Moses Otieno writes about Kenyan radio from the inside out. Based in Western Kenya, he covers the stations, stories, and people that make up Kenya's broadcast landscape — with a particular eye on community radio, vernacular broadcasting, and how radio continues to shape life in counties beyond Nairobi.

At radio.co.ke, Moses contributes guides and features on Kenya's radio industry — from how stations operate and earn, to the culture of breakfast shows, the role of community broadcasters, and the growing presence of campus and youth-led media. His writing draws on firsthand experience in student newsrooms, digital content production, and script writing for broadcast audiences.

As a writer from western Kenya this gives him a ground-level understanding of how journalism functions outside the capital. That perspective shapes everything he writes: radio as a public service, not just entertainment.
