Abstract
Significance:
ILukuluku is the name of our African-language science communication podcast that includes curious Zulu-speaking communities in scientific discourse. The podcast entertains and educates Zulu listeners of all ages, by breaking down complex scientific topics using facts, linguistic quirks and humour. We contend that the iLukuluku podcast is a practical, proudly South African example of how ordinary citizens, science communicators, translators, scientists, and black people in particular, can work together to communicate science beyond English.
