Knock Knock? Who’s there? APC, and if you’re reading this pay your podcast tax! Jokes are short stories that make us laugh. They evolved from a tool in theatrical storytelling used to critique social wrongs to the one-person performances we now call Stand-up comedy.

On this episode, host Temitayo Ayorinde, aka TMT of the Submarine and a Roach podcast, takes us on a deep dive into the comedy underworld. Joined by standup comedian and co-host of ‘This Week Tonight’ - Kolamide, the two laugh their way from the sound stage to the theatre stage to TV screens and finally the comedy club.

Fireballs, lion heads, and voodoo, these were the special ingredients chosen to make the greatest loss in our sporting history… allegedly. Once upon a time, a football match between India and Nigeria ended in a 99 - 0 loss for the Nigerian Green Eagles. On this episode, host Deji Osikoya takes us through a play-by-play of the mythical match. Joined by third generation Indian-Nigerian Hamisha Daryani Ahuja, director and producer of acclaimed cross-cultural Netflix features, ‘Namaste Wahala’ and ‘Postcards’, the two dig into how colonialism, commerce, and cinema have shaped our national friendship.

Roses are red, our passports are green, ‘Japa’ is migration to a country you’ve never been. Loosely translated from Yoruba, japa means to run away, and it’s what many Nigerians living in the country today aspire to do in the midst of rising inflation, insecurity, and unemployment. On this episode, host Abimisola of the Japa Diaries Podcast, surfs the waves and their ripple effects on our identities. On board with her are Nigerian-American, Mrs. Tayo Iyiola and Black British returnee Chef Wunmi Durosinmi-Etti. Follow the trio as they sail back and forth across the Atlantic, visiting former presidents, Nollywood icons, and the most elusive Nigerian of them all - the ‘I Just Got Backs’.

Do you, dear listener, take your host Boj to be your lawfully wedded guide through Nigerian Monogamy until death do you part?

In the past, getting married was anything but straightforward; women could be husbands, and love wasn’t anywhere near as important as land. But the Nigerian weddings we love today all come in the same shade of Western White.

Joined by soon-to-be newlyweds Loye & Ore, the three waltz down memory aisle to uncover how customary ceremonies of the past made way for the monogamous marriages of the present.

A crisp 500 naira note on the floor could either mean free money or a new life as a goat. On this episode, host Olamide challenges our superstitions to a face-off with facts. Juju is the colloquial catch-all for the occult but also a synonym for indigenous spirituality.

Joined by writer and author of the Afrireligions blog Martha Laraba Sambe, the two crawl through our criminal underbelly, traverse colonial canyons, and climb the fiery mountains of the Pentecost to demystify juju’s reputation as an African villain origin story. Listen as they re-tell our lore without the gaze of the wild wild West.

We all have stories to tell, so every fortnight Ada and Mayowa ply friends with food and drinks in exchange for those stories. It’s group therapy, meets open-mic, meets kickback. Our goal is simple: archiving the Nigerian experience to capture all the nuances of today's culture.
