The Kinda Sapiens PodcastCritical thought on tech innovations and their impact on African, well kinda. From a couple of African post-grads at Carnegie Mellon University with a mic and nothing better to do Author: The Kinda Sapiens
It's a common yet sad misconception that African don't care about tech or innovation. A couple of post graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University, that should have better things to do, discover a mic and decide to record a podcast. Bringing out thoughtful discussion on technology and it's impact on Africa (hence the sapiens). At least that's the intention, most of the time we end up ranting about people and tech companies with the occasional thoughtful insight (hence the Kinda Sapiens). This is Africa; the English is clean and the accents are thicc. So brew yourself a nice warm cup of tea, plug your earphones in, and learn you a thing or two.
