About The Angle

African Perspectives on Digital Culture | Creativity | Media | Money | Governance

Who We Are

The Angle is an African digital media and storytelling platform that explores the intersection of digital culture, creativity, media, money and governance.
Founded by Scott Peter Smith and Stanley Moloto, The Angle is rooted in the belief that the most compelling stories about Africa's digital future are already here—on the ground, being built by artists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and civic thinkers.
At its heart, The Angle is a podcast-first platform, supported by visual stories, articles, newsletters, and event-based activations. It is also a publishing lab—experimenting with multi-modal content strategies that make African perspectives more visible, shareable, and financially sustainable.
