About this listen

From the heart of Africa, a spellbinding true story of entrepreneurship, media, culture, and tradition all tastefully rolled into one! Absolute Radio is an authentic story of girls and boys who became women and men—and heroes—on the wings of a radio station. Running the course of 25 years, the story comes from the culturally stylish twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana with global footprints.

It is the most tantalizing and groundbreaking body of work about Ghana’s private broadcasting industry. The author, former journalist Phillip Nyakpo, is himself an eyewitness and a participant in these true events.

From his base in Perth, Australia, Phillip interviewed women and men across four continents who made it happen over a quarter of a century.

The result is that he opened up to the world a character and spirit of Africa that is all too often missing.

In telling the story, he writes a compelling narrative that is delicate, witty, eye-opening, and wonderfully inspiring.

absolutely Amazing 👏

One thing I love about the book is how both the older generation and we the young ones 😃 can relate to it. It is more than a story about radio.
The book tells a lot about the people of Ghana, their culture and history and you see a clear picture of the whole nation. If you have to visit Ghana, this book will help you.
The reader has a soothing voice. It is like listening to a good documentary live on radio.
