 Title: Boy Child with Franz OwanoEpisode Number: #18Guest: Franz OwanoRelease Date: 15th August 2025Description:On the show this week, we are joined by one of the leading African authors, Franz Owano, trailblazing the niche space of existential and metaphysical writing across the continent. Franz Owano, a trained medical doctor, graced us with his captivating presence and left us with more paradigm-shifting questions than answers. Franz takes us through his journey (3:54) from medical school to becoming a doctor and how that shaped his unique perspective (10:10) on literature and its impact on his first ten books. He reflects on his battle with the conventional literary publishing houses in Kenya (35:55) during his early days, and running into debt. He discusses his view on the world and queries the norms (50:12) of society, poking at the traditional tenets around religion, gender, race, ethics, and Pan-Africanism, juxtaposing every social parallel possible to give us an almost bird's-eye view of the paranormal landscape. He closes out by talking to us about his latest book, "Boy Child," and how the characters imitate real-life anecdotes. It's an episode for the ages! Enjoy the show! Key Takeaways:1. Are we in a matrix as humans, and if we are, why did the creator create imperfect beings only to punish them for not being perfect?2. There is no ideal metric for determining what a fulfilled life looks life after one's demise because impact is subjective 3. Who says good people can't do bad things and bad people can't do good things? We are all a compendium of good and evil because no one is devoid of the chance at redemption.Listen Now On:Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pocket Cast, Goodpod, Google Podcasts, Afripod, Jamit, and all DSPsConnect with Us:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NkemCreatives⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nkemcreatives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nkem Creatives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nkemcreatives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources & Mentions:Grab the Author's Book on Nuria⁠: ⁠Boy ChildGuest’s Publishing Social Media (IG): Wanderer's Path MagazineEpisode Credits:Episode Host: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anita Chinwendu Opara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio Producer & Writer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daniel Odia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Manager: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daniel Odia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show Owner: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nkem Creatives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nkem Creatives brings you insightful conversations that celebrate African storytelling and literature.
