Host Travis Adkins is a masterful interviewer whose deep well of knowledge and sense of dedication to the African comes through loud and clear. His questions and follow up exhibit a profound understanding of Africa, its potential, its pitfalls, and its current reality. He’s no mere talking head; he gets to the thick of things and helps the listener to understand the continent and its complexities.
