    Education, Power & the Politics of Thinking: Rethinking Kenya's Colonial Legacy

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down with Yvonne Atieno for a thought provoking conversation about education, democracy, history, and power in Kenya. Together, we explore how colonial structures continue to shape Kenya's education system, why critical thinking is being replaced by "practicality," and what it means when education becomes primarily about employability rather than human development. Drawing on the works of Prof. E.S. Atieno Odhiambo and Dr. Wandia Njoya, we discuss the ideology of order, the role of history in shaping political consciousness, the loss of oral traditions, and why asking "Education for who? Education for what?" may be one of the most important questions of our time. We also reflect on AI, creativity, philosophy, and the importance of reclaiming knowledge beyond the classroom. This conversation is for anyone interested in education, African history, decolonisation, democracy, and the future of learning. Books & Essays Mentioned Primary Readings E.S. Atieno Odhiambo – The Ideology of Order (essay) Dr. Wandia Njoya – essays on education, competency-based curriculum (CBC), philosophy of education, and decolonising learning Additional Books Referenced Walter Rodney – How Europe Underdeveloped AfricaWalter Rodney – The Making of an African IntellectualAugustine of Hippo – The City of GodRené Girard – works on mimesis and violence (particularly Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World or Violence and the Sacred)  Support the show Website: https://www.onemorebook.de/ Socials: One More Book Podcast

    Mood Reader Meets Planner: My March & April Book List

    Send us Fan Mail I’m a mood reader… but I also love a good plan. So for early spring, I’ve put together a TBR that tries to balance both sides of my reading personality. In this episode, I’m walking you through the books I’m hoping to read in March and April from powerful literary fiction and memoirs to thought-provoking nonfiction, book club picks, and a few reads that are completely outside my comfort zone. I’m making a conscious effort to diversify my reading this time across genres, voices, and perspectives while still leaving room for curiosity and mood reading. Expect authors like Bernardine Evaristo, Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and more. We’ll talk about:  • why I plan my reading (even as a mood reader)  • the books I’m most excited about this spring  • book club reads and how they shape my TBR  • and how I’m trying to read more intentionally If you’re also planning your spring reading or trying to this episode is for you.

    The Freedom of Turning 40: Boundaries, Dating & What No One Told Us (But Should Have)

    Send us Fan Mail Turning 40 changes everything — especially the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the expectations the world keeps putting on women. In this episode of the One More Book Podcast, I sit down with my lifelong friend Pie to talk about what truly shifts when you enter your forties: the bold “no”, the freedom from external opinions, the unexpected joy of dating yourself, and the reality of dating in your 40s. We talk about the myths we grew up with, the pressure women still face, and why so many of us learn to choose peace over people-pleasing. Pie also shares a refreshingly honest look at single motherhood, financial independence, emotional boundaries, and why travelling with your child might be the most empowering therapy there is.
