Chizzi Podcast
Two Kenyan hosts riff on trending social media spats, celebrity news, and political drama with a heavy dose of street slang and humor.
This is a daily commentary podcast where two hosts break down the latest Kenyan social media drama. Using viral clips and tweets as their source material, they provide a running commentary that is part news recap, part comedy roast. The show is delivered in a fluid mix of English and Sheng, capturing the feeling of friends catching up on the day's gossip.
“The podcast's key distinction is its unapologetic focus on being an entertainment-first commentary on news, rather than the news itself. The hosts' blend of a veteran comedian's timing (Rapcha) and a community media founder's perspective (Jemo), all delivered in authentic Nairobi slang, sets it apart from more formal media analysis.”
