Show overview
Focus on Africa has been publishing since 2016, and across the 10 years since has built a catalogue of 1,046 episodes. That works out to roughly 500 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 23 min and 32 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 196 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 262 episodes published. Published by BBC.
