God Abeg: A Nigerian Economy Story
This week, it’s just Dami and Isaac for a much needed rant. They discuss the current state of the Nigerian economy and what it really feels like to be a young person trying to survive it. From the rising cost of food, fuel, and basically existing, to the everyday adjustments people are forced to make, they unpack the frustration of it all. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without calling out our leaders for their nonchalance on the economy.

Men & Insecurity 101 Ft Steve Chuks
We’re joined by Steve Chuks — actor, host, and content creator — for a conversation centered on insecurities among men and how they show up in everyday life. We unpack the pressures men face when it comes to appearance, success, and expectations, and the things they feel the need to compromise or hide in order to fit into society’s idea of what a man should be. From physical attributes to financial status, nothing was off-limits. We also touch on the “anyhowness” of Nigerians — how certain attitudes and behaviours can sometimes reinforce these insecurities, both online and in real life.

The ‘MomPreneur’ Episode Ft Imoteda
In the spirit of Mother’s Day celebrated yesterday, this episode features chef and restaurateur Imoteda, founder of Fired & Iced, in a heartfelt conversation about motherhood, resilience, and building something for yourself against the odds. Imoteda shares her journey of becoming a mother in her first year of university and the realities of navigating life as a young single mum while still trying to figure out her future. She speaks about the role her family played in supporting her through that period and how that support system helped shape the woman she is today. The conversation also dives into her journey as a chef — from learning to cook for her daughter to eventually taking the bold step of opening her own restaurant. Through humour, vulnerability, and reflection, this episode celebrates the strength of mothers and the different paths that lead women to building the lives they want. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Breadcrumbing, Situationships & Icks Ft Menisms Podcast
We’re joined by Olumurewa and Isioma, hosts of the MENISMS Podcast and friends of the podcast, for a lively conversation about modern dating and the behaviors that keep showing up in it. We unpack the question “what actually makes someone a fuck boy?”, diving into things like love bombing, avoiding labels, and the rise of situationship culture, especially in the Nigerian dating scene. The conversation also takes a lighter turn as we talk about icks — the small (and sometimes ridiculous) things that instantly turn people off in dating. Overall, it’s a witty and chaotic episode filled with laughs & honest takes.

Consent, Boundaries & Healthy Relationships Ft Oye Pearl.
We’re joined by Oye Pearl — Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) educator, youth advocate, and content creator — for a much-needed conversation about consent and what it really means in our context. We break down the misconceptions, the grey areas Nigerians often ignore, and how culture, religion, and upbringing shape the way we understand (or misunderstand) boundaries. From relationships to marriage to everyday interactions, Oye helps us unpack why consent is not just a buzzword — but a responsibility.

The Dance Marketing Episode
It’s just Dami and Isaac this time — no guest, just pure gist, hot takes, and unfiltered opinions. The duo dive into listener dilemmas, offering advice (solicited and unsolicited), sharing their perspectives, and reacting in the way only they can. They also get into the ongoing drama in the Nollywood industry, unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) jabs flying around about marketing strategies, promo tactics, and the politics of attention. As always, the conversation blends humour with sharp observations. From relationship wahala to industry side-eyes, this episode feels like sitting in on a chaotic but insightful group chat.

How Gambling Addiction Nearly Destroyed Me Ft Idris Abdulkareem
Watch, Like and Comment on YouTube- https://youtu.be/DVM3J07sPwM?si=6Un_9Dyn2ys8CX1m We’re joined by Idris Abdulkareem, a listener of the podcast, who opens up about his journey as an ex-gambling addict now 6 months clean. With courage and vulnerability, Idris shares how his relationship with gambling started, how it slowly escalated, and how it eventually took over his life. He speaks candidly about losing everything, battling suicidal thoughts, and reaching a breaking point that forced him to confront the reality of his situation. The conversation walks through the darkest moments of addiction, the isolation that comes with it, and the difficult but life-changing decision to quit. More than anything, this episode is about accountability, recovery, and hope. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can spiral, but also how choosing help, honesty, and change can begin a new chapter. This is a powerful, sobering, and necessary conversation — one that may resonate deeply with anyone who has struggled, is struggling, or knows someone who is.

APC Is Hindering Romance Ft Osasbaby
Please watch, comment and like - https://youtu.be/x4s5WM92cVw?si=63y3rxPLsqjGYGcl We’re joined by Virtuosi (aka Osasbaby) — host of Is This a Safe Space?, talent manager, influencer, brand strategist, and now freshly launched cheating recovery coach (yes, it happened live 🤣). This marks her second time on the podcast, after her first guest appearance years ago — an episode that remains a listener favourite to this day. We get into how Nigeria limits romance, the unspoken rules around love and dating, and why being romantic here can sometimes feel like a crime. The conversation also dives into cheating, how deeply it affects relationships, why some betrayals permanently change things, and whether you can ever truly come back from it. It’s witty, insightful, and full of laughs.

Although we couldn’t be joined by Isaac this week due to unforeseen circumstances, the vibes were still very much intact. We dive into the hot take that Nigerians — especially Nigerian men — may have completely lost the art of flirting, what flirting used to look like, and how it somehow turned into dry compliments and awkward DMs. Chinasa shares her thoughts, personal experiences, and very honest observations on modern-day flirting. The conversation also takes a playful turn as she talks about how much she loves Abuja, why the city has her heart, and how agberos somehow deliver the most creative, unfiltered compliments you’ll ever hear. From city love to street wisdom, nothing was off-limits. Overall, it’s a light and witty conversation! Enjoy!

Impulsive Decisions, Great Stories ft Ajibola Grey

We get into the ongoing Wizkid vs Fela conversation, unpack how making impulse decisions has shaped major parts of his life, and dive into his journey of quitting smoking — the discipline, mindset shift, and lessons that came with it.
