  • Forward thinking and entertaining

    Kweli is one of my all time favorite MCs (and Train of Thought is my all time favorite album of any genre), and I’d never heard of Tef before this pod - but it is excellent and I’m an immediate Tef fan. The conversations are informative, interesting, and free flowing in a way that still stays centered on both important and entertaining topics. Immediate follow.

Thanks for being true to ... more
