The Glide Podcast

It easy to feign strength when there's an audience. But you see it is truly Herculean to be true to oneself. As life ebbs and flows hardness, as much as bliss, is certain. So, it worth pondering, when one gets knocked down, what does one do? Does one keep fighting: blindly, numb to the darts heading to one's temple? Does one retreat to the safety of apathy avoiding every threat and semblan...

The art of play clearly teaches us that a seesaw is only fun when the pair seated on its extremities are willing to bear their own weight. So, what if masterful mentorship was the playmate to acute acquiescence? Right! It's about time to take off. Newbies, pay attention. Our glides go against the grain. Although our destination is certain, our routes are not predetermined. And so, on our way t...

There’s a strong correlation between the difficulty of a subject and the competence of the teacher. Think about it: maths was probably your bane until you met someone that knew what they were doing.  Bro, it’s about time for another glide. And we must say, we live for trips like this. You know, the ones with pit stops on subjects like masculinity, ego, and openness. The big question was, “Why is t...

People cling on to the status quo for dear life. We typically hold on to the bare minimum at our own expense. It’s easier to talk than move. And sadly, it feels like the more words spent, the heavier our legs become. Bro, monthly glides weren’t the plan. We promise. But hey, we’re just in time for our anniversary glide. Ready? Just ‘cause it felt like a restart, we thought to emphasise the import...

This is one more overlap between art and science. Who knew planar geometry and perspective shared the same DNA? Well, maybe you did. Good for you. For the rest of us just realizing, there’s much to learn here. After the long hiatus, our glide is back in service. All aboard!!! Though this flight led to the psychology of sight, our itinerary had a couple stops. The idea was very simple: examine majo...

Typically, it’s hard to see positives amidst stereotypical bad connotations. To help clarify this, some ideologues are of the opinion that every good thing has some bad in it, and every bad thing has some good in it. My man! Well, as always, it’s travel time. And we’d be traveling the planes of views. On our trip, we found that wisdom can embedded in the makeup of what most would rightly judge to...

You might have had the fleeting thought too. An experience you once had might have shaped your view on this. Honestly, that’s okay. We’d however like to opine that there’s another way to look at this. Hello! It’s the two both of us again. Welcome aboard. Please, sit back, relax and travel with us. Will you? On this trip, we tried to straighten things out. Tackling the biases, we tried examined the...

We have probably stretched this running analogy. It’s just hard to think of a better adjective for a concept like joy. And so, we beat this horse, and pushed it as far as we could. We call it the “great chase.” These seeming-solo sessions are growing on us. You? Well, as always, we travelled. This time it felt like a direct flight. A plain attempt to bring to surface this really deep discourse tha...

Everyone wants to be at the peak of their powers; pretty, posh, pristine, and potent. It’s no wonder even facades of this reality are so intriguing. And guess what, men may just be the most intrigued. This was another you-us session; just both of us, traveling. We were headed to debunking these facades, but we had many pitstops. From the merchandising of the alpha male to the harsh realities of ex...

Many thanks to Google for saving men from wandering in bushes. May we suggest that the next product be a map or some tracking system to greatness. Yes! Let’s just see where to go to blow! CEC joined us on the glide, and we travelled! We travelled through many thoughts in a bid to articulate how to navigate from dreamland to real life. We tried to define the gap, and show how to build the bridge be...

Something louder than an alarm has got to be getting you off your bed every morning. Sadly, most people only have alarms. What keeps you dreaming, yet wakes you up? This here, is a different kind of conversation. It’s a different kind of gist. For the first time we can say it’s just both of us, you and us, traveling. This was a proper sharing session. Our host basically walked you through an autob...

If only you knew what words we were talking about, maybe you’d be able to make sense of it. Well, you do know the words. You’ve heard them before: “Be”, “a”, and “man”. DR joined us on the glide, and boy did we travel! We travelled through many thoughts in a bid to understand the realities of manhood. We tried to unpack that heavy phrase. Summarily, men ought be signposts of leadership, responsibi...

One can only wonder why our pilot episode would be about toilets and washrooms. Well, this episode is more about the people that use these spaces. Nissi joined us on the glide, and we travelled! We travelled through many thoughts in a bid to articulate the similarities and differences between men and women past their biology. Everything can be summed up thus, “it’s complicated.” As different as we...
