BodaTales: eMbozzi Za'aba Bodaboda

Bodatales Podcast

Boda Tales: eMbozi za BodaBoda is a documentary-style podcast sharing real, unfiltered stories from bodaboda riders in Kampala, Uganda. I ride with bodaboda riders across Kampala and listen to their stories. Embozi okuva ku bodaboda ezitambuza Kampala. Each episode is a raw conversation recorded on the move. For those new to the word, a boda boda is a motorcycle taxi, part transport, part culture, and a daily lifeline in Kampala. Real stories. Local voices. No filters. Hop on, hold tight, and enjoy the ride. Language: Luganda (with occasional English) Created and hosted by: Ritah Namaganda
