Hechtech Information

We produce audio documentaries broadcast on English and German public radio. We also undertake investigations for corporate clients. These two activities are very different from each other yet for us they go hand-in-hand. Both require rigorous research. Both require careful reporting. The results are insightful, comprehensible and engaging. Our investigations consist mostly of interviewing people with insider knowledge. The subjects are usually individuals or organization located anywhere in the world. But the investigations can also be about markets, policies and perceptions. We pride ourselves in being able to work quickly in specialized fields that have included international finance, energy, biotech, the auto industry, aviation and farming. Our reporting is always clear with careful footnoting. We get our clients results in just a matter of days. Our radio documentaries, on the other hand, take time. For the last two years w e have been working out of Ghana, preparing a documentary radio series called Invisible Governance. The European Journalism Center provided generous support for us to produceour first hour-long documentary in German for WDR Radio5, which aired in December 2019. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to tell the extraordinary story of Ghana's rich and diverse spiritual life and its influences over people and politics. Believe it or not, our recordings include interactions with spiritual beings and their priests. We are not pushing any particular belief system. We are documenting what we hear and its effects. Once we have created pilots for the radio series, we will be looking for radio and podcast outlets. Hechtech House is located in Osu, Accra's funky downtown. It includes a sound studio and office and an events space for concerts, conferences and crazy parties.
