New Video Blog: 'What's Up Africa'

The first weekly episode (posted on Fridays) of ‘creative Africa video blog,’ WHAT’S UP AFRICA, was posted online today. It’s the work of Radio Nederlands Worldwide Africa producer, Ikenna Azuike, who also presents. The producers are hyping it as Europe’s first video blog focused on Africa and they promise to bring us “… what’s hip, creative and making the news in Africa.” I like Azuike’s irreverent, humorous style. I am a fan already. Follow them on Twitter and Facebook.–Sean Jacobs
