Tate Brown is a presenter at Timcast. He joins me to discuss his travels across Africa.
To begin, I ask Tate how he got into media work. This leads to a discussion on the role mainstream figures, who are not fully aligned with the right, can nevertheless move things in the right direction. Tate and I then consider whether the online right’s adversarial nature comes with any downsides. We then switch gears to the main topic: Africa. How the hell did Tate get the idea to travel there? We learn that reading Bronze Age Mindset was a factor. Before landing in Kenya, Tate had a 30-hour layover in Qatar. What was that like? Tate explains that, having been to both Israel and Qatar, he’s a double agent. I desperately plead for the Qatari government to stop paying people to call me Jewish on Twitter. Toward the end of the first half, Tate tells us about his first impressions of Kenya – and the time Kenyan police mistook him for a Russian spy.
In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), Tate continues recounting his trip to Africa. After Nairobi, he went to Diani Beach, where locals and camels team up to mog unsuspecting travelers. During his attempt to cross the border to Tanzania, however, things took a turn for the worse. After a narrow escape, Tate made it to Malawi, which, he explains, was one of his favorite countries in Africa. Tate tells us about trying khat, a leaf people in Africa enjoy chewing as a recreational stimulant. Later, Tate tells us about what it was like to explore Zimbabwe and South Africa. Were they as rundown and unsafe as the internet would have you believe? Toward the end of the show, Tate offers some travel advice to younger guys eager for adventure.
