Adventures Reads is your portal to a world where stories come alive with a seductive twist. This community podcast is all about celebrating the rich and diverse tradition of oral storytelling while spicing things up with a mix of sexy, political, and downright thrilling content. Originally launched in 2022 to make our stories more accessible to visually impaired listeners, Adventures Reads has since grown into a fun, daring, and inclusive space for anyone who loves a good tale with a little edge.
Picture this: You press play, and immediately you’re swept into a narrative that could make you blush, laugh, or think about the world a little differently. Whether it’s a steamy story that gets your heart racing, a political discussion with sharp, clever insights, or a thrilling adventure that has you hanging on every word, you’re in for a ride. Reads takes our traditional African art of storytelling and gives it a modern twist, just for you.
Every episode is a surprise, designed to keep you guessing and entertained. We like to mix things up, just like life does! One episode might be full of passion and desire, exploring themes of love and sexual liberation that will make you swoon (or maybe fan yourself a little). The next could dive deep into thought-provoking topics like power, gender dynamics, or how tradition rubs up against modernity in ways you never saw coming. We promise to keep it fresh, fun, and always worth your time.
But here’s the thing: Adventures Reads isn’t just about entertainment. It’s also about making sure these vibrant stories reach everyone, especially those who haven’t always had access to them. By offering these stories in an audio format, we’re inviting listeners of all abilities to come along for the ride. After all, storytelling is for everyone, and we’re making sure no one gets left behind.
What makes Adventures Reads stand out? It’s not just the diversity of the stories or the boldness of the topics—it’s the way we do it. We invite novice and first time voice over artists to run this show. Adventures From the Bedrooms of African Women was created to give women and NBF a space to share in a non-judgmental space; so even if you’re new at writing or voice acting, we dey for you!
Ready for an adventure? Buckle up, because Adventures Reads is about to take you places you’ve never been, with stories you’ll never forget.
