THE SIMPLY GOSPEL SHOW By Sarah Kaironge God willing. I am also a volunteer at Mojatu Foundation in the Human Resource department. Above all, I am a born-again believer. Am the last born in a family of six siblings. I was privileged to grow up listening to different genres of music such as country, R&B, blues and reggae, and this informs my love for and ability to enjoy the different genres music. About the show. The Simply Gospel Show is a prerecorded gospel show which first aired on FMB Radio on Monday 3rd of May 2021. The show plays a mix of different gospel music genres such as hymns, praise & worship, gospel rock, gospel reggae, blue grass/ country gospel, African gospel music and more, with a goal of sharing and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through the word of God and the music. About the host of the show Hello! Am your host, Sarah Love. Currently am a stay-at-home mum of one beautiful, super-energetic, talkative, and curious munchkin, her name is Sasha Blessing Amor. She’ll be turning 3 in September,
At school, the extra-curricular club activities I enjoyed the most and took part in without hesitation were in public speaking, debate, and drama (play acting). While watching or listening to the presenters of the kids shows I loved, I would really desire to be like them. Unfortunately, because I did not know how to go about it or anyone who could guide me, this never came to pass. But this desire was always deep in my heart even into my adulthood. As mentioned earlier, I volunteer at Mojatu Foundation, and it was at one of the online staff meetings that it was mentioned that FMB radio was looking for people to do radio jingles or have ideas of what new shows that can be incorporated. I jumped at the opportunity and said I had an idea for a gospel show,
even though I have no qualification or experience. After an online interview with the FMB radio station director, Ms. Anna N, I presented my idea and concept. She was reassuring and has been instrumental in helping me shaping the show’s format. Looking back to look forward Looking back, the first show was on the theme of the holiness of God and so I made a playlist of songs that spoke to this. I can honestly say that I was a nervous wreck! The voice recording was poor because I had the microphone far from me while recording and the script was short because I was unsure of what to say. I did not know the best way on how to introduce a song. Over time, I have learned how to hold the microphone close, so the voice recordings are clearer and loud enough and also how to write the script the best I know how. It is a learning process every single time really. In future, the show will host different Christian faith leaders who will both teach on the word of God and discuss topical issues that a believer faces in their day-to-day life.
SUMMARY OF MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSIONS WITH MY FRIEND By Anna Nagy This limited podcast series at FMB Radio was created specifically for Mental Health Awareness week back in May. Anna, one of our radio presenters gathered some of her friends to discuss how they are coping with life and how their mental state is. In the first episode Marina, Anna’s current university friend talked about her coping routine of listening to ocean’s sounds and how that can help her go through difficult days. Marina further explained her current situation at the university and the podcasts that she listens to in order to learn more about selfawareness, vulnerability and selfcare. They go on to discuss what
being introverted really means and the importance of figuring out what works the best for you in regards to your individual mental health journey. In the next episode, Nina joined Anna to share what happened to her in the last months and how she could manage to succeed in both academic and professional life while maintaining a health amount of socializing. She shares that what truly helped her overcoming every obstacle is daily mediation and taking some minutes to be in peace with the moment. Learning from these two episodes, the creator hopes that people will see how natural it can be to talk about mental health and highlights the importance
of reaching out to your loved ones. You can listen to these podcasts on FMB’s Anchor page: anchor.fm/ fmb-radio
