Season VII, 2 - Episode 34

Morten Ranum has submitted an essay with the title "The Lost Rrecording of Uhuru Phalafala" to New Contrast Literary Magazine in South Africa. In this podcast you can listen to him reading it. The title is somewhat a weird one. As the title reveals this was not the purpose. His intention was to have a recording of the conversation he had with Uhuru Phalafala in Cape Town in September and publish it as a conversation podcast, only very lightly edited to keep it as close as possible to the live situation maintaining the raw and fresh atmosphere of the unpolished.

As usual very rarely things turn out to be as they have been planned. Nothing we do is smooth, but we try our best to be an open book.

For the record there is now also an Open Book Festival in Harare in Zimbabwe, although we have not been there ourselves.
