A podcast by Kevin Mutiso
Let The Cake
Bake.
Long-form conversations with the people behind the work. Single guest, single take, no rush — operators, artists, and public servants on what they've actually learned.
The premise
African media increasingly rewards velocity over depth. Most conversations with the people doing the actual work get cut to a clip, a quote, or a panel where no one finishes a thought.
Let The Cake Bakeis the opposite — unhurried, single-take conversations about what people have actually learned. The cake metaphor isn't accidental: capitalism is no longer zero-sum. The aim is to build a bigger cake. Let it bake.
