Our favorite culture critic and podcaster, Sarah Ozo-Irabor, is back with Season 2 of Books & Rhymes: The Podcast!
Books & Rhymes: The Podcast is all about amplifying African literature by pairing stories, characters, and literary themes with music. Expanding from the Instagram review platform of the same name, the podcast launched in 2019 and became an instant hit with Ozo-Irabor’s playful interview style and hit guests such as Namwali Serpell, Oyinkan Braithwaite, and Chiké Frankie Edozien.
The podcast can be found on several listening platforms including Spotify, iTunes, and Google Podcast.
Season 2 of Books & Rhymes launched on July 13. This season opens with three guests from the 2020 AKO Caine Prize Shortlist.
