    V068 | Is Forgiveness A Cruel Thing To Ask of Victims?

    [About The Episode]

    Forgiveness is a concept that manifests itself across many aspects of our lives. We're taught it's a virtue of divine origins and that we should always, always forgive. But when the harm is done, the hurt lingers and forgiving is not what comes to mind. Are we wrong? Is it right to ask or demand forgiveness of those who have been hurt and victimized?

    V067 | What's It Like Being Gay In Nigeria w/ Khaki In Glasses | Interview

    Being gay in Nigeria is a double offence, one against the Nigerian state and one against God. In this interview, I speak with a friend (Khaki In Glasses) about himself, his life and what it's like (for him) being gay in Nigeria. Enjoy!

    V065 | Rethinking The Friend zone

    Ever since Friends launched it's first season in 1994, we've had to deal with people (men) complaining about and demanding justice for being “friend zoned". But the thing is, the friend zone isn't actually a thing?

    V064 | The Misrepresentation of Comfort

    V064 | The Misrepresentation of Comfort

    Why do we work so hard? Why do we strive for better living conditions, better environments and settings? I believe, all of this is due to our desire for comfort. Yet, comfort is somewhat of a bad thing? In this episode, we'll look at the concept of comfort, what's good about it, and why we're wrong about it.

    V063 | I Don't Feel ANYTHING

    V063 | I Don't Feel ANYTHING

    There's a difficulty in describing the state of emotional void. A state of extreme apathy, where you simply just feel nothing, numb. It's difficult to describe because how can you describe emptiness caused by and overfill?
