How Africa's Top Entrepreneur Podcast 3X Clip Output & Exploded on Socials (20K+ Views)

Overview

Unscripted with Raygan is hosted by Reagan Marfo. The show talks to founders and builders in Africa and beyond about how they really built their companies: money, visas, small rooms, wins that took work, not just polished headlines.

Young people listen for stories that feel possible for them, not only what looks good on a profile.

Episodes are long. Social media still needs short clips on Instagram and TikTok that catch attention. Doing both meant the team had to find a faster way than watching every minute by hand.

Solution

Choppity suggests timestamps and clips automatically after they upload (Magic Clips). Editors still choose what stays: they skim suggestions instead of rewinding blind.

They still drop roughly half of the suggestions because pacing matters, but now they argue from a starting list instead of searching from zero.

They went from scouting everything by hand to putting out about three times as many shorts per week. The same hour of work stretched further once the digging part was trimmed down.

"The first time we used the AI Magic Clips feature, our reaction was simple: 'Where has this been all our lives?'"

Results

Compared with cutting everything by hand before:

• They publish about three times as many shorts each week.

• Instagram clips cut in Choppity have reached 11,108 views so far.

• The same batches on TikTok show 9,347 views.

• Together that's about 20,400 plays across the apps on clips run through Magic Clips before polish.

Going back to the old workflow would slow posts and drag growth exactly the way they already felt before Magic Clips. They're not guessing; they've lived that slower version.
