The best podcast ever to exist
nasberig via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 02/08/24
I love this podcast. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to discover it. I left Africa years ago for greener pastures but there not so green. Add to that, I feel lost. Not from here but forgotten my home. Listening to these stories brings back there. I imagine the people, the places, in my...Read full review »

I have listened to every episode from the beginning. It’s amazing how I feel connected to fellow Africans. I also get excited when I hear stories from my home, Uganda. What an initiative. Thanks Kim and team. I encourage everyone to tune in and listen.

An excellent podcast! Interesting storylines and well produced. Highly recommend.
Ola_Mide via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/21
Gives day to day people from various African nations a voice and perspective. It challenges us, many of whom being from the West, to not see groups as simply that. We are all individuals! It’s in depth, and I enjoy the relatable (or new) common threads.

Class act, professional, well prepared and sometimes unexpected in the telling.
CarolKui via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/23/21

I like how the stories are put together and not boring plus how clean the audio and voice clarity is to listen. Kim Chakanetsa has a beautiful voice 😌

Your work is such a great insight to us
Minla++ via Apple Podcasts · Sierra Leone · 04/14/21
I love this Podcast it has opened me to different life stories that I haven’t directly interacted with and given me an open mind to different things in life. Thank you
Tegutwo via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 04/01/21
Kim Chakanetsa does it again: finding diverse experts to address wide-ranging themes. The focus is on Africa, and they concern us all around the world.

Hi, I am from Belgium and I have no African background. Why do I listen to The Comb? I like the program because it shows another face of Afrika. In Europe we know so little about this great continent and his people. Programs as The Comb is a nice way tho widen my horizon and also better my...Read full review »

Thankful to the team at “The Comb” for tackling and interrogating issues with integrity and sensitivity.
urbanmosadi via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/11/21
I think it is fair to say that virtually anyone will find they learn new information and perspectives while listening to this podcast. Topics are comprehensively researched and presented in a way that someone from really any background can understand the issues and the larger societal...Read full review »

I enjoy the Comb, great, topical and relevant content. Keep up the good job
IzavaM via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 03/04/21
Very insightful. Well chosen topics that leave you yearning for more. Short and precise but with the ability to trigger deep thoughts in your mind. 5*
D. Ahumuza via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 03/03/21
I love how diverse the topics are— and how enlightening that makes the podcast
Shesuthman via Apple Podcasts · Ghana · 03/01/21
Well researched programme with lots of interesting topics and interviews covered. A really good listen in the car on the way to work. It would be great if you could diversify the stories & interviews to include people beyond Kenya and Nigeria, so we hear from a broader spectrum of African...Read full review »

Fascinating insightful stories from across the continent
Christian in Guildford via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/21
The podcast brings real ground issues to the forefront and covers stories from multiple sides.
Pierre Gertenbach via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 02/06/21
This podcast has become a lifeline for me during this “pandemic era”. The topics are real, raw and engaging. I have heard stories from corners of the continent I would have normally never heard a blip about on traditional news. Kim and her correspondents bring each story to life and it’s simply...Read full review »

Love this podcast as it shares human stories within the continent. As a Nigerian in diaspora I enjoy listening to this podcast to learn more about my culture and heritage
Eva-933 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/22/21
Amazing podcast with original stories that made me cry
Charlunka via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/19/21
The comb provides great insight into the African continent from many POV. As a British born and raised Nigerian its great to know and hear of topics that interest me. No other podcast like this. Keep up the great work
QueenB_dee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/15/21
The Comb is definitely my current favorite podcast, intriguing stories with a great deal of insight, and the best part is; They are stories from Africa 😊👌🏾

I really love this podcast! Every episode is well put together and each topic presents opportunities for great discussions. Keep up the good work 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

This podcast is among my favorites, Love the stories how it is close to the people experience, and also an eye-opener about what is happening in Africa.
Constant. B via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 12/15/20
Living in Europe I find this essential listening. It’s a great listen and The Comb has taught me so much. After some episodes I am truly humbled and even angry with the planet. This programme is a force for good and should be heard far and wide.
Networks Theatre via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/14/20
Hooked. Thank you 🙏
grhdhhe via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/07/20
The only thing I’d change about this podcast would be to make each episode 10 minutes longer! Really enjoy hearing stories and voices from Africa across such a wide range of topics. Great insights and content that is thought-provoking, frustrating, and funny all at once. A welcome antidote to the...Read full review »

Every episode brings a different issue,some of which have never crossed my mind.
Maltisaida via Apple Podcasts · Ghana · 10/30/20
I found this podcast and listened to all the previous episodes in a single day!
_Louis D via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/20
This podcast is quite informative.it let’s me know of what’s happens all of over Africa,in a unique way. Thank you for the work.
Mimohomb via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 10/10/20
I first became enchanted with Kim in her BBC podcast, The Conversation. She is equally witty, warm, and curious in this series. She and co-host Olivia look at contemporary African stories all too often overlooked in Western media – with panache, sensitivity, and honesty. (I thought the millenial...Read full review »
Lucy_Lulu_Lucia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/20
Really glad I followed an advert for this from another podcast! Really thoughtful topics and the content goes way beyond the titles, providing insight in a way I haven’t found elsewhere.
M3710 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/29/20
Well produced, interesting stories. It’s addictive.
annikatjejen via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 09/27/20
I really fell in love with The Comb. While the Africa Today podcast offers factual news, the producers of The Comb go the extra mile to cover stories of the African continent that are not easily found in mainstream media. The Comb has greatly deepened my understanding of the African continent. I...Read full review »

Informative podcast focusing on real African issues.
vcx100 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 09/22/20
I enjoy decreasing my ignorance learning about the political structures and their histories of nations I couldn’t find on a map a year ago.
Thrak the Cyclops via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/20
I love the variety of stories and how succinct each episode is.
sena Frost via Apple Podcasts · Ghana · 09/19/20
An excellent podcast that offers a more in-depth analysis of stories important to Africa. I listen to this podcast alongside the BBC’s Africa Today podcast and find this one to offer more space to discuss, debate, and tell stories.
l.m.obrien via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/18/20
Love it and very happy it exists
CodyMW2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/20
I am very grateful to have more excellent African storytelling available!
raulrey0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/20
As a black woman with no direct connection to Africa, I feel like this allows me to feel like I am connected to my fellow black brethren.
joanlotoya via Apple Podcasts · Bahamas · 09/02/20
Diverse, interesting topics and voices makes this a delight to listen to- I can’t wait to listen to further eps!
