Simon Kendall, Business Development, Manager for BBC World Service Africa and Middle East Region, said: “This is an exciting development and we are very pleased to achieve our first FM partnership in Botswana. Listeners will be able to hear Heart and Soul in crystal clear FM quality. I hope it becomes a weekly highlight bringing us closer to audiences in the region.”
David Stead, Executive Producer, Religious and Weekly Programmes, BBC World Service, said: “I am delighted that listeners in Botswana have the chance to enjoy Heart and Soul. It is a programme looking at a wide range of religious and spiritual themes from a very human perspective. Its strength is in its variety, from stories looking at a people who convert from one religion to another, to features exploring how different faiths interpret the idea of Heaven and Hell. In an increasingly global world, Heart and Soul is a programme with a multi-faith agenda and is rapidly becoming essential listening.”
