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.
