The Talent Showcase Africa Playlist recently took a four-week break in production to help its mainstream radio partners, Energy100 FM, catch up on new episodes. They paused broadcasting secular music during this time to honor Namibia’s national mourning for its founding father, Sam Nujoma.
After the mourning period concluded, Radio Energy returned to its regular schedule, featuring the TSA Playlist starting from Episode 151 through to Episode 154, the latter airing tonight at 2100 CAT.
Meanwhile, during the downtime, the TSA team has been compiling new episodes and creating a fresh vibe for the show, featuring the intriguing “If you like it, Shazam it!” drop and the all-new Talent Showcase Africa DJ Mix with Daxx Abara, set to debut in episode 155 next Friday, April 4, 2025.
If you can't wait to experience the new show, go right ahead and be the first to stream episode 155 below.
Following three years as a syndicated radio show, Talent Showcase Africa Playlist has introduced its online station, TSA Radio, to reinforce its mission of supporting emerging African artists eager to have their music broadcast on radio.
The soft launch began with an announcement on Instagram on March 14, 2025. “We are thrilled to introduce a 24/7 rotation format that highlights episodes from both the past and present, providing fans and supporters with an ideal radio platform for non-stop sharing and enjoyment," stated Daxx Abara, Chief Radio Content Curator of Talent Showcase Africa, who will unveil the eagerly awaited TSA DJ Mixes with Daxx Abara on April 4, 2025, adding them to the TSA Playlist.
Talent Showcase Africa Playlist Episode 154 Podcast and Radio Show sponsored by Elevation Mall can now be streamed on demand. It will air on numerous radio channels on Friday, 28 February 2025. However, the 1100 CAT slot via ENERGY100 fm will not air due to the mourning period being observed after the death of Namibia’s founding father, Sam Nujoma. As a matter of fact, The TSA Playlist hasn’t aired on Radio Energy for the past two weeks for this reason. The mourning period ends on March 2nd and regular scheduling resumes at Radio Energy on March 3rd. Meanwhile, this Friday, 28th February, Namibia’s Nam Radio Local airs the TSA Playlist at 1800 CAT and repeats it daily. On Nathenje Community Radio in Malawi on Monday at 2100 CAT, and in the USA & Nigeria on Sunday via High-Grade Radio at 1200, Dallas, USA time (see WorldTimeZone), and on CRW Radio, based in the UK, whose purpose is to be a powerful voice for Africa and its diaspora, airs the Talent Showcase Africa Playlist at 1800 GMT every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
