Looking Back

So around June of this year I got this great idea of having my own radio station. A place that I was going to use to agitate for political and social issues that affect our country Kenya, our continent Africa and more so our lives here in the Diaspora. To be honest it has been quite a journey and it as also been very exciting to say the least. I have not only managed to learn a couple of crafts like sound engineering, web design, script writing, marketing and promotion among other things. But one common theme that ties all those together is that this new journey is much more demanding than I ever envisioned.

I am glad that I have some very good able partners during this journey, Mel and Man Solo. When I thought about this idea initially I knew immediately that I will have to surround myself with people that I not only trust but can be able to give a 100% once they commit and I am so glad how things have turned out. It has been exactly 72 days since we first launched the Truthsayer show on September 9th of 09. Yes the proverbial 9/9/09 at 9pm date. So far we have been able to produce a weekly show ever since then despite of the challenges that have been our way. Some of them are comical as one night getting to the studio to realize that our electricity had been disconnected. By the way that was 2 hours before we had to go live. We still managed to not only produce the show but it was a very good show.

I think the big reason why we are still doing this day in and day is mainly because of our loyal fans, some who have never missed a single show. Some of them have actually become our advisers on content and we have been reaching out to them regularly to seek out their valuable opinion. I will not mention them by name but we are forever thankful.
The three of us are planning to start blogging and discussing about our growth and our future as we keep on agitating for the change that we believe in.

To steal the famous words of the current president of the United States campaign slogan..... Yes we can!!!
