“Inquiry is a lively interactive show designed to provide a forum to discuss the many day-to-day interests of VOA’s African audience,” said English to Africa Service Chief Sonya Laurence Green. Ghanaian-born host Akwei Thompson will examine everything from where to find the best African cuisine, to African comedy and storytelling, to the impact of cell phones on modern life.
Inquiry will air each Monday at 1730 UTC and will also be available on-demand at www.voaafrica.com.
