    • Ep. 17: Reviewing | Bush Baby by Roseline Mgbodichinma
      Bush Baby is a short story published by Illino Media, it is a story that has an otherworldliness to it. I especially love the writing style and how easy the story was to get into and comprehend. You can read Bush Baby on illino.org and you can also subscribe to their mailing list to know when they have published new stories.

      Whew! Recording this episode was total chaos. I had my initial thoughts penned down but as soon as I sat to record it all vanished.

    • Ep. 14: Reading | Love Is Beautiful When In Bloom by Lara T. Kareem
      Love Is Beautiful When In Bloom is a collection of seven short stories that centre and focus on Love. The stories are refreshing and have a lightness to them that would make you just sit and smile. I'm proud of Nigerian Female authors who are doing extraordinarily well and I'll always highlight them in anyway I can. Since it's Short stories September, I decided to read two stories from this collection and I hope you enjoy it. You can get the book from the author's page on Instagram @laratkareem or @rovinheights, @pagebookstore and @bookpeddlerng all on Instagram.

    • Ep. 12: Recommending | 10 Nigerian Authors you need to know about
      Nigeria is home to a lot of popular authors known worldwide who have become household names. We always hear about these household names but have you heard of others who aren't household names but who have actually broken into these writing streets and shown themselves worth so much. These are authors in Nigeria that I think their names should be on everyone's lips. Enjoy!
