This article identifies radio in Africa as an important social space for interrogating the everyday lives of its listeners. By focusing on a specific Kenyan radio play Not Now, the article explores the thematic concern of forced marriage and its moral implications on listeners. Importantly, Not Now is pointed out as part of a larger programme of radio drama in Kenya, Radio Theatre , which engages with issues of the quotidian. The debate on forced marriage is therefore a segment of themes explored in radio drama in Kenya that revolve around the domestic sphere and which eventually, it is argued, form part of the quotidian debate
