Host and founder of Afro-literary performance platforms, Sista Zai calls up the legendary Mad Professor for some advice. He shares stories about his own experience of establishing and operating Ariwa Studios, London's longest running Black-owned recording studio. Ariwa just turned 40 years old and it has not always been the easiest journey but it has worked out. Listen in for some stellar insights. As a special treat for the listeners and fans, Mad Professor sent through pre-lease tracks from his upcoming annual Mad Professor/Ariwa Riddim Series, due for release on 31 January 2020.

A special shout out to Sisters Akousmatica and Monah Arts Centre in Tasmania who commissioned this pilot episode as part of their pop up community radio station in Tasmania during December 2019.
