Africa's lows and highs in 2020 & the promise of the new year
The Covid-19 crisis has been the big story of 2020 but how has Africa handled the pandemic, and amid the serious set backs have there also been some digital and technical gains? What opportunities will the African Continental Free Trade Area bring after it comes into effect in January 2021? How can Africa take charge of its own climate change policies? And is the continent ready for the fourth Industrial Revolution? These are some of the questions that the guest panel of Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Rebecca Enonchong, Professor Ken Opalo and Professor Landry Signé address with presenter Dickens Olewe as they look back at the issues and trends in Africa over the past year, and discuss what 2021 might bring. This episode was first broadcast on the BBC Africa Today podcast

Special podcast episode: Ory Okolloh and Nanjala Nyabola
So a couple of weeks ago I tried to bring together three of my favourite Kenyans for a special podcast episode. Well, I managed to get two - Ory Okolloh, a well known commentator on matters Kenya, and Nanjala Nyabola, writer and political analyst. We talked about activism, tech, politics, the media in Africa and much more. It's a really good listen. I also managed to speak to Nanjira Sambuli - my other favourite Kenyan - so watch out for that episode as well.

Interview with China's ambassador to Kenya
China is Kenya's biggest trading partner but the East African country has been borrowing a lot from the Asian giant to fund its infrastructure projects, this has created a lot of concern that Kenya is borrowing beyond its means. I asked China's Ambassador to Kenya, Wu Peng about the funding for the second phase of the Standard Gauge Railway - China's largest funded project in the country- whose viability is being questioned. The interview also covers debt trap diplomacy, funding for the Lamu coal power plant, trade imbalance and more.
