March 16,2026
Nigerian media entrepreneur Adesewa Josh has reached a major milestone in her career after securing an international streaming partnership for her popular podcast, The Grannies. The deal positions the podcast for a global audience, marking an exciting step forward for Josh as she continues to expand her influence in the media and digital content space.
Since its launch, The Grannies has carved a niche for itself with engaging conversations, relatable storytelling, and discussions on everyday life, culture, relationships, and contemporary issues. The podcast has steadily grown in popularity thanks to its authentic approach and the refreshing perspective Josh brings to each episode.
A key factor behind the podcast’s success is its collaboration with SSM Studios, a subsidiary of her production company Smallscreenmultimedia, which provides professional support for content creators and podcasters. SSM Studios recently announced that The Grannies has been greenlit for television broadcast by Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), the largest cablecaster of original video programming in the United States. This development marks a historic expansion for the series, taking it beyond podcasting to a televised platform in the U.S., further solidifying Josh’s international media presence.
Speaking about the series, Adesewa Josh, founder of SSM Studios and creator of The Grannies, explained that the show was conceived to celebrate the wisdom, stories, and life lessons of older generations. This vision has guided the podcast from its inception, creating content that resonates across age groups while honoring the experiences and perspectives of elders.
Industry experts note that podcasting and digital media continue to grow globally, with streaming platforms and cable networks actively seeking original voices and authentic content. Collaborations like this enable independent creators like Josh to scale their reach, connect with more audiences, and compete on an international level.
With these exciting developments, The Grannies is entering a new chapter, leveraging both audio streaming and television broadcast to reach audiences locally and internationally. This achievement highlights the importance of professional production, strategic collaborations, and visionary creativity in elevating African media content to a global platform.
For Adesewa Josh, securing both an international streaming partnership and a television broadcast deal marks a major milestone in her journey as a media entrepreneur. As The Grannies expands its audience, it stands as a source of inspiration for the next generation of African content creators, showcasing the power of storytelling, innovation, and strategic growth in the media industry.
