In this bonus episode, Wole and Tobi have a conversation about the reactions to the casting for the Little Mermaid by Disney, and the broader issue of fan-baiting - a form of marketing mostly used by producers and film studios, with the intent of exciting artificial controversy, garnering publicity and potentially explaining away the negative reviews of a new and often highly anticipated productio...

Let’s not even lie, things are currently peak moneywise. The reality of rising prices, economic downturns, and recessions are all terrible stressors that can have a negative impact on our well-being and livelihood. As if that’s not enough, the news constantly bombards us with unstable economic conditions, and this can create negative emotions of anxiety and stress. Even though difficult economic t...

Love, education, career, religion, & friendship. These five areas are strong pillars that have shaped many of us and shaped who we are becoming. In fact, many of us believe that winning to some degree in these five categories is what makes a good, successful, or happy life. Looking beneath the surface, however, presents us with the question of how decisions about matters relating to those differen...

We all know that person who wanted to be some kind of artist when they were younger. They had a strongly held belief that they could meaningfully participate in artistry as their life’s mission. However, as all young creatives with ambitions will ultimately realise, time, in the end, reveals whose path to artistry is destined, and whose inner drive for artistic ingenuity cannot be denied. But in t...

Our podcast is no stranger to the exploration of pre- and post-migration life stories. A while ago, we touched on this with a friend that migrated to Germany. On this episode, however, we turned our attention to a #migration destination that’s very common among us Nigerians, that is Canada. The common view that we often get of immigration to countries like Canada is as a comparison of two fixed po...

Cohabitation is a practice on the rise, particularly in the western world. It has become so prevalent that the majority of marriages and remarriages now begin as cohabiting relationships, and many young men and women are likely to have cohabited at some point in their lives. As you might imagine, cohabitation is not without its wicked problems. First, it does not help that in the eyes of the law,...

Once upon a time, we had little autonomy in our ability to pick potential partners or follow romantic interests, with the regulation of this ability laying in the hands of parents, politics, economics, and handshakes. Fast forward to a couple of decades, and the current norm is that most of us have autonomy in finding romantic interests. Yay🙂. Because of this autonomy, some individuals choose a s...

Have you met this person? He’s a man based on his age but a child based on his actions. The man wants your affection, but the child wants your sympathy; the man hopes to be close to you, but the child is scared to be touched. Heck, his body grows, but his mind does not. He's at a peak physically, but his mind is immature. He is a man-child and suffers from the Peter Pan syndrome (the magical boy w...

This episode arose out of our continuous desire to explore different systems of belief, and this time around, the focus for us was on Islam. We felt this conversation was important as many of us live in societies comprised of diverse religious landscapes, of which Islam is a key part. Looking at the facts, as of 2015, Islam was said to be the fastest-growing religion in the world and projected to...

We do not only like funny people; we love them! There's no doubt that humour plays a prevalent part in life. When things are bad, we use humour to give a voice to complex thoughts or emotions and to cope with challenging situations. Humour also helps ease tensions we face in awkward social situations; it helps us bond with people (We’ve all heard that joke about laughing all the way to... 🌚), and...

As many of you are aware, our world (mostly western tbh) is making strides every day in being more progressive and advanced. This shift from history to the future seems to be hinged on one issue in particular: #gender. The gender subject is one we can all agree to have permeated lots of domains, whether political or social, whether family or society, whether arts or commerce and the list goes on....
