Can you imagine – or remember – that there was once a time when people were huddled around a radio to listen to a broadcast or a particular show? When we talk about development, we don’t just mean buildings and roads; we also mean communication systems. 

In the spirit of reflection and in understanding development, we thought about the rise in podcasts, podcasters, and podcast listeners. What’s the hype about? What’s the value in podcasting? How have these podcasts come to be? 

The answer was simply in looking within the context of Kenya, narrowing down to the podcasts doing the work of educating, informing, and entertaining listeners, and speaking to the creative teams behind them. 

We introduce you to a new story collection called #KePodcasts. Whether you are taking a morning walk, or busy doing chores, or on your commute to work, these are audio-episodes worth listening to.
