What do a sneaker-shaped coffin, a suspicious cocktail, and a spontaneous live performance have in common? They all happened to me in just two unforgettable days in Accra, Ghana.
In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, we continue our journey through the vibrant capital. I take you to the famous Paa Joe Coffin Works to explore Ghana's incredible tradition of fantasy coffins, and you'll hear how I ended up singing "Danish Man in Accra" in a lively bar after Cynthia ordered a drink with a name that raised more than a few eyebrows.
We also dig deeper into Ghanaian society – from the many government ministries to the challenges of living costs for everyday Ghanaians. Plus, I'll share conversations with locals and some funny moments you won't want to miss.
