What's going on in Nigeria? With Tony (Tony Doe) Onwuchekwa

Episode Notes

In this episode of The Global Podscape, I speak with Tony (Tony Doe) Onwuchekwa about the current state of podcasting in Nigeria and the broader African audio ecosystem.

We explore how podcasting is growing across Nigeria, the role platforms like Spotify and YouTube play in distribution and discovery, and why monetization remains one of the biggest challenges for creators in the region. Tony also shares insights into audience behavior, local content trends, and what makes the Nigerian market different from podcast ecosystems in Latin America, Europe, and the U.S.

We also discuss:

• The rise of video-first podcast consumption
• How creators are building communities and businesses
• The opportunities for international brands entering African podcasting
• Why Nigeria could become one of the most important podcast markets globally
