Afropop Worldwide, the Peabody Award-winning program, has been your gateway to the musical cultures of Africa and the African diaspora since 1988. Our weekly, one-hour public radio show, hosted by broadcasting veteran Georges Collinet, brings you stories and sounds that you won't find anywhere else. Distributed by Public Radio Exchange (PRX) to over 100 stations in the U.S., our content is also available via podcast and streaming at our award-winning website www.afropop.org.
2024 marks our 36th year of celebrating the music and stories of Africa and the African diaspora. As one of the longest-running music programs in public radio history, we continue to innovate and connect with audiences worldwide through the internet and social media, and our podcast Planet Afropop, now in its second season.
