The Chris Morgan Podcast
The Chris Morgan Podcast is a reflective, conversational podcast about life, leadership, governance, and human experience, told through the lens of a man who has lived and worked across Africa and beyond.
At its core, the podcast is about:
- Life stories & lived experience
Personal journeys from Wales to Africa, retirement, identity, culture, and how places shape who we become. - Public service, governance & economics (without politics)
Insights from years advising at the highest levels of government—focusing on efficiency, accountability, corruption, and economic growth in a practical, human way. - Africa & Eswatini in context
Honest reflections on African societies, culture, strengths, challenges, and why “Africa gets into your blood.” - Language, humour & storytelling
A love of words, wordplay, and gentle humour—ending each episode with a light joke or witty observation. - Wisdom without lecturing
Thoughtful perspectives shared as a weekly chat, not a sermon—inviting listeners to reflect, not be told what to think.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Chris Morgan Podcast.
Broadcast from a rainy day in Eswatini, Chris Morgan shares a warm, humorous, and reflective introduction to his life, his name, and his journey—from growing up in Wales to living and working across Africa, including Kenya, Botswana, Malawi, Ghana, and finally Eswatini.
In this episode, Chris talks about:
- His lifelong love of language and wordplay
- How Africa “gets into your blood”
- His years advising the Prime Minister’s Office in Eswatini
- Thoughts on governance, corruption, accountability, and economic growth
- Why he’s starting a podcast in retirement
This episode sets the foundation for a weekly chat filled with lived experience, thoughtful insights, and the occasional joke—because serious topics don’t always need serious delivery.
An experience. A view. And a joke to finish.
