Your book, Black Gold, was well written and appealed to me as an African American. It is my desire to visit Ghana and several other countries in Africa. Thank you for dealing honestly with the contradictions and sharing your story.

Any chance of getting ICA talks turned into podcasts? Four pressing reasons for doing so:

-Most of your competitors have been doing it for a few years now.

-It's cheap and easy to do these days.

-It's a good marketing device and will attract people to your site.

Have also posted this as a query in the 'contact us' page but it really is something that should be up for public debate.
