Badilisha Poetry Radio uniquely focuses on podcasts by poets from South Africa, the African Continent and its Diaspora. Featuring a vast spectrum of voices and poetic genre via weekly podcasts, this online platform creates a dynamic space in which to appreciate, celebrate and discover contemporary African poetry. Since November 2009 all the poets featured at our Badilisiha Live events can also be heard on Badilisha Poetry Radio as poetry reading podcasts available to download. Through our Conversations blog we invite you to share your views, offer feedback and participate in relevant ongoing poetry-related discussions.
Badilisha Poetry Radio podcasts are presented by South African performance poet and writer Malika Ndlovu and will also be featuring guest presenters on a regular basis, the first of these being award-winning performance poet and actress Mbali Vilakazi. We welcome your recommendations of other Pan-African poets not yet featured and your own recorded poetry submissions, submit them here.
