I'm taking a break from podcasting to finish my book. Doing some housekeeping and then presenting an excellent interview with Wole Talabi, author of Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon!

Transcript

Wole Talabi: 19:50- ...And I've been to the British Museum several times. The last time I was there, I saw a few items in that I really wanted to, like, take with me, including the brass head of Obalufon, which is a real object. ... I felt the urge to conduct a heist. So I just decided to write it into the novel.
