Well narrated story!
I listened to this season of Kutika! and found it so nicely done! The story is so well crafted and narrated. This is really a great way to listen to Modern African stories with the limited time I currently have to read books (it takes a long time to finish books these days) and still stay connected to the motherland! Thank you for making these stories available to us in and out of Africa 👏🏾.
Thoroughly enjoyed episode 1
On the look out for authentic African storytelling, I was happy to discover the Kutika podcast and thoroughly enjoyed episode 1 (Part 1) A Home Blessing. While the story kicks off in a seemingly charmed and everyday setting--a church--there's a quiet sense of drama unfolding and Part 1 ends with an unexpected encounter. The episode is narrated by Nene Nwoko whose lovely voice easily captures the various characters. Looking forward to episode 2!
