Host Tony Doe exposes the startling "hierarchy of attention" in platform economics. Why does a single upload of rain sounds earn $18,000 a month while an entire continent of 1.4 billion people is offered a lone $100,000 grant? In this episode of Into The Podverse , we explore the infrastructure gaps, from affordable data to local advertising, that African creators must overcome to thrive. We also give flowers to pioneering podcaster, Fola Folayan , the visionary behind the Radio Masterclass and Minding Your Business Africa , who has been building the pipeline for Nigerian digital audio since 2016. Discover why the future of African podcasting isn't waiting for permission from Big Tech.
