“Wait... was that Shona?” 🇿🇼🇬🇧

RESPONDING TO DILEMMA LETTERS..

In this episode of It’s Actually Not That Serious, we’re diving into the bittersweet reality of being a Zimbabwean migrant in the UK. We get honest about the "British chill"—and we don't just mean the weather.

From the deep ache of diaspora loneliness to that frantic, awkward moment you hear a stranger speaking Shona in the grocery aisle (and the internal battle of whether to say hello or just eavesdrop), we’re breaking down what it’s really like to build a life from scratch.

In our first sit-down of 2026, we’re laying out our resolutions and figuring out if we’re actually sticking to them this time. But honestly, it’s hard to stay focused on "self-improvement" when Zimbabwean Facebook and Insta are currently losing their minds over those viral wedding vows.

We take a quick (and hilarious) detour to discuss that "spicy" altar moment—because if people are being that bold with their life partners, why are we being so shy with our goals?

Welcome to the very first episode of It’s Actually Not That Serious! In this "Episode 0," we’re stripping back the curtain to tell you exactly how we met and why we decided to start a podcast despite nobody asking us to. We dive into the messy, unfiltered realities of being a migrant—from the culture shocks that left us confused to the moments we realised we were definitely not in our hometowns anymore. Expect a lot of laughs, zero gatekeeping, and a brief insight into the chaos of our lives. We’re figuring it out as we go, and we’re taking you along for the ride.
