“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 »

“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.”

“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 »

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 »
