Due to missing microphones and scheduling issues between the 2025 FTK hosts you're all lucky (or unlucky) to have both Brett and Joel recording their sesquicentennial episode together. TRAINING WEEKS
 For the first time this year Brett shares his training week with our non-patreon listeners. You'll hear about all the running he's doing, his current level of fitness and his ability to perform podcast live-shows from inside the sauna. Joel talks about his training week and has the man in charge of it (Brett) there to explain why he's doing what he's doing. THE BIG Q
 Changing things up this week Joel poses two questions to Brett. These two questions were sent Joel's way by his athletes Tess and Jordie (they do not sign a release waiver). GIVE SOME KUDOS 
 Brett sends his Kudos to a bloke running an 800m in the Rayban x Meta glasses while Joel talks up a popular TV show from the mid 2000's. TWHSOITWTWATSA
 Brett gets greedy as he returns to the main show and submits two entries for our closing segment. First he has questions around the gym program of the fast Kenyan marathoners before moving his attention towards the less talented (running-wise at least) Conor McGregor during his hill-sprint training. Joel closes out with a strava screenshot of a bloke running a 50km ultra-marathon inside a strip-club.

In this episode of the Supporting Champions Podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant Kate Spilsbury—a former colleague, friend, and leading performance physiologist. Kate's journey from nutrition to physiology is both inspiring and instructive, and I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her to the show. We explore the critical moments in athlete preparation—particularly tapering and peaking—and why getting them right can lead to breakthroughs or breakdowns in performance. Drawing on her experience in both British athletics and now high-performance sport in Australia, Kate shares deep insights into how training systems compare, how to support athletes through the nerves of tapering, and how individualized approaches are key to unlocking potential. This conversation is rich with reflections from her research (including Kenyan vs. British runners), her experience leading into the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, and her wisdom on monitoring, recovery, and pacing strategies that really work.   ✅ Key Topics ✔️ Tapering and peaking for optimal performance ✔️ Transition from nutrition to physiology ✔️ High performance systems in the UK vs. Australia ✔️ Managing training loads and athlete readiness ✔️ Monitoring tools: HRV, pacing, and athlete feedback ✔️ The psychological side of tapering ✔️ Individualization in endurance and team sports ✔️ Environmental factors: heat, altitude, geography ✔️ Recovery strategies and their effectiveness

As the French coastal city of Nice hosts the UN Ocean Conference, we take you to Kenya, where small-scale fishermen are struggling. Fish stocks are dwindling, and their nets often come up empty. The reason: some foreign industrial trawlers – mainly Chinese, Tanzanian, and Italian – are overfishing and damaging marine ecosystems, often with little oversight. But a grassroots response is taking shape. With protected areas, stricter fishing rules and coral reef restoration, coastal communities are working to reclaim and protect their waters. FRANCE 24's Clément Di Roma reports, with Olivia Bizot.

In conversation with Dr. Dennis Wamalwa In this episode of the Africa Rights Talk Podcast, Dr. Dennis Wamalwa joins the conversation during a NANHRI training held in Pretoria from April 10 to 11, 2025. The training focused on strengthening the capacity of African National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the protection and promotion of the rights of intersex persons. Dr. Wamalwa, a leading human rights advocate and academic, shares key reflections on the role of NHRIs in addressing the systemic invisibility, stigma, and discrimination faced by intersex persons across the continent. He discusses the necessity of aligning institutional practices with human rights standards and the importance of integrating intersex issues into broader national human rights agendas. Drawing on insights from the training, Dr. Wamalwa emphasizes the need for capacity building that goes beyond technical knowledge to include empathy, cultural sensitivity, and legal reform. He highlights how African Commission Resolution 552 serves as a critical framework for guiding NHRIs in their mandate to protect intersex persons, who are often marginalised due to deeply rooted social and medical norms. The conversation underscores the urgency of institutional accountability, inclusive policy development, and sustained advocacy to ensure intersex persons are not left behind in the human rights discourse. The episode serves as a compelling call for action, urging NHRIs and civil society actors to work collaboratively in transforming awareness into tangible protections for intersex individuals in Africa.   Dr. Dennis Wamalwa is a Kenyan human rights leader and the first openly intersex person to be appointed as a Commissioner of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) in February 2022. He holds a PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies and is a university lecturer.  Dr. Wamalwa has become a powerful advocate against discrimination toward intersex persons. He delivered candid testimony before Kenya's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, outlining his experiences of rights violations based on his identity. As Commissioner, he champions legal reforms such as Kenya's inclusion of intersex status in the 2019 census and 2022 Children's Act, and continues to push for stronger protection frameworks, public awareness, and policy implementation to ensure recognition, dignity, and equal rights for intersex individuals across Kenya and Africa.   This conversation was recorded on 11 April 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

The multidimensional Kenyan poet, filmmaker and writer Ngwatilo Mawiyoo is the subject of this month's Nothing But The Poem podcast. Keguro Macharia, in The New Inquiry, writes that Ngwatilo's poetry "draws out my own memories [which] speaks to its generative power: its particularity is generous, opening ways for readers to encounter and inhabit it." Hers is a voice that insists on the personal and political being unified. Our resident podcast host Sam Tongue selected: Found: Portrait Of Umau's Early Days, Found: Eulogy For My Father and Night Swim. Find out what Sam – and the Friends Of The SPL group – took from these poems in this Nothing But The Poem podcast.

In this fourth episode of Ziwani's RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Musyoki Muindi, a Kenyan entrepreneur in the electric motorbike market. He shares what it takes to pioneer new technology, highlighting how Enzi's success is built on two priorities: chasing high performance through community-driven R&D, and ensuring their riders can always keep moving, no matter what.   He also offers deeply personal insights on risk and responsibility from his 17-year career at an international mission organisation, working in East Africa, the UK and the US – reflecting that God sometimes takes us on unexpected detours that only make sense in retrospect.   From lessons learned in navigating the complex dynamics of cross-cultural partnerships, to carefully calculating risk without seeing the whole picture, Musyoki's story invites us to take a more nuanced view of risk, to value relationships, and to trust the unfolding purposes of God.

Robbie met Fiona Tande randomly in South Africa on what can only be described as a “crazy journey” tied to the Panyame Cheetah Conservation Project. During that connection Robbie and Fiona had a really solid conversation in the middle of the bush in which Fiona questioned Robbie about hunting. The result of that conversation was Fiona stating - "I had no idea hunters spoke or thought that way." That led to Robbie and Fiona connecting later, on this podcast. As you will see in this podcast - it quickly gets turned on its head with Fiona inquistively questioning Robbie about all things hunting - and will serve as an exceptional educational podcast to others about how to talk and answer someone who is not familiar with hunting, about hunting.

In the premiere of Identified Season Two, Nabil Ayers speaks with musician and activist Tom Morello about his extraordinary upbringing and journey toward understanding his identity. Tom shares stories about his trailblazing mother—an adventurous white teacher from a small Illinois town who raised him alone as a Black child in a segregated suburb—and the complex legacy of his absent Kenyan father. Their conversation traverses generational resilience, the racism Tom faced growing up in Libertyville, Illinois, and the emotional reckoning of meeting his father for the first time at age 30. Tom discusses finding belonging in unexpected places: among childhood friends, through music, and ultimately, with the Kenyan family he never knew he had. He also opens up about being a sperm donor in the '90s—and the surprising family connections that have surfaced in recent years. This episode explores what it means to define family on your own terms, and how connection can transcend distance, time, and silence.

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues. They close out a no holds barred conversation on a recent announcement made by the Global Fund of a new groundbreaking partnership between Mozambique and a Kenyan pharmaceutical company, which they were too coy to name. So Yvette and Ben give the company, United Corporation Ltd of Kenya a big shout out… 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:24 Support and Subscription Reminder 00:56 World Health Assembly Recap Begins 01:23 Yvette's European Trip and Obesity Congress 02:02 HIV and Weight Issues Discussion 04:09 Elon Musk's Controversial Comments 08:19 Pandemic Treaty and Global Health Governance 14:32 WHO Budget Cuts and Leadership Changes 18:15 Global South's Role in Health Funding 28:45 China's Growing Influence in Global Health 33:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 45:14 Closing Remarks and Acknowledgements

Stephen Ucembe draws from his lived experience growing up in a Kenyan orphanage to advocate for family care through Hope and Homes for Children and Transform Alliance Africa. Phil Aspegren shares his remarkable journey from orphanage founder to family care champion as Executive Director of Casa Viva, supporting transitions across Latin America. Together with host David Titus Musa of Sierra Leone, they unpack myths about orphanages that perpetuate family separation.The statistics are sobering: for every three months in an institution, a child loses approximately one month of development. Yet there's tremendous hope in the successful transitions happening worldwide. We hear about a Honduran children's home that reunified all 40 children with families, then redirected their resources to support 125 vulnerable families in the community, preventing separations before they happen.Whether you're a donor, volunteer, or simply care about vulnerable children, this conversation presents a compelling vision for reform.

In this episode of Bionic Planet, we continue our dive into the complex and often contentious world of community conservancies in northern Kenya, focusing on the Biliqo Bulesa and Cherub Community Conservancies. The episode opens with a powerful statement from community members, emphasizing that the ongoing legal battles surrounding these conservancies are not about the interests of the community but rather the agendas of a few individuals. We introduce Mustafa Mohamed Libin, a community member from Biliqo Bulesa, who shares the story of how his community took bold steps in 2007 to form a conservancy that is truly community-run, contrasting it with the historical context of land ownership in the region. The episode highlights the positive impacts of the conservancy, including the revival of traditional grazing practices and the introduction of carbon finance to support community initiatives. However, the narrative takes a darker turn as we discuss the backlash faced by the conservancies, particularly following a report from the Oakland Institute that accused the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) of various human rights abuses. We explore the subsequent media frenzy that ensued, often lacking proper fact-checking and failing to consult actual community leaders. The episode serves as a follow-up to episode 117, providing deeper insights into the crisis faced by the community and the urgent need for their voices to be heard. Throughout the episode, we hear directly from community members, including youth representatives and conservancy leaders, who express their concerns about the recent court ruling that deemed the conservancies illegal due to alleged lack of consent. They recount their shock at the judgment, which they claim was made without their knowledge or participation, and discuss the significant benefits the conservancies have brought to their lives, including access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. The community members passionately defend the conservancies, asserting that the allegations made against them are unfounded and that the real beneficiaries of the conservancy are the local people. They highlight the transformative impact of the conservancy on women's empowerment, youth engagement, and community development, emphasizing that the conservancy is a lifeline for their livelihoods. As the episode progresses, we address the misconceptions propagated by external organizations and the media, which often portray the conservancies in a negative light. The community members clarify the differences between community-run conservancies and private conservancies, asserting their ownership and the positive changes that have occurred since the establishment of their conservancy. In closing, the episode underscores the importance of community voices in the narrative surrounding conservation efforts. The community members call for transparency and engagement from external organizations, urging them to visit and understand the realities on the ground rather than relying on hearsay. This episode is a powerful testament to the resilience of the Biliko Bulesa and Cherub communities and their unwavering commitment to protecting their rights and livelihoods amidst external challenges.

Still loading the craziness in this episode! We recapped about Mother's Day, and talked about why men generally don't go big on celebrating themselves. We also got into Calvin's business about future tension between his mom and significant other because of his mom's access and time spent in his house. This led into a conversation about treating parents like human beings. We got into trends as well, including the amapiano and oontz movement that's swept the Kenyan scene. The crew also settled the greatest vegetable debate. All this,and plenty more on today's episode.

In April 2023, Kenyan authorities uncovered a waking nightmare: hundreds of shallow graves scattered across the forest floor in Shakahola. What began as ten bodies quickly ballooned into over 400—most of them women and children, many brutally mutilated, raped, or missing organs like eyes, kidneys, and genitalia. These were not peaceful deaths. This was a killing field disguised as holy ground; an execution site for followers of Good News International Ministries, a Christian doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie. Indoctrinated with the belief that starving to death would bring them closer to Christ, victims surrendered food, freedom, and their lives - many buried alive, others butchered in ritualistic public executions. What investigators found wasn't just mass murder - it was a religious apocalypse where obedience was fatal and faith became a death sentence. Please listen with caution.

In this final episode of the Kenya series, host Anna Stoecklein explores what it will take to not just end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), but to shift the underlying social norms that drive it. The episode examines the complex journey toward cultural transformation, revealing how community dialogue, intergenerational conversations, and collective action are crucial for lasting change.  Through powerful examples—from a young Maasai man who composes songs advocating against FGM/C to a former cutter now spreading awareness within her community—the episode showcases how grassroots movements are creating meaningful progress.  While acknowledging the long road ahead, survivors and experts share signs of progress and compelling reasons to remain hopeful about creating a world where women not only live free from harmful practices, but where they possess full bodily autonomy, equal decision-making power, access to education, and the opportunity to fulfill their extraordinary potential—a transformation that benefits not just women, but entire communities and countries.

Anyone who has spent time in hospital will know just how vital nurses are. They're often the people we have the most contact with as they look after our comfort as well as our medical care. But the role of nurses is expanding. They are taking on more medical responsibilities and are becoming leaders in healthcare. Alan Kasujja speaks to Khadija Mohamed Juma, a Kenyan nurse who has been revolutionizing blood donation in the country. And also to Naomi Oyoe Ohene Oti, a nurse from Ghana who has been leading the development of oncology nursing in Ghana.

In this episode, we sit down with Lloyd Kempson to talk about his recent trip to iten with Kenya Experience - diving into what it was like to train at altitude, immerse himself in Kenyan running culture, and step away from the usual routine. Lloyd shares honest reflections on his time at camp, what surprised him most, and the lessons he brought home. We also take a deep dive into the UK running scene, discussing the cultural differences between traditional athletics clubs and the newer, more community-driven run crews. Lloyd offers his thoughts on the disconnect between the two and what might be done to bridge the gap. Lloyd has also been busy creating content from his time in Kenya - you can find his videos and insights over on our Kenya Experience YouTube channel and on his own social platforms.

Part 3 - "Wake Up! The Bandits Are Coming!"At the end of March this year, officers from the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) responded to a request for assistance when an armoured Haitian National Police vehicle became stuck in a ditch near Pont-Sondé in Artibonite. The ditch was believed to have been dug by a local gang.As the MSS officers arrived to help, they were ambushed by armed men, allegedly from the Gran Grif gang. During the firefight, three armoured vehicles were set on fire, and one MSS officer went missing, presumed killed. This incident marked the second casualty for the Kenyans in about a month.The MSS was deployed to Haiti to help stabilize the security situation and combat the growing power of gangs. Unfortunately, since their arrival, the MSS has faced the same challenges as the Haitian National Police: a lack of manpower, inadequate equipment, and insufficient funding. The gangs continue to maintain the upper hand.Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate.In the final part of this series on Haiti, we will explore the challenges facing the Haitian National Police, the fall of beleaguered Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the rising confidence of the Viv Ansanm gang, the arrival and difficulties encountered by MSS officers, and the escalating humanitarian disaster in the country.SpeakersJacqueline Charles, Haiti/Caribbean Correspondent, Miami Herald.

In March, a convicted murderer was released from the Clayton County Jail by mistake. The family of his victim and Clayton County officials say they were not alerted until days later. The inmate was eventually apprehended almost three weeks later, not far from the Florida hometown of his victim’s family. Today we’re asking, how often are inmates released by mistake, who should be held accountable and what process should be in place for alerting the public, especially the victim’s family? Defense attorney David West returns to “Closer Look” to give his legal take. Plus, there has been an increase in data centers being built across the Peach State, prompting many questions. Today, we preview WABE’s new series, “Server South.” The series explores what data centers are and why the industry has honed in on Georgia to plant roots. For “Closer Look’s” Class of 2025 graduation series, we hear from Ivy Nganga. The Oglethorpe University graduate majored in economics and minored in math. She talks with Rose about her academic journey, including plans to pursue a PhD and her long-term aspirations to help women in Kenya.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"All those moments led to this. All the hard work really, truly pays off." In 2022, Sharon Lokedi made her marathon debut at the TCS New York City Marathon. It went pretty well for a first-timer: She won. Since then, Sharon has raced often and well, usually finding herself on a podium just behind frequent competitor and friend Hellen Obiri. Sharon finished second to Hellen in Boston last year, and finished just off the podium in fourth at last summer's Paris Olympics — again, just behind Hellen. So this year, Sharon lined up in Boston ready to see if she could overtake the two-time defending champion — and the rest of the field. You know how it played out: Sharon won the 2025 Boston Marathon in a personal best time of 2:17:22. In this conversation, the Kenyan-born, Flagstaff-based Under Armour Dark Sky Distance athlete talks about what it took to break the tape that Monday in Boston. She talks her childhood as the oldest of four kids being raised by a single mom, and about the adjustment when she came to the United States for college. And, of course, she breaks down race day in Boston, including how she felt that morning, whether she had a feeling it was going to be her day, and how she celebrated afterward (hello, new Gucci bag!).  FOLLOW SHARON @shazrine SPONSOR:  goodr: Click here and use code ALI for $5 off your next order.
