Podcast With A Difference - AccraWeDey [Radio]

Whilst doing my regular rounds on the internet, I happen to stumble upon this podcast. I do not know why, but for some strange reason I have never thought of doing a search for podcasts hosted by Ghanaians in Ghana. Don't ask me why. I guess it is one of those things. There must be more other podcasts out there hosted by Ghanaians, I will do a search later, but for now, my attention is drawn to this one - AccraWeDey. 

So, first things first. If you want to listen to AccraWeDey podcast on iPhone [sorry Android users, I am an iPhone geek/fun] the best app for your listening pleasure is Overcast. Just do a search for "AccraWeDey", excluding quotes. I also listen to podcasts frequently on my Macbook and my preferred app for podcasts is Downcast. I have also noted that AccraWeDey podcasts is also available on Soundcloud, however I am not that much of a fan of Soundcloud, so I tend to stay away from it if I can. Oh, and they have a presence on Tumblr and Facebook.


 

What/Who is Accra We Dey? This is what I got from the `About` section on their Facebook page.

We exist to highlight Accra & celebrate the lifestyles of people living in Accra: from music, fashion, art, film and food. #AccraWeDey

I downloaded "S02 EP12 - Eeiii Madam (ft Hassan Salih & Sylvernus Darku)" before heading to the gym this afternoon and listened to 90% of the show there and the rest when I got back home. So far, I love the show. There atmosphere is "chilled and relaxed". The thing that kicks me is the use of broken english... dope! Tell you what, being so far away from Accra/Ghana, yeah 6K miles of it; listening to this podcast this afternoon sort of creates that atmosphere of closeness between me and my Mother land.
