#14 Best Month of the Year!

get ready for an episode riddled with me saying "month" instead of "season", or "season" instead of "year" etc, lol. i also talk a bit a bit about covid fatigue, and give a shout out to 2-DA-Forum, check them out!

happy best month of the year, happy "best season of the month", and happy easter!

The Bachelorette s16 e10 & e11

omg - we are nearing the end, and it's so sad yet so exciting. we were honoured with two whole episodes this week and they were great - the guys got together to chat with tayshia and chris harrison (and they expressed their discontentment with yosef), the final four were chosen and then filtered down to three (what an L for ben). nardos and i discuss our thoughts on all this and more, plus we have a little chat on men's fashion, inspired by zac c.

happy listening!

The Bachelorette s16 e6 & e7

nardos and i discuss who the true "grown-ass men" in the house are and who the true "man-children" are. 

two notes: 

  • this episode is a late release - it was recorded a week ago, after episode 6 was released. 
  • i was experimenting with background music here... if you feel strongly about it in either way, please lmk! 

 

happy listening!

#12 Family Matters: Shona Culture + Diaspora Life with Tavonga
in this week's episode i am joined by my lovely cousin, sekuru, and friend, Tavonga (click here to watch video episode on YouTube). Tavonga and i are really great friends and in this episode we discuss everything from moving from Zimbabwe to the diaspora, police brutality on this side of the world, Shona culture including the topic of roora, aka brideprice, and we also share some stories from when we were growing up.   at some point in the episode i mentioned the song 'Madam Mombeshora' so here it is, and here's a bit of something on the Shona practice of roora for those of you interested in knowing more (this one is for you, dear future husband, in addition to the rest of the readings). Here's a lighter read on it. i once wrote a term paper on roora so let me know if you'd like to read that and i'll happily send it over. happy listening!   .   .   .   xx QueenJoy    Tavonga's LinkedIn: @tavongaroymagwenzi   Tavonga's Instagram: @tavongaroy    Twitter: @CandidSharn  Facebook: @candidsharn  Instagram: @candidsharn  YouTube: Candid Shar'n with QueenJoy  Website: candidsharn.com  Music from Pixabay

#11 What's Your Best "Break-Up" Line?

in this episode i talk about some great stuff from the new york times on elections and guns, space debris, santa v covid-19, "break up lines" (v pick-up lines) among other things, and it also comes up at some point that a Dan Brown book gave me my mind its first philosophical stretch (link the book). 

i also chat a bit about one of the most popular black mirror episodes: season 3 episode 1, nosedive. 

lots of this content came from some interesting reddit threads, so thanks reddit :) 

as usual, here are those links i mentioned:

  • new york times - the one on guns 
  • new york times - the one on elections

#5 Growing Up in Zim: Corporal Punishment & Discipline Part 1

WARNING: This episode contains accounts of corporal punishment

---

Growing up in Zimbabwe, discipline was almost always equated with corporal punishment. In this fairly lighthearted episode I recount a story when I was naughty and was disciplined, and a friend of mine also shares some of his observations on corporal punishment in Zimbabwe.

I also discuss black mirror season 2, episode 2, "White Bear"

Happy Listening!

first solo episode (!!!) and i'm sharing a story from high school, then talking black mirror!

---

first of all, i did! i *actually* released an episode on a friday... as i am supposed to, lol!

anyway, it's my first solo episode and man, oh man, was i excited to record it! in this episode, i share a story from my time in high school, a story that only my family and very few friends have heard.

and then... it's black mirror time! y'all, i felt like i could talk forever when i was doing that segment! i've said this time and time again, but it's just such a good show!

Black Mirror 1.3: The Entire History Of You

nardos, roy, and i discuss black mirror season 1 episode 3!

---

a good episode of black mirror deserves an entire episode of its own and oh my... i had to cut out SO much, and even then i couldn't get this "bonus" episode to be as short as I wanted it to be, haha, thanks to nardos bringing up an interesting opinion as we were about to finish recording (we love her so much).

in this episode we talk about black mirror season 1 episode 3, an episode that introduces the idea of perfect memory!

you can watch black mirror on netflix - there are currently 5 seasons available and we'll be going through most of the episodes one by one as segments in the regular podcast episodes.

happy listening!
