Radiobook Rwanda 2018

A new multimedia literary imprint, showcasing Rwandan and East African creative voices.

 

RadioBook Rwanda is comprised of three innovatively-designed ‘radiobooks’. This first wave of radiobooks features the work of one writer and one artist. The accompanying podcasts act as the expanded universe of the book. They feature dramatised narrations of the text, as well as interviews with the writers, artists and and individuals exploring similar themes to those found in the stories.

 

Listen to Radiobook Rwanda

There are nine tracks to choose from. The dramatised narrations of the text are available in English and Kinyarwanda. The thematic podcasts are in English.
