Adrian Daniels
In 2019, Adrian Daniels had a brainwave to launch a podcast platform to showcase Ghanaian excellence to the world. The internet is already crowded with content from Ghana: YouTube, Social Media pages, etc. However, after hosting 2x Networking Events during Christmas 2018 & 2019 in Accra for the Global African Diaspora, Adrian noticed a lack and desire for networking, whilst meeting many creatives and entrepreneurs from around the globe. In January 2020, The Sound of Accra Podcast was born. Powerful interviews with Top Founders, Entrepreneurs and Creatives from Ghanaian heritage or interest, leaving listeners with meaningful takeaways for life, business and career. New episodes weekly.

Ghana tops 9 Most Expensive African Countries to Rent a 1 Bed Apartment (On Ratios) | PodBites Ep. 26

Business Insider Africa shows that Ghana is amongst the list of 9 African countries which are the most expensive places to rent in Africa. This list is courtesy of Numbeo, the largest cost of living database in the world.. Those of you who have been following Season 3, we dropped an episode last year called “Is Accra Expensive”,  where Numbeo also reported that Accra is the 2nd most expensive city in the world,  which we debated of course. So this list is based on property price to income ratio basically comparing the median household price within an area to the median household income.  Owning a property and renting in Africa has never been more expensive in such a climate where people flocking to Africa are pushing up the prices and coincidently, pricing out some of the natives who just can’t afford it. The gap between the rich, middle class and poor is getting wider. We review in this episode, all the 9 countries on this list, including Ghana, based on the average salary per country and the going rate for a 1 bedroom apartment in each nations's capital.

Elon Musk to Visit Twitter Africa HQ in Accra, Ghana? | Twitter Africa HQ to move to SA? | PodBites Ep.24

Last year in May 2021, I mentioned Jack Dorsey, Co-founder of Twitter would be moving to Ghana for 6 months in the summer period. This obviously didn’t materialise as Jack Dorsey is too busy running Block, his parent company which focuses on empowering startups, which consists of Square, Weebly, Cash App, Jay-Z's Tidal, Stitch Labs and much more.! With the recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, to add to his already impressive empire of billion and trillion dollar companies, what more could Elon ask for? Twitter’s African presence in Ghana hasn’t yet made the impact native and Diaspora africans thought it would make just yet, apart from the clever billboards posted across Accra in 2021 and 2022 during the festive period, in collaboration with Ghana Twitter. However, Could a trip to Africa for Elon Musk be the game changer? Let us know your thoughts! Join the conversation on our Social Media handles.

Ghana Food Wars: Is Uber Eats finally launching in Accra? | PodBites Ep. 22

Following the success of Bolt Food,  Glovo ,  Jumia,  Menufinder, Hubtel, ShaQExpress and so much more, is Uber ready to open up its Food delivery services on Ghanaian shores? In October 2021, you may recall I did an episode exploring how Bolt had taken over Uber in terms of Market share in Ghana. So why would Uber bother to enter an already saturated market of food delivery services in the country? Now according to sources at Tech Nova, there are rumours brewing that Uber Eats is preparing to come to Ghana.  Would we see Uber finally enter the food delivery market in Ghana this year in 2022, or could this be something that may never happen,  or even be planned for further down in the future?

Ghanaian Cedis currency at an all time low, Gas and inflation at all time high - PodBites Ep. 20 ( The Sound of Accra Podcast Mini-Series)

On Tuesday 15th march 2022, The Pound Sterling Passed the 10 Ghanaian Cedis mark briefly, meaning £1  converted to just over 10 Ghanaian Cedis. This is an all time low for the Ghanaian Cedis currency. Meanwhile, Gas prices are at an all time high, with diesel prices going past the 10 cedis mark also. I released an episodes called the state of Ghana’s economy, Q4-2021, where I hinted that the Ghanaian economy was on a downwards spiral with inflation rising every week: The State of Ghana's Economy Q4-2021 An interesting tweet has resurfaced by President Nana Akuffo-Addo, who tweeted on 4th May 2016: “The current depreciation of the Ghana Cedis against the US dollar is because of bad leadership. We should not be where we are today to buy the dollar for 3.72 cedis. Vote for Change #changenow" Bloomberg has published that the ghana Cedi is now one of the worst performing currency among Africa’s top currencies.

Plastic Waste Management in Ghana and Across Africa | PodBites Ep. 18

The sustainability of plastic waste in Africa is something we should all be concerned about. Plastic is a solution. Even some technologies use it. But plastic is also a problem we need to tackle as entrepreneurs and creative innovators. This is exactly what an eco-conscious organisation, Eco Amet Solutions, hosted a webinar around.  Rivers, Oceans, Atmosphere, Food, plastic is EVERYWHERE!  We are surrounded by toxins. Yes in the West, we have recycling banks and recycling pickups in our local areas, but we still could do a lot more recycling in the west and especially in Africa. In recent years, nations have been looking at more sustainable ways of living and how to save our planet from the dangers of human activity, How do you see plastic waste management in the 2020s? Are we in danger? Is this why the Climate Change and Green Agenda is huge?  and green-focused deals more than ever?
