About The Angle
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.
What We Do
Podcasting & Longform Interviews
- The Angle Podcast features deep-dive conversations with African founders, creatives, thinkers, and technologists.
- Content is repackaged across YouTube, Spotify, Substack, and social platforms for layered engagement.
Multi-Modal Publishing & Documentation
- From raw interviews to refined narratives, The Angle builds workflows that extend a single story across multiple formats—short video, audio cuts, written features, and thematic newsletters.
- Podcast episodes generate not just one product but up to five pieces of audience-specific content.
Platform Strategy for Public Impact

- Clients and collaborators include Tshimologong Precinct, FakUgesi Festival, Wits University, and others.
