  • Perfect

    Subbed immediately when I saw you were the only podcaster who reached out to the legend Yukimi Nagano who had the best album out this year, AND you aren’t afraid to support Palestine proudly in your show, which sadly cannot be said for many of your journalist peers. Loved the interview with Yukimi, and Tunde Adebimpe as well, and looking forward to listening to Shura, Ibeyi and a lot of others. I can’t believe I only just learned about this podcast, and the best thing is you don’t even have ads.... more

    I LOVE Ken’s podcasts…. He is always a very caring and giving as a podcaster. I think it is important to be a good listener and be completely present during interviews and I think Ken is good at both. His guests have all different backgrounds which make the series interesting.
