Lagos, Nigeria – February 4, 2026 – As the vibrant world of Nigerian podcasting continues to amplify voices across the nation and beyond, a groundbreaking initiative is poised to elevate discoverability and preservation in the ecosystem. The Nigerian Podcast Index, an independent public directory dedicated to documenting and showcasing podcasts created in Nigeria or by Nigerians, will officially go live on February 12, 2026, coinciding with Africa Podcast Day celebrations.
This launch marks a pivotal moment for creators, listeners, researchers, and industry stakeholders, offering a centralised resource that prioritises accessibility over algorithms. Expect a user-friendly platform where podcasts are verified, organised by key details like genre, language, and status, and made easily discoverable for all. While the full site at nigerianpodcastindex.com is under construction and will be live soon, creators can submit their shows now via https://bit.ly/SubmitYourPodcastNG to be part of the directory from day one.
In addition to the directory’s debut, two exclusive reports will be unveiled, diving into the heart of Nigeria’s podcasting boom. One explores surprising cultural insights revealed through the medium, while the other provides a sharp market analysis of trends, genres, and opportunities. These pieces promise fresh perspectives on how audio content is shaping society, faith, diaspora connections, and more, without spoiling the details just yet.
Tony Onwuchekwa (Tony Doe), founder of the Nigerian Podcast Index and host of Into The Podverse, shared: “This is about building a lasting archive for Nigerian stories. Stay tuned for February 12, we’re just getting started.”
