WE MADE IT TO 10 EPISODES! 🥳

To celebrate, we're putting on our party hats and reflecting on the last six months with a return guest from Episode 5, Jason.

We revisit our very unsuccessful weight loss bet, talk about turning 26 and the realisation that we're now officially closer to 30 than 20, and read out a citation that asks us to think a little differently about getting older.

📖 Citation: 26 and Onwards: Why This Age Feels Like a Major Life Shift by Zahra Khan - https://medium.com/@zahra.khan759/26-and-onwards-why-this-age-feels-like-a-major-life-shift-15390b45a039

We also get into the much heavier side of the last six months: continuing to witness a genocide in Palestine while powerful media entities continue to silence or distance themselves from people speaking out. We discuss Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and the wider tension between artists, platforms and political expression.

Finally, we end on something a little more hopeful: manifesting money, love and peace for one another as we head into whatever comes next.

10 episodes down. Here's to many more.

Hiatus is Glorified Jist's middle name, but at least I always come back :)

In this episode of The Voicenote Janelle Asha reflects on her career thus far as she hits 5 years in the beauty industry. She discusses how she went from an academic path to a more creative career overnight, her success, many failures, and lessons along the way.

Her career path has been pivotal to the birth of Glorified Jist, and as she opens herself up to new possibilities, it's only right she takes a moment to honour how it all started.

The guest you've all been waiting of has joined us on Glorified Jist, and he's telling his coming out story

This week on The Voicenote, we're deep in our Love Island bag.

We unpack the backlash surrounding Shakira Khan's comments about diversity in the villa and have an honest conversation about the difference between representation and actually being chosen and desired.

From there, we discuss preferential treatment in nightlife spaces, why race can influence who gets attention, and sometimes it's okay to want to be the preference in certain environments.

We also get into Ope's post-villa redemption arc and why he's come across so well since leaving the show.

And finally, we ask whether this season's male cast is evidence that manosphere and incel content has successfully infiltrated Gen Z, because some of the attitudes on display haven't come out of nowhere.

I'm back with a solo episode, and this week we're talking Gen Z pick mes, Netflix's new reality show Calabasas Confidential, and my latest lessons in dating.

Debriefing you on my spontaneous trip to Barcelona, and scatty nights out in London 💃🏾

Episode 7 takes a more intimate and unstructured approach, as I sit down with my cousin, Queen, for an open and honest conversation about navigating adulthood.

This episode is a reflection on the realities of “adulting”, the gap between expectations, and where we actually find ourselves. Together, we explore themes of stability, personal growth, and the evolving understanding of success.

There is a candid moment of vulnerability around the idea of stability feeling out of reach, balanced by humour, warmth, and shared understanding.

The conversation also touches on:

• Reframing expectations in your 20s and 30s
• Accepting that life may not follow a planned timeline
• Lessons in love and communication shaped by upbringing
• Finding comfort in growth, even when it feels slow

🎙️ Befriending White Women… It Gets Complicated

This episode of The Voicenote starts as a catch-up… and turns into something deeper.

I talk through the realities of friendship — especially when race, perception, and unspoken dynamics come into play — and why “befriending white women” can sometimes feel more complex than people admit.

In the middle of it all, I break down a situation from Summer House — but I tell it like it’s real life, like I’m venting to my friends.

No context needed, no prior knowledge of the show — just storytelling.

We also get into:

• The difference between The Voicenote and Glorified Jist

• The realities of podcasting when you’re building from scratch
• The natural hair conversation
• The end of The Receipts Podcast
• Olivia Attwood & Bradley Dack

If you like honest conversations, storytelling, and a bit of gisting… this one’s for you.

This week’s episode started with a DM about a documentary… and turned into a 2-hour conversation unpacking the Manosphere, the growing tension between men and women, and the realities of modern dating.

We get into Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere documentary — what it showed, what it missed, and why it still matters — alongside insights from Laura Bate's book Men Who Hate Women.

From incels and pick-up artists, to viral influencers, we explore how this content spreads, who it targets, and why it resonates with young men. Chudsz also reflects on his own exposure to this kind of content as a teenager, and how those early encounters shape perspective in ways people don’t always realise.

On a more personal note, we also touch on dating with sickle cell, an honest and important conversation about health education and navigating relationships with a chronic condition.

And for the first time, we finally introduce Pillow Talk Confessions 👀
