@David: Whenever people write in Kiswahili, I normally go and edit the comment and do the translation myself. I don’t know if you knew this, but I was a Strath guy too who probably wouldn’t have achieved as much as those cats.
She is a pretty remarkable person. Who knows, when you get accepted in, I may be interviewing you (if you’re busy schedule will allow )

To Tabitha: Congrats a lot. Especially for beating me in the ALA entrance and The ABC programme.

To Mwangi: really, I thinks it’s Okay for Rags to mix languages if she feels free to do so provided that she translates as she has done above.

Thumbs up again Tabitha! And Sam Gichohi and John Gitau(the strath guyz)!

@everyone: Please refrain from using Kiswahili or any other languages other than English so we can make the comments as accessible to all as possible.

@rags: Indeed, a lot of the time, one can make the case that getting old is synonymous with emotional death, fear and the erosion of any grandiose dreams one may have once had.

I think I shared this with you previously what I do:
a) I use Skype (which you can get here: http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2917978-10482120 ) together with a software called Pamela Voice Recorder (which you can get right here: http://www.pamela-systems.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=528 )
b) I edit the sound with free open source software audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/)

Sup mwangi! I listened to the podcast and I must say that I wish Tabitha all the best in her maisha (life). As she was talking, I kept on hoping that as she never looses hope coz as you well know, the older we get the less determined we are to dream and take risks. Thanks for the podcast.

As far as the technical aspect is concerned, you did a good job. I have a swali (question), what method do you use to record yourself and the people you interview so that you can weka them on a podcast? Oh yeah, thanks for subscribing to my youtube thingi!
