The 30 Percent Podcast is a podcast that focuses on the Kenyan music industry. The name is derived from the astonishing stat that between 30% - 40% of music played on Kenyan radio stations is Kenyan. Our goal is to see this percentage go up significantly. We will also broadly discuss global music industry trends and contextualize them through the lens of two music producers based in Kenya.
