Absolute Radio is the result of a journey that started from Channel 7 Newsroom in Sydney, Australia, to Takoradi’s Skyy Power FM in Ghana. The journey in Takoradi occurred with an amazing group of girls and boys whose passion for radio changed the destiny of a city. Among this creative group, Phillip Nyakpo became a reporter, editor, and anchor, while also reporting for Joy FM in Ghana’s capital, Accra.
This was followed by a stint with BBC World Service in London, and finally returning to Australia, the place where it all started.
The research, reflection, and the resulting narration is a deeply moving story made from more than 70 interviews conducted across four continents. It is a celebration of entrepreneurship, youth empowerment, talent identification, and acquisition. It is an African story with global footprints; witty, eye-opening, and inspiring.
