Once formally welcomed into the village, this episode moves deeper into the living culture of the Senufo people in northern Côte d’Ivoire, where tradition is not performed for visitors but protected through protocol, elders, sacred spaces, and customs that give the community its structure and meaning. Alongside these traditions comes a powerful lesson in everyday innovation, from tradi...

In this episode, my journey through Côte d’Ivoire takes me into one of the most intimate experiences of the tour so far: a traditional village connected to the Senufo people in the country’s north, where you quickly realise that you do not simply arrive and wander in like your GPS has diplomatic immunity. Here, there is a process — a greeting, permission, and respect. You&r...

The Team battles it out in a game to see who remembers what happened this week.

The Côte d’Ivoire tour heads north to Korhogo, where the pace, landscape, and culture of the country begin to shift in powerful ways. Guiding this part of the journey is Ahmed, who introduces listeners to the cultural heartbeat of the Senufo region through the people, traditions, and daily life that define the city. As he walks through Korhogo’s markets, food culture, craft tradi...

The Côte d’Ivoire tour arrives at one of the country’s most extraordinary landmarks: the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro.

Through his lens, listeners gain a deeper understanding of how Iv...

Nick Hamman wants to see where people that listen to 5 Breakfast have been to in Africa.

Nick has made his way to Grand-Bassam, a coastal city with history in its walls, salt in the air, and the kind of old-world charm that immediately tells you: this place has seen things. Grand-Bassam brings a different kind of rhythm. Slower. More ceremonial. More reflective. The kind of place where you don’t just arrive, you are received. Formally introduced and welcomed at the Mayor’s...

Nick found himself in the middle of the city’s street energy - food, noise, colour, people, movement - and somewhere between soaking up the atmosphere and pretending to be a man of the peo- ple, he decided he needed a football jersey.

Nick Hamman arrived in San Pedro  and somehow found myself in conversation with Miss San Pedro, which is exactly the kind of thing that only happens when 5 Breakfast goes on tour.

HEADLINE: MAN USES PENIS TO [BLANK] DOWN THE STREET. Presented by Thabo, this segment delivers a humorous and unique take on the weird, wacky, and risqué news of the day. It adds a playful twist to current events, making news consumption entertaining
