Call for LGBTQIA+ Youth Stories in Africa

Call for LGBTQIA+ Youth Stories in Africa


Radio Workshop is taking pitches in English for the next series of stories from African audio producers who have a story that explores the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth anywhere on the continent.

Radio Workshop is an award-winning documentary-style podcast with a strong focus on youth in Africa. They are committed to working with and training youth reporters between the ages of 18 and 35. They also partner with more seasoned reporters who have a story that centres the voices of youth.

The editorial process is fully remote. You will be working with a team based all over the world. They strongly believe storytellers deserve to be compensated fairly. You will be paid for the story and any expenses incurred. The exact fee is based on the nature, length, and complexity of the finished piece.

They are open to working with new and seasoned audio producers who can conduct in-person reporting. They are also keen to work with filmmakers, documentary-makers, anthropologists, sociologists, activists, artists, and anyone who can and wants to make an audio story.
