Nana Aba Anamoah has revealed that her ultimate “bucket list” interview is not with a politician or global business magnate, but with the celebrated “Queen of the Airwaves,” Doreen Andoh, as well as the founder and CEO of The Multimedia Group, Kwasi Twum.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie on Saturday, 21st February 2026, Nana Aba shared that her admiration for Doreen Andoh dates back to a formative phone call she made shortly after secondary school, when she was still trying to find her path in media.
A life-changing phone call
She recalled calling Joy FM for advice and being unexpectedly connected directly to Doreen Andoh.
“She spoke to me on the phone. I said, ‘Oh, I want to be a media person, but I don’t know what to do,’ and she gave me some advice that I don’t even remember, but it was her voice. It was so soothing on the phone, and I thought, ‘Oh, this woman is adorable,’” she recounted.
Despite crossing paths with Andoh numerous times over the years, Nana Aba admitted she has never told her about that memorable conversation.
The mystery of 30 years of relevance
For Nana Aba, the driving force behind wanting to interview Doreen Andoh is to understand her remarkable longevity in broadcasting. With more than three decades on air, Andoh continues to command loyal listenership.
“I don’t know how Doreen has done it... 30 years,” Nana Aba said. “There isn’t a single time you tune into the radio and say, ‘Oh, my bad, I’m tuning off.’ You will listen from the beginning to the end. And she still has that power.”
She even urged the veteran broadcaster to write a book documenting her journey, saying she would eagerly read it.
A second dream interview
Nana Aba also named Kwasi Twum as her second dream interview subject. Though the prospect was met with scepticism during the show, she insisted the interview was “feasible,” maintaining that she would secure it someday.
“I know that will never happen... but you see, in this life, never say never. I know that day will come. It will come before the Lord Almighty calls me. I will interview that one,” she said.
A tribute to mentorship
Her comments come at a time when Ghana’s media landscape is evolving, with veteran broadcasters increasingly viewed as mentors and institutional pillars.
By spotlighting Doreen Andoh’s influence, Nana Aba revealed a personal and reflective side that of a young aspirant once inspired by kindness and accessibility even as she continues to shape the next generation of media professionals herself.
