  • The "Unscheduled Maintenance" Episode
    Apr 14 2026

    After a fun weekend in Abuja for their friend's wedding, FK & Jola are back to talk about seeing your friends in love, group adventures and the pitfalls of the Nigerian aviation industry, which led them to a hot conversation on the importance of registering to vote. They then spoke about Sibongile Ndashe's work in pushing law beyond intention and into impact, and why that matters for African women, before diving into some spicy dilemmas, including friends taking advantage, closure from situationships, and promiscuous ex-boyfriends. It was an excellent episode, if we do say so ourselves! Enjoy

  • The "Major & Minor Icks" Episode
    Apr 8 2026

    After weeks of back-to-back bangers with some phenomenal guests, this week FK & Jola are alone on the couch. The episode starts with a recap of their enjoyment-filled Easter weekend (up Jesus), which leads into an interesting conversation on the importance of excellence and innovation in faith-based endeavours - from books to businesses.

    They then have a conversation about the very real dangers women face on the internet as a result of the lack of regulation around AI usage, especially with the proliferation of deepfakes being used for sexual harassment and slander. The dilemmas this week were a doozy! From a relationship that might have been held together by sex, to navigating friendships as you grow, cohabiting with zero boundaries and long-distance relationships that suddenly start to look appealing for the wrong reasons - there’s a lot to unpack.

    They round things off with a heated list of icks and as always, it’s chaotic, honest and very funny. Enjoy!
