Uchenna Of Apollo 2
The first episode was soo good we had to bring him back. Uchenna is back with us on the new season of Radio Uzo after a monumental 2023. In this episode, he sits down with Uzo to discuss brand building, the creative renaissance happening in Dallas, and his biggest lessons from 2023. They also discuss plans for the future and where they'd like to evolve in the new year. On a lighter note, Uchenna delivers a shocking and possibly accurate breakdown of Uzo's rizz game. If this has worked you, you might be eligible for compensation. Lots of laughs on this one so save it for the perfect moment.

Your Passport Thinks You're Dead
The age we're turning this year isn't that funny tbh. Nothing is funny. If your year is off to a false start, the Chinese new year is coming up so don't worry. I definitely took advantage of it last year.
Welcome to season 4 of Radio Uzo! Make some noise wtf??! In this episode, I give a bit of a teaser into the season ahead and discuss three important points I think we should all consider for the new year:
- The gender wealth transfer
- The case for non-fiction
- Spinning the block
Enjoy and please share the episode with someone you care about. Follow the accounts to stay updated!

Felz of Mainlnd
Recorded in Atlanta during the Davido AWAY festival weekend which also coincided with my birthday weekend.
This episode with Felz is the story of what momentum looks like in the span of a year when you remain consistent and have a village supporting you. It's the perfect episode to listen to while pondering the kind of year you want to have in 2024.
We discuss the story of MAINLND, mental frameworks you need to have to conquer your wildest dreams, football being a great analogy for life, and loads more.
This is one you want to discuss with a friend or perhaps while on a long drive. Enjoy and please share the episode with someone.

School Fathers as Pimps ft. Kelechi
In this episode we talk about haircuts and how they're the most economical form of therapy out there. Kelechi then talks about his fitness journey from his humble beginnings of the luxurious barney purple themed planet fitness and the learnings picked up from his chef days at Whataburger. We get into some boarding school stuff and my days as a "performer" for protection and shawarma.
This is light, fun, and an insight into what guys truly talk about. Sports and women aside.
Rekindling Relationships
Life can be long or short depending on how you view it. Too many times we leave things unsaid secretly hoping for a chance to someday make your case, share a kiss, or get in that fire ass comeback you just thought of that would have been fitting maybe 13 months ago. Some of us are shockingly great at detachment while some of us replay conversations from three years ago constantly. Regardless of where you stand, I think we can all appreciate a chance at a do over.
This episode is centered on friendship but the themes are relevant across most relationship types. For those who have been with me on my podcasting journey (I'm talking Abstract Culture, soundcloud and uni days), this one might hit a little different. Enjoy and share with a friend.
NEW YAWWK LIFE CATCH UP
Omo it seems like we're back shaa. Hope this finds you well. If it doesn't, come back to it when you're not bad vibes.
On this episode, we're talking about why I keep flying to Dallas like I have containers that need my attention. There's something cool about new folks adding life to a situation that felt stale.
New Yawwwk! Just got back from that bread ridden city with such an efficient subway system. San Francisco pls take notes. Did some fashun tings and saw Mr. Money who definitely brought the vibes.
We're mainly catching up, its so nice to have you here.
New Age Nigerian Babes
Hope y'all are having an amazing week. I just want to use this episode to give flowers to the Nigerian babes out there defying expectations and making their own path. It's not easy, know that we love you and are cheering for you.
Uchenna of Apollo
There's something inspiring about talking to someone who's really about it. They have a vision and though its not super clear how it comes to life, one day at a time, they bring it to fruition. From Apollo to Joint and Jams, Uchenna is a guy imposing his will on the world while also having fun with it. This episode was recorded back in November of 2021 when we all came to ATL for Davido. It also happened to be my birthday weekend. We get into topics like being the firstborn in an Igbo household, Dallas nightlife, dating, and having a sense of style. Don't let his deep voice scare you, Uchenna is actually a sweetheart. Enjoy the episode.

Lite Snacks: The Alté Problem
Not a rant but just me thinking out loud when it comes to the issues I've noticed in the Nigerian alte scene.
Playing the Game ft Nnemka
ANOTHER BANIGER! I got the opportunity to literally sit down with one of my favorite people, Nnemka. She's an engineer, artist, and all-around star. She juggles the "work hard, play hard" mindset like no one I know. In this episode, we discuss the importance of networking and how putting yourself out there can get you the things you want. Hear how she switched from a career in Chemical Engineering to Computer Science during the lockdown and how much grit and determination it took. We also discuss ways our parents could benefit from social media and we come up with interesting ways to help our parents build a closer network online. Nnemka shares tips on what to say when you first meet someone professionally and a funny way she's been able to get the best customer service wherever she goes.
On a lighter note, we discuss Dubai and afrobeat artists we find overrated and why. There are so many gems in this episode and I hope you're able to share them with your loved ones and enemies too.

Last Last We Have Burna
How una dey? It's your favorite consistently inconsistent yet unproblematic podcast host, Uzo. We're back with yet another banger. This episode is the one you want to wash dishes to or something to keep you occupied while you do that one chore you extremely hate. I begin by presenting the new direction for Radio Uzo and how it's less of a "How to" podcast and more of a space to navigate my 20s and share what lessons, tragedies, and perspectives I have on this wild ride we call life. Hopefully the more specific, the more universal it becomes.
On this particular episode, we discuss topics such as:
- Thot shorts
- Summertime as adults
- Watering your own garden
- Tired Mental health discussions
- Nigerian political climate
- TV shows I'm interested
- Shoutouts
Leave Your Hometown
I think you'll enjoy the little nostalgic ad I placed here. Thank you for listening if you are, I speak about what it's been like moving to a new city. I speak on experiencing the Bay Area as an outsider and why you should leave your hometown at least once.
I'm building a Radio Uzo team and we're in need of social media strategists, brand marketing, graphic designers, and audio engineers. Reach out to me via email (radiouzo19@gmail.com) if you'd love to learn more about the vision and see if it might be worth your while.
The United States of the Wizkid Pregame
O2 turn O3 and now Americans are bamboozled at how they got nothing close to the excitement in London. RIP Virgil Abloh, the man behind Pyrex, DONDA, Off White, and the recent resurgence of Louis Vuitton. We get into his story and discuss his 3% design rule. There is no arrival and my new found love for European films balanced by my disdain for Hollywood.

The Comeback
And we're back! Welcome to a new and interesting season of Radio Uzo. The focus this year is leveling up but not like in those girl boss ways or forex groups.

The Truth About Lust
HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
Aquarius season is here YUK. In this very personal and vulnerable episode, I share my thoughts about lust. Love and lust are two sides of the same coin. Both have the power to produce attraction, passion, and intensity. However, only one of these two can be sustained. I also share my tips to resist and get better about dealing with lust. Hope you learn a thing or two or even better, explore this topic further.

Clubhouse Becoming Problematic
Welcome to another episode of Radio Uzo. There's malt in the fridge, make yourself comfortable. On this episode, I discuss how special my recent birthday turned out. I also drop my biggest lessons of year 22. A special thanks to Art of Grace for hosting a contest in which we were crowned runner up. Funds won will be used to push the show forward. The main meat of the episode dissects 30+ twitter and their antics, Afrobeat Switch concert, and Clubhouse. I suggest other activities they(30+) can be involved with outside Twitter. Next, we discuss the Afrobeat switch concert that saw artists like Maradona, Zarion Uti, MTG, Konnect, and a few others. A wonderful experience that once again confirms how vibrant the art scene is in Houston. Lastly, we discuss Clubhouse the audio social media app and its possible issues with gatekeeping and monetization.

Radio Uzo is a live show that comes on at 9 PM on YouTube every Saturday. For just thirty minutes you are transported into my world, full of gists, story time, discussions on important matters, and wonderful music. Radio Uzo is hosted by me, Uzo, a 6'4, tall, dark, intelligent, and interesting figure. I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and I moved to America when I was 14. Assimilation was a huge part of my teenage years as I was grappling with learning a new culture while holding onto the one I had grown up on. Nine years later, I am this weird hybrid of a proper Igbo guy mixed with a very Texan state of mind. This is all evident in my music, way of thinking, fashion sense, and overall approach to my creative outlet. Come hang out with me every Saturday at 9 PM and I hope we can get to know one another.
