Episode 3: Lüderitz

OLD: Sailing Tropical Dawn has moved!

This episode of our Tropical Dawn podcast is about the town of Lüderitz in Namibia we sailed to in our little boat, our adventures there and some of the people we met there, including a recording of part of the conversation we had with Andries/Eiitango Jetango. We edited the recording of our conversation because this episode is already quite long but we'll upload the whole recording here as a bonus to the podcast episode. According to Wikipedia Lüderitz population in 2011 was 12,537 people, so indeed a small town.The languages Eiitango Jetango mentions are his mother tongue Oshiwambo and his favourite language Khoekhoegowab which are two of the official languages of Namibia.News article about the Khoi and San activists in South Africa I mentioned briefly.The book Eiitango Jetango talks about but cannot exactly remember the title of is The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois.And the other one he mentions is The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.Content warning around 1 hours 13 minutes and 50 seconds some gruesome history, skip to 1h15m40s if this could trigger you, to avoid having to hear this, we’ve inserted a content warning in the recording so you you know where to skip forward. On the other hand, if you do want to know more about this part of Luderitz history, here’s a link to the Wikipedia article.
