Kenyan podcast Mic Cheque has suffered a major equipment loss after an unidentified individual accessed its tour bus and stole several expensive electronic gadgets during its university tour stop at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
The incident happened on Thursday, November 12, 2026, while the podcast crew was at the Juja-based institution for its campus tour.
The missing equipment includes three MacBook Pro laptops, one MacBook Air, an iPhone 13, eight solid-state drives (SSDs) and two sets of headphones.
The crew announced the theft through its official X account on Thursday evening, appealing to the public to help trace the missing devices.
“This afternoon at JKUAT for our university tour, someone accessed our tour bus and stole the items below,” the team stated.
The podcast then listed the missing equipment, including “3 MacBook Pros & 1 MacBook Air, 1 iPhone 13, 8 SSD cards, 2 headphone sets.”
The crew also shared a telephone number for anyone who might come across the devices or have information about their whereabouts.
“In case any of you see any of these items being sold anywhere, please call 0705540697,” the team appealed.
The four MacBook laptops account for a substantial portion of the missing gadgets. The team also lost eight SSDs, which production crews commonly use to store and transfer large audio and video files.
The incident disrupted the crew’s visit to JKUAT, where it had taken its university tour to engage students and interact with young creatives.
Mic Cheque Podcast features hosts Chaxy, Mwass and Mariah, who have built an audience through conversational discussions and entertainment content.
The campus tour provides an opportunity for students to interact with the presenters while taking part in activities centred on creativity, content production and networking.
The JKUAT stop was part of the podcast’s wider university engagement initiative. The team had also announced a subsequent stop at the University of Nairobi’s Taifa Hall on November 19.
Following the announcement, the crew urged members of the public to remain alert for anyone attempting to sell devices matching the descriptions of the missing equipment.
The appeal targets people who may encounter the gadgets through second-hand electronics dealers, online marketplaces or private sales.
