The Gist - Funny You Should Mention…Again – Django Gold

Django Gold is a stand-up comedian, a former writer for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and a veteran of The Onion. In his stand-up special "Bag of Tricks," he explores not being cool, show-off toilet seats, and the privilege of owning multiple pairs of scissors. His comedy has been described as "cynical and bizarre" but also "surprising, insightful and properly deranged." We discuss the right amount of weird to present to the audience without seeming too weird, and the evolution of the archetype of nerd to IT guy to incel.


Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Consider This from NPR - Jimmy Carter’s complex legacy

Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100.

He was the nation's 39th president, in office from 1977 to 1981.

He will of course be remembered for his accomplishments in office. But also for all that he accomplished in the four decades after he left the White House.

Host Andrew Limbong speaks about Jimmy Carter's legacy with two NPR journalists who have covered the White House for years: national political correspondent Mara Liasson and senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith.

Focus on Africa - Who is behind the abduction of youths in Kenya?

More than 80 people have been abducted over recent weeks in Kenya, sparking a rise in public anger and more protests on the streets. But why are the kidnappings happening and who is being targeted? We talk to our reporter in Nairobi who has been following events.

Also in this episode, we hear about the journeys of African migrants from West Africa to the Canary Islands, the painful realities that push them away from home, and the dangers that come with crossing the Atlantic ocean.

And we hear from Cape Verde on how the country has managed to transform its agricultural sector after years of a severe drought left it struggling to survive. Could Cape Verde be a model for other African countries?

Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Nyasha Michelle, Victor Sylver and Bella Hassan in London. Susan Gachuhi in Nairobi Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Technical Producer: Philip Bull Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi

Those are among the books that our expert readers will review in our look back on notable works by Indigenous authors.
