Chike Jeffers (Halifax) looks to be starting off quite a comprehensive set of podcasts on Africana philosophy. It’s ecumenical (seemingly not slanted to Francophone or Anglophone Africa, or any so-called analytic ordinary language/hermeneutic sides) and it takes up the great controversies within that “area” of philosophy. It starts off April 1st. Here are the planned episodes (interviews will also be made) for the first part of the series. I really look forward to listening:

Philosophy in Ancient Mesopotamia [as context for Egypt]
