It has been a MINUTE but we're back with...a final episode (*sobs quietly onto the keyboard*)! We've been radio silent because life has gotten in the way, so we wanted to go out with a final bang! We've had a great time chit chatting in your ears since 2018, and we wanted to say goodbye with a final (hilarious) interview we did back in June 2021, with acclaimed author Chibundu Onuzo discussing her latest novel Sankofa - taken from the famous Twi phrase about going back to get something you've forgotten. We thought it fit the bill for our final episode. So goodbye for now - go back and listen to our previous episodes, there's nothing wrong with doing that!

Headscarves and His Only Wife
Two weeks in a row and we're back? Who'd have thunk it! We had to return to your ears for this very special episode interviewing one of our new favourite Ghanaian authors - Peace Adzo Medie about her new book His Only Wife. And if you haven't heard of it, by the end of this episode you'll want to buy it - which is good because the link is below! We also discuss marriage and relationships on reality TV around the world, the impact of moving away from home and why Abi would make a great matchmaker applicant!
