Podcasts in Kenya today are what FM radio stations were in the early 1990s. I sometimes look back and ask what was the government afraid of when they were pushed to liberalise the airwaves. We moved from a single national radio and TV station to multiple FM stations. Today, podcasts are all over the internet, providing the TV feel to a radio like conversation.

This means that podcasters must be creative in content and presentation. Real life stories can never go stale, especially in the era of "we listen but we don't judge". I found myself watching "Stories by Justus", I find it unique in that Justus himself doesn't feature and so the guest tells his story in his own way to the viewers. A young man from Kendu Bay who grew up in Kibera told his life story and I picked the intricacies of a blended family.
