TSA Playlist, the Radio Show & Podcast
After taking to the airwaves about a year and a half ago, our curated radio show Talent Showcase Africa Playlist, has garnered tremendous success and recognition in its run on Radio Energy, Namibia’s most tuned-in mainstream radio station, providing a unique opportunity to promote emerging African talent.
Africa's music scene is vibrant and diverse, and this radio show undoubtedly provides an opportunity for audiences to discover and appreciate the immense talent that often goes unnoticed.
We have successfully produced and delivered 77 episodes of our syndicated shows with positive responses from listeners across Africa and the diaspora. The concept behind the Talent Showcase Africa Playlist is to bring forth the best and most promising musical talents from across the African continent. We meticulously screen every track to ensure that only the finest music is featured during the one-hour show. Notably, all the artists whose music we showcase are either based in Africa or in the diaspora, making this a truly authentic representation of the tremendous talent the continent has to offer.
Global Radio Syndication
Radio show syndication is an effective way to deliver the music across the African continent, and with it to uplift emerging African talents into mainstream recognition. And so we’re not only keen to partner up with other radio platforms, we’re also interested in working with record labels, and artiste management for signing new talents, and the media for promoting the artists we feature on the show; and last but not least, we want to connect with prospective sponsors for the radio show itself.
What sets Talent Showcase Africa Playlist apart is its accessibility. After it airs, the show is also available as a Podcast for both streaming and downloading, allowing listeners to enjoy it at their convenience. For trade and partnership inquiries you can reach the Talent Showcase Africa team via email, at: Podcast@TalentShowcaseAfrica.com
