This podcast episode is actually the culmination of a Radio Broadcasting class I took at Saddleback College in the Spring of 2022. My hope in taking the class was to improve my podcasting efforts. I’ll let you be the judge as to if a semester of 4 hours a week actually helped. My instructor asked me if I wanted to do an extra solo show that was not part of the class curriculum. I jumped at the chance. So this episode is the solo show that aired live on June 30, 2022 at 7 pm on www.jazz885.org. I added an intro, my promo clip, and edited down a few of the songs, but hopefully you’ll enjoy listening to some soukous (African Rumba) music, learning about the music genre, and also learning about and listening to some Zifa songs.
I also did a 30 minute radio/tv interview as a co-host in April 2022. Click on the video link:

Hi Jeff. Thanks for sharing. Seems your Professor instructed your voice to be more emotive. This Soukous music makes you want to get up and dance! The Swedish band Zifa’s singer sure has a high voice and a European techno beat. You organized a cohesive really cool show!
Hey Jeff
Nice job on being the M.C.
I didn’t realize that Kinshasa jazz was popular in most other Africa countries
Keep up the good work
I hope your kids and grandkids appreciate the time and energy out into this project
Very fun! Love your project. My college age daughter landed on your page somehow, recognized the dorm and shared it with me. Listening to your radio show and enjoying the music.
