So... we went through a list of companies that recently graduated from Y Combinator and ran commentary on a few that jumped at us. The last 10 minutes of the recording might be painful to listen to due to microphone issues. Contemplated deleting it, but it contained good conversation so BEER with us. Bye.

Closing song: "Until the Levee" by Joy Williams.

"It's great to be back" - were Tolu's closing words as we ended the episode. Seriously, sorry it took us so long to do this. Uzo did what he does best and put me on the spot for a bit there with a Flutterwave question, thus making it the first time any of the Paystack founders publicly discuss the subject. We spent the rest of the episode examining possible steps to take to help Nigerians appreciate local technology solutions.

Closing song: "St. Jude" by Florence + the Machine

Tolu is back. We discussed our individual love (or appreciation) for gadgets and explored the subject of underutilization of material possessions. We also discussed the subject of giving feedback and how things we say impress on others.

The gang gets back together after a long hiatus and now, with greater timezone differences. We discuss what its like living in Mauritius, left-pad as a service, how donating to crudcast might trump donating towards cancer, what its like to be a Y Combinator alum, and easter eggs.

Closing song: "Uma Thurman (Didrick remix)" by Fall Out Boy.

On this episode, we feature a much sought after guest fondly known as Papa Olabode. We discuss accountants starting technology startups, the importance of collaboration in the ecosystem, and someone's Jamaican wife.

Closing song: "Ojuelegba" by Wizkid

Where is Uzo? Hello? Alright. We'll just go on without him. Meet Debo Olaosebikan, one of the cofounders of Gigster - a software outsourcing firm with a pool of vetted freelance developers. We discuss everything from interview tips, to living in the bay area with a $600 monthly budget. The best products come from scratching one's itch and it always pays to be true to yourself. These, and more (including Debo's music career) in this week's episode of the show.
