Three writers; Ndugu Abisai, Eddy Ashioya and Brian Mbanacho, reminisce about the paths they initially took before they started writing. They are stories of failure, yes, but they are also stories of resilience and the unwillingness to give up. Storytelling box-office, admission covers the entire seat but you'll need only the edge.

When You Live in Westy but Tabia ni za Western #Ep23 ft Doktari Ken #SambararishaMoyoWanguEdition 29.07.2024

It is not enough to say that two men are mad when they spend two hours of airtime talking about the madness in our nation. We will let you listen in and hear our thoughts on this week's episode. Eddy Ashioya and Brian Mbanacho missed this episode. So, you most likely will not hear anyone talking about chapatis or Lavingware.

Does a donkey have an Ass? ft Doktari Ken #PundaIliliaEdition #Ep22 22.07.2024

Good people, Ndugu hasn’t been the same since he got teargassed a few weeks ago. We are receiving info from his mamaa that he is now insisting on drawing a short thick line under his eyes with colgate before going to bed, for he fears a teargass carnister can find its way to his bedroom while sleeping. None of us could reach him on Friday. Daktari Ken came to studio and told us we should not marry...

Ati Buffalo ni Ng'ombe Gangstar ft Doktari Ken #Ep22 #MaandamanzEdition 16.07.2024

The DCI had an open position for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were completed, they had narrowed the field down to 3 possible agents. For the final test, the DCI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. 'We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.' Inside the room you will find your wife...

Call Me Linus 'cause I wanna Lie With You #Ep21 #BaddieBaddieRebellion 01.07.2024

We thank Linus, or LiNUs, as the president kept calling him, for doing the Lord’s work. We also thank Lattif and Ageyo for the same, but the question we were all hoping they would ask Mr. President is why would the police tear-gass a baddie. We as the podcast cannot move on until we get an answer to this question. One because our audience is almost exclusively made up of baddies and two because we...

How do you Teargas a Baddie? #Ep20 #BaddieEdition 24.06.2024

It's good to be a baddie. Look, we as the Podcast are #ProMaandamanz and we thank God for eyes. Because the baddies in this revolution are good. My God. Yahweh let your name be praised. The police teargassed the baddies but I was the one crying—tears, tears not out kf teargas but the baddies suffering. God bless the baddies. In this episode, we vehemently oppose anyone who is not on the streets. Y...

She took my Hat and broke my Heart. #Ep19 #HurtfulEdition 18.06.2024

There is a godfather hat that Brian pledges allegiance to. He got it from Muthurua Market days before he joined campus. This together with his bell-bottoms won him his first girlfriend on campus. These, and dancing(and if you know Brian, and know dancing, you know Brian and dancing do not fit in a sentence). On this episode, we talked about Brian's hat and his trousers. And his girlfriend who took...

Me Si Player but nitakupea Ball #MessiEdition ft Eddy #Ep18 10.06.2024

Eddy sounded so wise on Friday's recording, which means one of these things must have happened during his one month hiatus: 1. He got someone pregnant. Nothing sobers you up than the, "We need to talk," phone call that usually precedes the pregnancy news. You suddenly become wise and knowledgable about cycles and false-positives and the need to not take the test in the morning because of HCG level...

If you give the Devil his Due, how much is the Devil's Advocate Paid? #Ep17 #ShetaniEdition 28.05.2024

You Only Live Once. Unless encountered with something bigger than the self, few people look forward to die. So, the antonym of that YOLO statement is a truth that is barely mouthed. Because of why? Because even though death is certain, it is living that mostly interests people. On this episode we discovered that had the devil succeeded with his plans, we wouldn't have lived past 2015. That is to s...

Can Your Aunt Wear Ankle Socks? #Ep16 #PodcastEdition 20.05.2024

Ndugu and I have been secretly wondering if Eddy’s don’t touch pants are a cry for help. Whether he has been trying to tell us something but we haven’t been paying attention. To get to the bottom of this, Ndugu has been interviewing psychiatrists and mental health experts for the Business Daily, trying to find out from them whether tiny don’t touch pants are a sign to look out for when you suspect...

To Define is to Limit #Sn8Ep15 ft Eunniah Mbabazi #UnanigetEdition 07.05.2024

We started this show at 12 noon because we were afraid of the rains. That was one hour before our usual call time. The country's main weather man was on every TV giving a gloomy forecast and knowing we have women to love and fans to please, it would be in our best interest and that of those we have mentioned to not die--not just yet. We brought in, Kenyan-based international writer, the great Eunn...

Marriage huitwa Pingu za Maisha Because Kila Siku Utapewa Kamiti #Sn8Ep14 ft Doktari Ken kwa Umbali 29.04.2024

Ndugu is not sleeping well. He is having nightmares about drowning. The floods have brought back memories of when he was living in Kariobangi, forgot to close the tap only to wake up and find everything in his suspicious bedsitter floating in a pool Of water. We spent the better part of Friday assuring him that he is okay now. Eddy, who lives by the side of a river, not to be confused with Riversi...

If You want to be Treated Right, Date a Doctor #Sn8Ep13 ft Doktari Ken #PatientEdition 22.04.2024

So apparently before Brian had the ambition to become a musician, he wanted to be an entrepreneur, which is why he invested a lot of money (read, a thousand bob) with his cousin into a chicken business. He was in high school then, already seeing dreaming big, planning to supply all restaurants in Bungoma with chickens and eggs, that until his cousin decided to Murife with the money and he still bi...

Collapsed Doggy si Mbwa Kali #Sn8Ep12 ft Doktari Ken 15.04.2024

The main question we could not answer or come to an agreement in this episode is only one: In the doggy position, who is the DOG? This question needs an answer. What do you think?

Tuko Close but si kwa Closet #Ep11 ft Doctari Ken #ComingOutEdition 08.04.2024

With the doctors prolonged strike, we brought in our resident doctor. Daktari wa miti, the bother brother from Kitui Ken to fill in(pun?) the gap(too soon?). Daktari posed a medical question to us, ukifanya DNA after 18 years upate watoto si wako utado? The medical part is the DNA bit. The utado part is more social than medical. Given that you thought ulido na kumbe si wewe ulido, we split opinion...

Hatujaenda New York but tumebreak egg tukapata New Yolk #MissedYouEdition ft Ed X Ndugu #Ep10 26.03.2024

So Eddy went missing for two weeks and when he came back, he asked if we would be okay with watching two men kiss live-live. I quickly said I would not be okay and asked we remain professional because I thought he was about to kiss Ndugu. Ndugu also quickly looked away and declared he has a woman that he loves very much. “Eddy, love is love, but that’s not why we started this podcast!” Turned out...

Sina Madam #Ep9 ft Eddy X Ndugu 18.03.2024

By now it’s an open secret that if you can’t chew gum like you are possessed, no one will hire you as their receptionist or M-Pesa lady. Chewing gum calmly is a sign you are a weak person who doesn’t have what it takes to be mean to people. No one will hire you either if you are ever smiling and eager to help others. That kind of good-heartedness is highly frowned upon in these two noble professio...

Wamama ni Wasichana wa Jana #Ep8 ft No Eddy #FoMenNismEdition 11.03.2024

You know this Podcast is toxic when Ndugu decides to celebrate himself on International Women's Day for being the only boy in his high school to successfully excel both in academics and in his romantic relationship. He was doing so well the school asked him if he would temporarily take over as the school principal so he can show the real principal how proper leadership and excellence looks like. M...

Decentering The 'Men' in Fe-Men-Ist #Ep7 ft La Patrona X Karambu #GlobalSouthEdition 04.03.2024

Because we are risk takers, we hosted La Patrona on the podcast where she proceeded to strangle Eddy with her big brains and English, using words like 'decentering men' and 'global south' and 'food sovereignty,' and by the time she was done Eddy wanted his mother. Ndugu, upon learning La Patrona was coming, immediately developed a stomachache and rushed to the hospital, even though sources closer...

Kwani What's Wrong with Kawangware? #Ep6 ft Diana Mosoba X Serena Karis X Artty #OmboronyoEdition 27.02.2024

If you were in the studio with us for this week's episode, you'd agree that it is upon us to adopt this credo, that no caption can best describe Diana Mosoba. Or some of Diana Mosoba's preternatural ideas about Luo Men, or Luo Men that are mechanics or mechanics that identify as Luo Men. But a caption however uncalled for is important. The main take home from this episode is that as a woman, if yo...

That's Not Nice at All #Ep5 ft Upendo Nice #DeluluIsTheSoluluTrululu 19.02.2024

Upendo Nice had a boyfriend cut himself for her because a tattoo was not enough. If Jesus could take three nails for us, what is a knife to a man? So we asked her, "Ama alikuwa anakukatia?" I think she cut us off after that joke. She didn't laugh at that joke and that's how we knew mapenzi yao ilikuwa ya kukata na shoka. Enjoy!

Destroy Me Master #Ep4 ft Sarah & Sarah #YeastEdition 12.02.2024

What happens when you get a yeast infection? I don't know. But it can affect how you go and get your daily bread. Poor joke aside, in this episode, we delve into all matters vagina, and boy, we shut our lips as Sarah and Sarah educated us.

But What Do Women (not) Want? #Ep3 ft Emperor Haze #GenZEdition 05.02.2024

It is tempting to think of seasons in terms of mangos. In fact whenever people say they are in a certain season, I like to ask but I don't get to, if those people are mangoes. But it is pointless to ask a human if they are a mango unless you want to squeeze them for juice which is not what happened in this episode. Disclaimer: NOBODY WAS HURT DURING THE RECORDING LF THIS EPISODE. We had a young ma...

What Do Men Want? #Sn8Ep2 ft Ndugu Abisai #Don'tLeaveMeEdition 30.01.2024

But seriously, what do men want? Me I know I want you. Lakini, wewe do you want me? Should we risk? Unaeza nitaka nikikutaka? In this episode we welcomed back Ndugu Abisai, who has shaved his head (the one on top) (of his shoulders). Why would anyone ever leave anyone?

The Vibes Were Immaculate ft New Year #Season7 #ResolutionEdition 22.01.2024

Boy, aren't we happy to be back? In fact, the less we speak the better. This year we identify as Gen Z. Anyone older than twenty-something is hithero referred to as a sponsor of the podcast, to the podcast and for the podcast. So open up your wallet, mubaba and mumama. We missed you! Karibuni!!

Podcast with a Goodbye 28.12.2023

You thought we would leave you without one final episode to keep you drooling? Did you and your family have a merry christmas? We pray that the new year 2024 brings you and your loved ones and even enemies — because they have to see what the Lord is doing for you — good tidings. Enjoy!
