In episode 316 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Brian Kapuku.
Brian Kapuku is the man behind ‘Read with Kapz’, a book review social media platform he runs, which has amassed over 33,000 followers on TikTok and over 41,000 followers on Instagram in just a year and a half, when he set it up in January 2024.
We first checked in with Brian all the way back in July 2020, in JCIP #44! We discussed his experience of being bullied in secondary school, racism and his journey in law up to that point.
In Part 2, we discuss the incredible rise of Read with Kapz and how he’s grown the platform, his favourite books he’s reviewed, what he loves about reading and some of his favourite pieces of feedback he’s had from his followers.
For Brian’s continued mental health journey, we discuss how he adjusted to the new world after the Covid-19 pandemic and his engagement to his fiancé in August 2025.
As always, #itsokaytovent
