I said this the moment I watched the first episode 💯

[@douglaskiambi1785]

There is a university in the states who are using CTA as source material for their studies. What Richie is doing is epic and will be talked about in legendary terms when the story of Kenya's entertainment industry is written.

[@Victoria-zf8re]

Just lovely. All those who have taken up the invite to do CTA including Jimmi continue to inspire us all. Please try and get Dennis Mugo to tell his story as well.

[@cyrusnjuguna711]

I like the return of the backstory,where when the interviewee says something,you go to the archives and bring another person's colloboration.LOVELY

[@Wanairobi]

Kudos to your team. The editing work done here 6:31 is top notch and seamless. One moment I was watching the Jimmi Gathu interview, the next I was watching Eric Wainaina's. Please let them know that CTA fans appreciate their hard work 💯

[@elphraizer]

This particular CTA is a diamond of gems

[@curtisbuluma2550]

I like where Jimii says, "this would have been us" 10 years previous they had the opportunity to pave way & open the gates for local artistes on TV but someone "feared" to take the risk. This interview has made me appreciate Jimmy Gathu even more for his creativity & foresight. CTA is more than an interviews. These are rich historical archives that will be appreciated by the next generations as A-star well said at the beginning of this conversation!

[@ayotadhiambo]

The passion and the love that Jimmi Gathu had then for the Kenyan Music Industry is MINDBLOWINGLY AMAZING!
