  • Kevin spoils the listener with a variety of carefully selected and narrated stories from Kenya. I love listening to this podcast because I know I will both learn something about the local culture there AND feel connected to the humans in the stories as a whole because the stories run deep in the best, we are more alike than different kind of way.

  • These are great modern stories for anyone around the world. For outsiders, there are glimpses into the culture and joy of Kenyan life which is as varied as the landscapes throughout the country.
