Welcome to Limitless, the podcast series that asks the questions which matter to Africa.

Are tech start-ups the answer to Africa's unemployment problem? Can we stop fake news from spreading on the continent? How do we raise a generation of football stars?

These are just some of the topics we’ll be tackling.

And we’re not looking for simple answers. Just as Africa’s potential is limitless, so are the possible solutions to any challenges the continent faces.

During each podcast episode, we’ll be asking three very different subject experts to give their take on each question. This will come as no surprise but they don’t always agree.

Made possible with a grant from the U.S. Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.

There is a lot of uncertainty at the moment in the Digital Media landscape but one thing is for sure. Conscious consumerism is in, and companies that aren’t getting the message....are on their way out.The Digital Media Industry is increasingly being held accountable for its environmental impact. Discussions around ESG, Green Media, Digital Carbon Foot-printing and the responsibility that companies have to minimise the effect of their ‘Dirty Data’ is shifting from a mild hubbub to a dull roar.Brought to you by The Digital Distillery, Green About Media is a brand new show exploring the topics and issues surrounding the Green Media movement, keeping you informed, and perhaps even a little hopeful along the way.

News and investment research brought to you weekly covering major market trends and new research insights. With topics ranging from climate impact on investment portfolios, corporate actions, trending investment topics, and emerging sustainability issues, hosts Mike Disabato and Bentley Kaplan of MSCI ESG Research walk through the latest news and research that is top of mind for the week.

Saving Tomorrow’s Planet investigates who’s doing what to save the planet & how we all can change to save it too. We are focussed on people actually doing things and not just talking about the need to do it. Solving the climate crisis needs “Innovators, Investors & Inspiring leaders” and that’s who we’re tracking down and talking to. Our conversations uncover innovative actions that individuals & companies are taking to reduce global warming and we also ask each guest to share their practical “tips and tricks” we can all use to reduce our environmental impact.
