Our mission: amplify African voices across the literary landscape. Whether you're an author, reviewer, reader, or book club owner, this is your space.

We go beyond the page to explore the people, places, and passions driving African literature forward through candid conversations with authors, editors, reviewers, bookstore owners, book club leaders, and digital creators reshaping how Africa reads and writes.

What We Explore:
a. Behind the Manuscript: How African authors craft stories that resonate locally and globally.
b. The Editor's Lens: What makes a manuscript shine and why editing is art.
c. Readers & Reviewers: The critics, fans, and influencers shaping book trends.
d. Bookstore & Bookclub Chronicles: The unsung heroes building reading communities from Cape Town to Cairo to Kinshasa.
e. The Business of Books: Publishing, distribution, and the future of African literature.

The African literary renaissance is here - and you're part of it. <br/><br/><a href="https://khardandkulture.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">khardandkulture.substack.com</a>]]></description><link>https://khardandkulture.substack.com/podcast</link><generator>Substack</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:22:31 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/8535972.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><author><![CDATA[Conversations with People Behind Africa’s Pages]]></author><copyright><![CDATA[Khard and Kulture Podcast]]></copyright><language><![CDATA[en]]></language><webMaster><![CDATA[khardandkulture@gmail.com]]></webMaster><itunes:new-feed-url>https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/8535972.rss</itunes:new-feed-url><itunes:author>Conversations with People Behind Africa’s Pages</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Over here, we discuss African literature with authors, influencers &amp; readers 🎙️Links to listen below</itunes:subtitle><itunes:type>episodic</itunes:type><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Conversations with People Behind Africa’s Pages</itunes:name><itunes:email>khardandkulture@gmail.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:category text="Arts"><itunes:category text="Books"/></itunes:category><itunes:category text="Fiction"/><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/8535972/5067bfdba3d4632b989ce0f52d3b7c44.jpg"/><item><title><![CDATA[Eps. #01 - Speaking with Odira on his Debut, ANOWERS]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi there!</p><p>We are starting with a bang on this podcast brought to you by The WILDKHARD Reading Club.
