This episode is about improving media literacy as young adults.
As a generation that has essentially been raised by the internet, a lot of our views, desires, and prejudices are planted and reinforced by what we consume on the web.
Media is all around us and we’re living in a saturated media environment. This is why it is important to understand how to digest all of that content.

This episode is about spirituality in postmodern culture.
To quote Ravi Zacharias “If belonging to a church is judged as a product to be consumed, the church must appeal to the consumer to “buy into” the product.”
We spoke about our backgrounds growing up in Christian homes, mega-churches, competition within the church, postmodernism, the Church and its impact on social justice issues, plus a lot more.

This episode is about the significance or insignificance of a post-grad education. From if you should go, to when you should go, to “how” you should go.
For context, Wole is a doctoral researcher in his 3rd year, and I, on the other hand, have been working in the startup ecosystem since my first degree, so that gave this conversation a balanced perspective.

24 min
This episode is about the hidden costs of masculinity.
Standards of manliness or masculinity vary across different cultures and historical periods. Traits traditionally viewed as masculine in Western society include strength, courage, independence, leadership, and assertiveness.
But where does that leave gentleness, empathy, humility, and sensitivity?
And how does society tend to treat men that explore that spectrum of their personality?

This episode is about being young, black and financially literate.
At the risk of making a hasty generalisation, it’s almost safe to say that as a 20-something-year-old, financial literacy isn’t something that regularly pops up in your conversations, so we decided to talk about it!
