Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Pidgin Has Launched

After Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Pidgin was received with mixed reaction, Rajan asks members of the team and listeners why they think it’s worth investing in.

Focus on Africa presenter, Peter Okwoche, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Pidgin Senior Broadcast Journalist, Ruona Meyer and listener, Michael Ojalatan join Rajan Datar to discuss the merits of the new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Pidgin service, which has been launched for just under two weeks. The platform has been met with mixed reaction with critics saying Pidgin is not a proper language, while Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service listeners in West Africa are welcoming the launch.

Also, the series which explores interesting ideas and incredible inventions is coming to an end. But before they go, the team behind 50 Things That Made The Modern Economy is looking for your suggestion for the 51st Thing for a final bonus episode on podcast only.
