Episode 34: The OV Setlist 2.0 Revision

With The OV Setlist returning this Sunday, 3rd May, this episode revisits key conversations from the first edition held in November 2025. Originally shared across two separate episodes, one focused on music (EP 25) and the other on events (EP 26), the discussions are now brought together in one place as a recap and reset ahead of the next live session. This episode looks back at the standout songs, releases, performances, collaborations, and moments that shaped the previous edition, creating context for where the conversation now moves next. The upcoming edition of The OV Setlist will focus on January to April 2026, picking up from where the last session left off and continuing the reflection on Kenya’s music and events landscape through community conversation, live insights and shared perspectives.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
