Originally uploaded on Katutura and Beyond podcast which has been merged with my main one now. The Katutura and Beyond podcast will now be a series under this podcast with episodes in English to allow me to have all content in one place- and a wider reach :) Original description: I've read that you like lists. Numbers do something to you. Top 5? Is that interesting? Top 3? Even more exciting? Well I'm tuning it all the way up to Top 10 and taking you through some of the wonderful and hilarious things I miss about my home country Windhoek, Namibia. Loaded with stories, knowledge rich content and a dad-style sense of humour I'm embarrassed about. Catch you guys in the next episode! (Hope you didn't hear me burp:( NB: Ignore all that population density claims, turns out my Geography failed me lol. Song credit: Ben Howard- Keep Your Head Up!

We try to answer the question ‘who am I' in Khoekhoegowab, only to realise that apart from the question being a challenge, the language is also stubborn. In summary, are you still the same person you were two days ago? What changed? What didnt? Who are you when you are not all the things around you? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gamdara/message

I've finally decided to put perfectionism aside and start with this podcast, all my flaws and blunders on the table so I discuss around that. The podcast is in Khoekhoegowab to represent the Damara/Nama people who have little media coverage and so I'm working towards putting the language out there so that young Damara/Nama people can have access to material in their own language as well, something that I didnt have as a child, apart from radio and very few films/visuals. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gamdara/message

Something new and exciting, something plain and something. Maybe a little exotic, maybe a little boring. Join me as I explore life in the north in contrast to the south. Keep up with the languages, from Khoekhoegowab to Norwegian, English and Afrikaans to spice things up. Walk away with a new word each day, maybe you might just learn a new language. Stay tuned with Queen R. Urikhos! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gamdara/message
