Nobody Asked Us. We’re Telling You Anyway.

Meet Dr. Shiku and Dr. Akinyi: two Kenyan surgeons, one microphone, zero topics off-limits. Here’s what the Unsolicited Health Podcast is all about.

Show notes

Two surgeons walk into a recording studio. That’s it, that’s the joke. Also the podcast.

We have spent years in theatres, wards and outpatient clinics across Kenya, and we keep hearing the same thing: “Daktari, I didn’t want to ask, but…” This show is for everything that comes after the but.

What to expect

  • Myth busting: from “piles come from sitting on hot stones” to “you can’t get pregnant on your period”.
  • Demystifying the system: SHA, hospital bills, second opinions and how to actually talk to your doctor.
  • The taboo stuff: sex, periods, poop, mental health, cosmetic surgery. If your aunties whisper about it, we’re saying it into a microphone.
  • Experts on call: when it’s outside our lane, we bring in someone whose lane it is.

New episodes drop every other Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify and everywhere you get podcasts.
