n a ground-breaking develop-
ment, rising Pan-African media
platform, Nomad Africa, had just
introduced a newly developed on-
line radio channel called No-
madRadio. This is in addition to
the already well received print and digi-
tal platforms. NomadRadio - a podcast
broadcast platform, is designed to edu-
cate, inform, entertain and above all,
showcase Africa’s culture and its unique
offerings to the world.
The Nomad Africa project is an initiative
born from a passionate desire to dispel
the negative perceptions, which the
world has held of the African continent,
and to replace it with a positive focus. It
aims to foster a strong interest in the
continent's cultural heritage, unique
tourist attractions and countless busi-
ness development and investment op-
portunities, with the millions of people
living in, investigating- or visiting Africa.
The project operates out of Johannes-
burg, South Africa.
Unveiling the new podcast broadcast
platform adds to the overall accessibility
of the 360 degree media house’s serv-
ices and products to businesses in Africa.
“We continue to set high standards with
selective media and communication so-
lutions that will set us apart from the
rest. Our goal is to be Africa’s number
one content provider in the areas of
business, travel, tourism and continu-
ously influence positive perceptions plus
appreciation for the true worth of Africa
worldwide, says John Akinribido, CEO of
2414 Media Group – the company
in charge of the unique project.
The flagship show on the broadcast
platform called ‘Discover Africa’, will be
hosted by veteran broadcaster David
Batzofin - a well-known travel writer,
award winning blogger and photogra-
pher. David will cover the African conti-
nent from Cape to Cairo...or that could
be from Port Elizabeth to Timbuktu. Fo-
cusing on business travel and tourism,
Discover Africa will strive to highlight
current topics as well as destinations
that might be off the beaten track.
The Nomad Africa project involves using
several media platforms to celebrate life
on the African continent and promote
its vibrant pulse at the same time creat-
ing a unique advertising platform for
clients wishing to promote their brand
across Africa. Logon to http://www.nomadra-
