We’re baaaaaaack!!
Season 5 has been a long time coming, but we are so stoked to be back!

In this first episode of the season, your hosts catch-up and then delve into a listener-requested topic: “Platonic Friendships”. Defined as a “friendship between two people who could, in theory, feel attracted to each other, but without sexual or romantic feelings." (Healthline & Betterhelp)
We delve deep into the complexities of platonic friendships, if platonic friends make good wingmen when on the dating circuit and the best and hardest parts of platonic friends.
Do you believe that platonic friendships are possible? How have you navigated them?
Hit us up and let us know ;)

Marriage. Some get it. Some don’t. Some will. Some won’t.
The topic of marriage is a never ending discussion that seems to be ever complex with no single answer. On this episode, we speak to Kudzai Kanyangarara - a media professional who’s been married for almost 9 years. We seek to understand the male perspective on marriage and proceed to explore the many questions that aren’t always brought up at kitchen teas and bachelor parties. 
From cultural pressures to Jeff Bezos, is marriage losing its original hold on society? Why do we continue to get married? What are the implications of choosing marriage? What are the hardest and best parts of the institution?
Delve deeper into this and more.

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." | Frederick Douglass
Motherhood is a hood not all get to permanently reside in, but all have to pass through on their journey to adulthood. In this episode, we speak with Skhoe, a mother of over 21 years who has been mothering her two children in the diaspora. From Thailand to Swaziland, Washington D.C. to Switzerland. 
We try to glean from Skhoe the many lessons she has learnt on her motherhood journey; discuss the questions one has when parenting or thinking of parenting; and take a moment to reflect on what success as a parent looks like. As African women in the diaspora, we recognise that the community and support typical of raising children in Zimbabwe is not afforded to us as easily, whilst also recognising that parenting needs to be done a little differently in order to survive.
What are some of your lessons from mothering or being mothered?
