‘After the End ' has an intriguing opening line. The opening sentence, Yishau later revealed in the riveting chat we had with him, is a deliberate attempt to draw readers in. Welcome to the scandalous, polyamorous world where Demola leads on two women and Yishau serves us the right dose of suspense and secrets. This episode is almost chaotic- in a good way. There was so much to talk about as we explored the deeply flawed nature of humans through the eyes of those affected by the misadventures of the main character.…

Our guest, Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi is one of the few authors of romance novels from Africa- Nigeria to be precise. Loved by a burgeoning community of hopeless romantics who enjoy her writing for its resonance, Adesuwa has indeed carved a niche for herself in a genre that is somewhat perceived with levity on the continent. In this episode, we focus on her novel ‘The Marriage Class’- a multifaceted take on love, commitment and the myriad of challenges sometimes surrounding it. The characters in this book will make you feel different emotions and ask pertinent questions on the matters of the heart. Enjoy!…

This episode is one to remember for the candid conversation and insight we gleaned from our guest. Author, 'Where is your wrapper?', Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi is more than just the former first lady of a south-western state in Nigeria. She is one of Africa's most vocal feminists and gender equality advocates. It was quite hard choosing which essays to focus on from her riveting collection. From politics, to the impactful work she does in Africa to shift the narrative on gender issues, this episode felt like a passage of invaluable experience from one generation to the next. We hope you enjoy listening and find 'Where is your wrapper?' worth reading.…

I do not come to you by chance is one of those African fiction books, we’d recommend in a heartbeat.

Published in 2009 and soon to hit the big screen as an executively produced film by Genevieve Nnaji, we’re delighted to have Adaobi as our guest in this exciting episode. We talked about why she chose to write about a theme that reflects poorly on Nigeria and so much more. Enjoy!…

At the worth reading podcast, our strong commitment to promoting an egalitarian society runs deep. Hence, our focus on spotlighting African literature at its finest. It is only right that the Black History Month does not go by without us commemorating it. To help us do justice to this year’s BHM theme is our guest Ola Awonubi - author of A Nurse’s Tale. This episode is a special one as we explore the theme of the 2023 BHM- Saluting our sisters. We also compare racism during WW2 and modern times.
