A Burst of Light: An ode to Audre Lorde
Hello Everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Episode 5 of Season 3 of Semiscribbled Podcast. In this episode, I talk about the book of essays A Burst of Light by Audre Lorde. This book also contains journal entries that describe her journey with liver cancer. These entries really moved me especially to think about fear and agency in the face of a devastating medical prognosis. Audre Lorde was a poet and this book as well as her interviews that are available on YouTube have convinced me to dabble more in reading that genre. This is the last episode of the season but will be back for more in 2023. Our editing maestro is THE Tevin Sudi. Please follow me on Twitter and Instagram (both @podcast_semi) I'd love to engage with you. You can also send me an email: semiscribbledpod at gmail.com

On Rotation aka "What is Romance?"
<p>Hello Everyone!</p> <p>Thank you for tuning in to Episode 4 of Season 3 of Semiscribbled Podcast.</p> <p>In this episode, I am falling into romance...get it? Lol. I talk about <a href="https://books.google.co.ke/books/about/On_Rotation.html?id=5DREEAAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y" target="_blank">On Rotation: A Novel by Shirlene Obuobi</a>. 2022 has been a rough year and I was looking for an escape from the usual tough, hard, challenging themes that this book delivered. It also goes with my own personal theme of the year on building community and working with a love ethic. The other themes: first-born African daughters who are raised to overachieve, discover themselves, freeing themselves from expectations are found within this book and were the perfect recipe for me. Also, what the avid romance readers and avid readers call spice was plenty! I recommend this read as we ease into the last quarter of this year. </p> <h1>The something-to-note section is also full of what I've been doing out and about Nairobi to do with books!

Anthills of the Savannah feat Sarah (The Bookcast Club)
<p>Hello Everyone!</p> <p>Thank you for tuning in to Episode 3 of Season 3 of Semiscribbled Podcast.</p> <p>This is my second episode with a Guest. In this episode, I am joined by Sarah of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bookcastclub/">The Bookcast Club</a>. Sarah and I take a deep dive into the Anthills of the Savannah by Chinua Achebe. AOTS is one of my favourite books of all time. It is election season in Kenya when this episode goes out so the themes in this book are fitting to discuss right now. I really enjoyed discussing the characters in this book especially and how they impacted us differently. Sarah was an awesome guest and you'll definitely understand why this is an hour-long episode once you start to listen.</p> <p>My <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/62-my-life-in-books-with-akinyi-semi-scribbled-podcast/id1229509259?i=1000549250334" target="_blank">episode on the Bookcast Club with Sarah</a>. </p> <p>Our editing maestro is THE Tevin Sudi.</p> <p>Please follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/podcast_semi" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/podcast_semi" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> (both @podcast_semi) I'd love to engage with you.</p> <p>You can also send me an email: semiscribbledpod at gmail.com</p> <p>In this episode:</p> <p>Music by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/coma-media-24399569/?tab=audio&utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=audio&utm_content=11254" target="_blank">Coma-Media</a> from <a href="https://pixabay.com/music/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=11254" target="_blank">Pixabay</a></p> <p>Music by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/tuesdaynight-24999875/?tab=audio&utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=audio&utm_content=12949" target="_blank">TuesdayNight</a> from <a href="https://pixabay.com/music/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=12949" target="_blank">Pixabay</a></p> <p>Music by <a href="https://pixabay.com/music/beats-lofi-rhodes-for-introoutro-0132-12949/" target="_blank">TuesdayNight</a> from Pixabay</p>
