Coast-based journalists Medza Mwangemi and Salim Barisa have unveiled a new podcast, MNB LENS, designed to spark candid conversations on politics, sports, and social issues in Kenya.

A Platform for Real Conversations
According to the duo, the podcast will deliver in-depth discussions, interviews, and analysis that touch on the everyday lives of Kenyans.
"Kila wiki tunakuletea mijadala ya kweli, mahojiano na uchambuzi wa mambo yanayogusa maisha yetu moja kwa moja," the statement from MNB LENS read.
The podcast’s official profile further describes it as a space that “breaks down politics, sports, and social issues with sharp insights and real conversations. From the latest headlines to the stories shaping our society, this is your space for bold, fresh, and thought-provoking talk — yani ‘REAL TALK BILA FILTER.’”
Politics, Sports, and Society
The show promises to dive into three central themes:
Politics: Exploring policies, leadership, and the future of the country.
Sports: Celebrating victories, analyzing challenges, and spotlighting talent.
Society: Addressing overlooked yet vital community issues.

A Journey for Change
The hosts describe the podcast as more than entertainment — it is a platform for reflection and real impact.
