Tamsier Joof and Demba Sene (members of The Seereer Resource Centre and presenters on Seereer Radio) were the interviewers. Other panel members included Professor Issa Laye Thiaw, Momodou Secka and Njaga Gaye. This interview was conducted at Saltigi Biram Puuy's house in Joobaas, Senegal. Apologies for the background noise from the other household members.

You can listen to the full version of this interview by visiting The Seereer Resource Centre and Seereer Radio's podcast pages - see links below. Saltigi Biram Puuy rarely give interviews and is now less active as a "Saltigi" (Seereer High Priest), preferring to focus his time and efforts on Seereer religion, culture and history. We were fortunate enough to have an audience with him. The SRC and Seereer Radio would like to thank him for his time and generosity. He prefer to give knowledge and expects nothing in return, and we are truly grateful for his wisdom, honesty and generosity.
