men's emotional pain, and how the global church can better support men walking through the aftermath of divorce.Bible Passage Inspiration: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (NIV)Resources: www.MensDivorceRecovery.org See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. David J. Johns examines what July 4th truly means for Black Americans in 2025. Drawing from Frederick Douglass's historic speech, Dr. Johns exposes how we're living under a "tyranny of the minority" where democratic institutions suppress the people's will. From the erasure of 2020's racial reckoning to nationwide Juneteenth cancellations, this episode reveals how performative allyship crumbles when real commitment is required. Dr. Johns calls for collective liberation rooted in African ways of community building, emphasizing that our freedom has always come from organized power, not appeals to oppressors.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

In this week's podcast, we shine a light on the humans behind the sanctuary—especially co-founders Kat and Scott—to find out what they actually do all day. You might be surprised to learn that direct elephant care isn't the main part of their daily routine. A large portion of their work involves managing staff in both Brazil and the U.S., juggling logistics, and overseeing projects across multiple time zones.Kat and Scott also talk about their current projects and how their decades of expertise in captive elephant husbandry have made them sought-after consultants. Despite the heavy workload and immense responsibility of running a sanctuary, neither would have it any other way.And soon, the winner (and guest) of our virtual auction sweepstakes will get the chance to see it all firsthand during their upcoming visit to the sanctuary.Please note that this podcast was recorded before Tamy's passing.The episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants.

In this episode, we explore the remarkable life and legacy of F. Grace Allen, a little-known but deeply influential Free Methodist global worker who spent 53 years serving in Southern Africa. Born in 1864 to a devout Methodist family, Grace's calling to the mission field led her to Portuguese East Africa and later to Fairview Mission Station in South Africa, where she built a home and school for marginalized girls. Through decades of hardship, cultural challenges, and personal sacrifice, she nurtured and educated generations of African children, many of whom became pastors, teachers, and leaders. With heartfelt stories drawn from archival research, we reflect on Grace's deep faith, her pioneering spirit, and the enduring impact of her humble, behind-the-scenes service—reminding us that legacy often grows quietly through a life poured out in love.Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Velvet Ashes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Velvet Ashes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Featured music is "Daughters and Sons" by Eine Blume.

Across the moonlit savannas and highland forests of Africa, where shadows dance between acacia trees and ancient stone outcropping, a sound pierces the darkness that chills even the bravest hunter's blood: the maniacal laughter that signals the approach of something far more terrifying than any natural predator—creatures that walk as men by day but hunt as demons when darkness falls, their jaws crushing bone and sinew while their human eyes gleam with inhuman hunger.

Part A of a two-sided mix from two Nyege Nyege all-stars. Nyege Nyege is synonymous with radical sonic innovation. Since 2015, the boundary-pushing Ugandan festival and its associated label have become a vital hub for adventurous, experimental sounds emerging from East Africa and beyond. Its alumni roster includes some of the past decade's most thrilling and forward-thinking artists—DJ Travella, Nihiloxica, MC Yallah, and even New York's newly-elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani. In the process, the collective has reimagined what club music can be. Kampala-based Kampire has been a core member of the collective since the label's inception. Her mixes often feel like a lesson in musicology: weaving together narratives, tempos and genres while losing nothing in dance floor vitality. These talents are reflected in her contribution to RA.995. A typically kaleidoscopic blend of tough percussive workouts, infectious edits and raw, unreleased gems, the hour-long mix spans batida, singeli, bruxaria and countless more urgent sounds from the global underground. Then there's the enigmatic DJ TOBZY. At the tender age of 23, he's at the forefront of the effervescent cruise scene in his adopted hometown of Lagos. Breakneck, unpolished and fiercely DIY, it's a sound Giulio Pecci described as "a delirious blur of vocals and drums, influenced by other African dance music styles but moving only to its own strange, internal logic." TOBZY's mix captures the frenetic energy of a scene evolving in real time. Presented together, as the first edition of a new format marking the countdown to RA.1000, this mix offers a bracing snapshot of a label that has redefined electronic music over the last decade.

Episode 229 - Moshoeshoe and the Red Dust, How War and famine led to British rule in Lesotho - we're speeding up on the trek along history's trail. First, a word about the Boer Basotho War of 1865-1868. The 1850s and 1860s marked a period of profound demographic disruption for the Basotho as the borders of Moshoeshoe the First's kingdom shifted repeatedly under pressure from colonial conflict and Boer expansion, waves of refugees poured both in and out of the territory. By 1865, the population of what is now Lesotho was estimated at 180,000 which was a sharp increase from five years earlier. Then drought and a three year war against the Boers of the Free State had induced famine by 1868, and Moshoeshoe the First was running out of options as some of his people left the region. The war had created an immediate famine condition, exacerbated by the drought, and this had a knock-on effect when it came to politics and human migration. After the territorial competition between the BaSotho and their African neighbours subsided to some extent as the Basotho emerged as a nation, the struggle against the Boers of the Free State gained momentum. Growth in the economies of both the Free State and Basotho had produced an ongoing competition for land and when drought struck, it stimulated violence. It's important to stress how the Free State economy had shifted from herding cattle to sheep — mainly as a result of Great Britain's demand for wool. The Boers regarded the English as an oppressive occupying force, but that didn't stop farmers of the Free State making a buck off the empire when they could. This is reflected in trade data - in 1852 exports from the Orange River Sovereignty to Natal, the Cape and England totalled 256 000 pounds, with wool making up 230 000 pounds of that trade. In a census of 1856, Boers had 1.2 million sheep and goats, and only 137 000 head of cattle. But the golden years of wool exports were over by the mid-1860s. The terrible droughts of 1860 and 1861 were known as the Red Dust when the Caledon River dried up for the only time in anyone's memory. If you want the full background, I covered the outbreak of the Boer Basotho war of 1865 in an earlier episode, along with the causes. The drought, and the scorched earth policy adopted by Free State president Johannes Brand, left Moshoeshoe with little choice. He could either surrender and be known as the Basotho King who gave away his people to the Boers, or he could ask the British to declare Basotholand a British Protectorate. Some have said cynically that the British were entertaining this anyway, hungry for more land and even more so after the discovery of diamonds — but that's tautological when it comes to Basotholand. The diamond discovery took place after Basotholand was folded into the British empire. Still, we need to burrow into how this all worked out, the diplomacy and wheeler-dealing was extraordinary. By the end of 1867 the successes of the Boer commandos in their raids into Basotholand had put an end to the prospect that the Free State burghers would voluntarily submit to the reimposition of British control. Eugene Casalis, the French missionary who had spent so much time in Basotholand, sailed to England from France to urge the British Government to intervene. This was not a lightweight ecclesiastical mission, Casalis had established a mission station at Morija at the foot of Moshoeshoe's royal mountain Thaba Bosiu in 1833. He translated the gospel of Mark into isiSotho, and was revered for his political advice to Moshoeshoe. The Duke of Buckingham who had succeeded Lord Carnarvon as Colonial Secretary in March 1867, was all ears. They say timing matters, and it so happened that CB Adderley who was parliamentary Under-Secretary was in favour of intervention provided it could be managed without expense. IE, without sending an army to fight the Boers. On the 9th December, Buckingham instructed Wodehouse to treat with Moshoeshoe.

Meningitis remains a major global health threat, with an estimated 2.5 million cases each year; of these, one in six results in death and one in five in long-term disabilities. Although meningitis “can strike anyone, anywhere in the world,” outbreaks disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries, where diagnostic and treatment resources are limited. In efforts to address this, WHO launched its first-ever guideline on meningitis diagnosis and management in April this year. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Emily McDonald and Marc Bonten are joined by two experts directly involved in creating the guideline, Lorenzo Pezzoli and Nicolò Binello (WHO), as well as Jacob Bodilsen (Aalborg University), clinician-researcher and Chair of ESCMID's Study Group for Infectious Diseases of the Brain (ESGIB). The guests offer a firsthand look behind the guideline's development, review key recommendations for diagnosis and treatment - including the use of lumbar puncture, antibiotics, and chemoprophylaxis – and discuss how these fit into various clinical settings. This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Ljiljana Lukić of University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia.

6.27.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Birthright Ruling, Crockett vs MAGA, Moral Monday preview, Trump disrespects African reporter The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in the birthright citizenship case, which limits the ability of federal judges to impose nationwide injunctions. We will examine how this decision affects our freedoms. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is here to discuss Iran, immigration, and MAGA's attempt to dismantle democracy. Dr. William Barber will provide a preview of the Moral Monday March to the nation's capital, where protesters will gather against Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." After top diplomats from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo signed a peace agreement to address the ongoing war in eastern Congo, and in an underhanded slight, Trump tells an African reporter, "now you can go back to where you belong." We'll show you how this situation unfolded. And the R&B community mourns the loss of another legend. Walter Scott, a founding member of The Whispers, has passed away. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Have you ever looked at a lake and thought, "Wow, this place is peaceful and calm"? Most of us do. Lakes are usually relaxing spots for swimming, fishing, or just enjoying the view.

That lake is called Lake Nyos, and its mysterious disaster puzzled scientists for years. What happened at Lake Nyos? Why did a lake that looked so quiet and beautiful suddenly become so deadly? And how can we stop something like this from happening again?

AS FRANK AMODEO met with President George W. Bush at the White House to discuss NATO operations in Afghanistan, no one knew that he'd already embezzled nearly $200 million from the federal government—money he intended to use to bank roll his plan to take over the world.From Amodeo's global headquarters in the shadow of Florida's Disney World, with a nearly inexhaustible supply of the Internal Revenue Service's funds, Amodeo acquired multiple businesses and amassed a mega corporate-conglomerate. Driven by his delusions of world conquest, he negotiated the purchase of a squadron of American fighter jets and the controlling interest in a former Soviet ICBM factory. He began building the largest private militia on the planet—over one million Africans strong. Simultaneously, Amodeo hired an international black-ops force to orchestrate a coup in the Congo, while plotting to take over several small eastern European countries.The most disturbing part of it all is, had the U.S. government not thwarted his plans, Amodeo might have just pulled it off.Buy The Book: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Insanity-Bizarre-Megalomaniacs-Domination/dp/B08KFYXKK8Follow me on all socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidetruecrime/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matthewcoxtruecrimeDo you want to be a guest?

As we approach the tenth anniversary of the date that Cecil the lion was lured out of the protected area and wounded with an arrow, so that an American recreational big-game trophy hunter could then track the wounded majestic 13-year-old African lion (who lived in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe) and murder him on July 1st, 2015. Animal activist and best selling author, Eduardo Goncalves, continues his fight to ban trophy hunting with appearances, interviews and three new books. There is just to much disturbing information collected by best selling author, Eduardo Goncalves, to cover in just one book. So, the publisher decided to create a trophy hunters trilogy of books.  So, the publisher repackaged the material into a trilogy - “Twenty Elephants in Seventy-Five Minutes," “Shoot One Lion – Get One Free” & “Mainlining on Heroin.” Eduardo Gonçalves has been a speech-writer for British politicians, run a government department in the Middle East, and helped save the world's most endangered big cat – the Iberian Lynx – from extinction. A former journalist with the BBC, he exposed a major nuclear accident cover-up and secret human radiation experiments. He's a conservationist who has advised the World Wildlife Fund, and has worked with homelessness charities on both sides of the Atlantic. He recently led a major undercover operation to break up Europe's largest dogfighting crime syndicate, and rescued a tiger cub that was about to be shot by a trophy hunter in an enclosure. Despite a serious illness which has led him to become disabled, he has set up an international campaign to stop trophy hunting of wildlife. His work is supported by some of the world's biggest stars as well as leading conservationists and African politicians.     Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Ghana is a medium-sized country in terms of both population and area, but for West Africa, it has multiple distinctions and firsts which set it apart from the rest of the region.  Its course since independence has taken it down a path that in some ways has been very similar to other African countries, and in other ways very different.  Learn more about Ghana and what makes it unique on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. ***5th Anniversary Celebration RSVP*** Sponsors Newspapers.com Get 20% off your subscription to Newspapers.com Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

This program ventures into corners of Africa we rarely hear from, guided by adventurous field recordists and crate diggers. The Zomba Prison Project is a set of recordings by inmates at a maximum security prison in Malawi, one of the poorest nations on earth. The project's debut CD was nominated for a Grammy Award. Here, we speak with the producer, Ian Brennan, and hear tracks from a volume of soulful, even heartbreaking, songs from the prison. We then go back to the 1960s and ‘70s in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso (then Upper Volta) to sample a gorgeous set recordings by Volta Jazz, Dafra Star, Les Imbattables Leopards and more. We hear from Florent Mazzoleni, the author and intrepid vinyl collector behind the new box set, Bobo Yéyé: Belle Époque in Upper Volta. Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #738
