Sankofa Ft. Dr Chibundu Onuzo
Award winning novelist Dr Chibundu Onuzo joins us to discuss her latest novel: Sankofa. Sankofa is the surprising story of a mixed-race British woman who goes in search of the West African father she never knew. We discuss some of the timely and thought provoking themes in the novel, such as identity, belonging, African leaders, a vision for Africa, and the novel's soundtrack, cover and title.

But What Is Holding Africans Back? Ft. Ozi
We delve into African history; we talk about African contributions to modern society and technology as we know it today. Our guest shares some knowledge on architecture and describes the benefits and history of mud huts as well as their contribution to social identity among different tribes, and how that might translate into modern structures.
We re-describe the narrative around how African history has been portrayed by the Western world. We talk about the written histories across the continent and how they have been erased from the archives, ultimately affecting how Africans see and express themselves. We look back at visionaries who have inspired Pan-African ideologies and wonder how we can start to transform these dreams into future realities.
But Why Are We Always Having Gender Wars? Ft. Benedicte and Strap
We're back with some fresh and awesome voices to engage in an age-old discussion about gender wars, particularly from the perspective of the Black African Diaspora. We ask why Black men don't play a big part in raising families, the division of labour and duties between women and men from childhood to adulthood, and the idea of the progressive Black/African families within and outside of the continent. We question the status quo and efforts to understand each other as members of the different genders in efforts to challenge the mindsets that came out of how we were raised. How we can cope, be supportive and hopefully empower each other. As usual, it gets deep!
But What Is Your Experience of Jungle Fever? Ft. The Talking Single Podcast
