  • "Talking to Your Demons" - The Religion Episode
    Sep 12 2025

    Kampala streets are empty on Wednesdays for a very specific reason.


    This episode delves into why that is, as well as what it was like for Agatha and Karane growing up religious in Uganda, why Quebec hates the Catholic church, and if it's possible to talk to demons. I would expect nothing less for our religion episode.


    If all that wasn't enough, we're also joined with our very first GUEST in this episode. You're in for a treat.

  • "Matooke & Poutine" - The Food Episode
    Sep 5 2025

    One thing is sure, Ugandans feel strongly about BEANS!!


    This episode, Josie, Agatha and Karane dive deep into the minefield that is enjoying (or disliking) food from other cultures. From the struggles of growing up in boarding school and being forced to eat beans to the ease that street food brings. The trio discusses West African vs. East African food and how, ultimately, no matter the region, food will continue to successfully bring everyone together.
