Whispers And Growls

Introducing Wendy Okeke and her collection of poems: Grief's First Kiss Is An Avalanche.This is the first time I've sat down with an author/poet to go through their works. I've found this episode that much more profound whilst editing and reflecting on the passing of my own father, a few months after filming with Wendy.Find out more about her:https://www.wendyokeke.com/

I receive many requests to read from some interesting books in the Bible. Today I've got some help from the wonderful Idy Archibong to explore them.

You know I enjoy my song lyrics here and there. This time I have a guest with me...Nigerian Talent Dejo Osikoya joins me to break down a few songs he's enjoyed. I also give him a piece of some of my favourite lyrics. Oh! For the love of words. Listen as we also stray and talk through some philosophical matters, our approach to creativity and self-expression.

Another round of live requests, though this time I test out a new infrastructure.Sign up on my website as a writer to know when the new submission slots are availablehttps://michaeleok.com/
