#22 Behind the scenes with the award-winning podcast team
Episode 22 now live
This week a tropical garden in suburban Makindye, Kampala, Uganda is the location
for a conversation with my sound recordist Bryan Kisembo Delon. In Episode 22,
Bryan swaps his headphones for a mic to share his experiences on the award-
winning East Africa Travel Podcast:
– What are the challenges of recording in the wild?
– Who were his favourite guests from season one?
– Why we are venturing beyond borders to Mombasa and Diani in Kenya.
– What it means to have won the African Travel and Tourism Association (ATTA)
Media for Action Award.
Join me, Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu, as we giggle over
season one blips – not forgetting the squirrel that jumped out of the toilet!
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes where we swap notes with Kenyan travel writer
Harriet Owalla; explore religious tourism with Nigerian Ikechi Uko, and hear how
social media inadvertently promotes the illicit wildlife trade with the World Parrot
Trust.
