🎙️ Now Streaming in 69 Countries. The Map Keeps Expanding. Make Your Own Map is now streaming in 69 countries — with people around the world choosing to watch or listen to my podcast. This week, that reach extended to Iran 🇮🇷 and Vietnam 🇻🇳, just days after connecting with listeners in Iraq 🇮🇶. I don’t take that lightly. When I started this podcast, it was about curiosity — asking better questions, sharing real stories, and exploring what it means to build a life with intention. Now those conversations are traveling farther than I ever imagined. Across cultures. Across languages. Across borders. And the more the map expands, the more something becomes clear: We are more alike than we are different. Parents want better lives for their children. We all hope for health, education, connection, laughter, and the chance to grow. That’s what these conversations carry. The map keeps expanding, and so does the conversation. Wherever you are in the world, you’re part of this conversation. 🌍 Watch or listen on @Spotify @AppleMusic @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts , @amazonmusic @audible_com @Audacy @iHeartRadio @YouTube @GoodpodsHQ and wherever you experience podcasts. @JioSaavn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lisaniver.com/makeyourownmap… @afripods @ivoox @Podchaser @gaana #podcast #podcasts

Only podcasters understand certain struggles like recording an entire episode then realising the microphone was muted. What is your funniest or most painful podcaster moment?

Deril has been podcasting from 2018 and the one thing he wished he knew before he started his podcast was how important distribution was to getting the right audience for his podcast. What is the one thing you wish you knew before you started your podcast? Let is know in the comments

Many new podcasters confuse podcast hosting platforms and podcast production tools. Here is the difference. Podcast hosting platforms store your audio files and distribute them to listening platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Production tools help you record and edit your episodes. Afripods is a hosting platform designed for African podcasters, and it also includes a free editor to make production easier. Understanding this difference is the first step in building your podcast.

As @KevinYBrown shared, we are excited for you to soon experience the improvements we have been working on to make Afripods better for both new and existing creators. We are building with you in mind, creating a platform that supports African podcasters at every stage. As we continue to improve and grow, we invite you to be part of this journey. Join Afripods, a podcast hosting platform designed for African creators and host your podcast for FREE as we build and strengthen the African podcasting ecosystem together.

One of the most powerful things about podcasting is community.

From community events to conversations about storytelling, the goal is simple: help African voices reach wider audiences. If you are part of the podcasting ecosystem, you already belong here.

PodConnect is back. For our first session, we will be having a conversation on ownership rights in podcasting. Join us as we explore what creators need to know about protecting their work, from choosing the right hosting platforms to understanding how your IP is used. We will look at these issues from the perspectives of production, hosting platforms and the law. This is a conversation you do not want to miss. Sign up today bit.ly/4bt7QvG

Tag a podcaster who needs to release the episode sitting in their drafts. The hardest part of podcasting can be pressing the publish button. Sometimes a community push is all it takes.
