Baraza Media Lab is excited to be partnering with PRX on a one-of-a-kind podcasting hackathon scheduled to take place in February 2023, as part of the #AfricaMediaFestival. Since our inception, Baraza has focused on podcasting access in Africa, given its growing popularity in the region and its role in information flow and exchange.
