How Is He Podcast | Ep. 86

This week, Podge & Popa have a very special guest in studio! Vanessa Ogbonna, one of the Faithfuls who won the very first season of The Traitors Ireland. Alongside Kelley Higgins and Oyin Adeyemi, Vanessa out-witted the Traitors, survived the drama, and walked away with her share of the prize pot. 

But Vanessa is much more than just a reality show winner — she’s a content creator, a community voice, presenter of the new RTE show United FC and someone who’s been deeply shaped by her journey. She spent time in direct provision after arriving in Ireland as a child, and she’s spoken candidly about how her community in Tramore helped her grow into the person she is today.

On today’s episode, they'll dive into her Traitors experience (the strategies, the alliances, the tension), but also into her life beyond the castle — her roots in Waterford, the role of football in her upbringing, and how she’s using this win as a platform to share her story and uplift others.
