I Said What I Said

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly talented singer-songwriter FOLA! We start with some of your dilemmas. From a boyfriend faking drunkenness to avoid paying for a night out, to a wedding guest haunted by her colourful romantic history, we have plenty of opinions to share!

Then we get into all things FOLA. He takes us through his journey into music and the making of his sophomore album, ‘9’. We also talk about some special collaborations, relationships and, of course, cheating. Is our lover boy really as romantic as his music suggests? You’ll have to listen to find out! We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda & Busha Busha Busha!!!

This week, we’re joined by the Tiger himself, investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo, for a fascinating conversation about his work, the dangers of going undercover, his journey to Libya, and the shocking realities of human trafficking. We also get into some of his wildest investigations, what motivates his quest to tell these stories and how his family and friends feel about his adventures.

Then it’s time for your dilemmas! From unsupportive mothers and unfortunate bathroom encounters to a boyfriend who’s married to his niece (yes, really). Plus, an update from our unmarried married woman! As always, there’s plenty to unpack. We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha Busha Busha!!!

This week, we're joined by Arike Alaso for an episode that takes as many chaotic detours as humanly possible. Before getting into your dilemmas, we dissect why Roblox has the younger generation in an iron-clad chokehold and the existential dread of watching people you used to play outside with become actual, full-blown adults.

Then we dive headfirst into your messy entries: from the sheer audacity of a friend dating an abusive ex-fiancé, to an open marriage currently hanging on by a thread and full FBI-level cyberstalking just to find a dating app match on Instagram because swiping right normally was apparently too simple.

Arike then tells us about building her fabric business, losing her husband, balancing motherhood with ambition and what’s next for Arike Alaso. As always, there are strong opinions, side quests and plenty of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly hilarious and multi-talented Hauwa Lawal for a special 3-hr Agony Aunt episode. Before the dilemmas, we talk about the realities of running a business in Nigeria, Hauwa’s journey into content creation and why we need to be talking about our history a lot more.

Then we get into the crazy entries, from friendship boundaries and telling your friend how you really feel about their parenting, to old flames making very inconvenient reappearances and the age-old problem of sleeping with your best friend and accidentally developing feelings. Safe to say, we had quite a lot to work with.

As always, there are strong opinions, slightly questionable advice and loads of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha Busha Busha!

SHOW NOTES

This episode features a real Gen Z baddie, Jaddy of Lagos, founder of Life Studios and The Transformhers, who joins the ladies for a very eventful episode involving fake dreads, the suffering required for beauty, some deeply unserious men and a collection of dilemmas that only get messier as they go. Jaddy also talks about becoming a mother at a young age, her unique relationship with her daughter and family, and what it took to eventually build a life for herself beyond everything she experienced.

It’s insightful and deep as always, with plenty to unpack about family, dating, motherhood and starting again, alongside the usual ISWIS detours and opinions. We hope you enjoy this episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

This episode features the most detailed City by City Tour recap that you could ever get as the ladies return to Lagos, Nigeria from their globe trotting with riveting tales. Much ado is made about the whiplash of Lagos airport arrivals, the warm welcome of power outage and the joy of faulty plumbing. It is a bittersweet joy ride through long flights, fancy sheets, ghost pepper and the celebration of 9 years of ISWIS excellence that coincided with a record-breaking 7-City International Tour (so far) by your favorite duo.

Enjoy this hilarious episode which is brought to you by the good people of Kuda and Busha.

This week, it's just your favourite yappers, doing what they do best! But, before you get excited, we should warn you that this is not a tour recap; we are saving that for when we are back in the studio!

This episode is one of those ones when we remind you (and ourselves) that we are graduates, starting off with a long rambling conversation on the dearth of imaginative problem-solving from global leaders (especially in the UK), what happens when finance bros and politics inadvertently conspire to break the talent pipeline and why reality shows get weird after the first two seasons.

This week's dilemmas are interesting; a young lady is anxious about her father dying before walking her down the aisle, and another is disappointed in her partner's lack of generosity.

It’s fun and full of "insights". We hope you enjoy this amazing episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

We’re joined by the extremely talented and hilarious queen, Beverly Adaeze, for a deep dive into her content creation journey, life in the public eye and everything in between. We talk about the constant struggle of never being taken seriously as a funny woman, taking gap years, moving abroad and all the exciting plans she has coming up next.

We also unpack internet permanence, cultural differences and after forever, Jola gives a hot take of the week. Plus, Beverly breaks down her disastrously awkward attempt at telling someone they were musty! We hope you enjoy this episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha.

The Bounce is recording live from Houston, Texasss and we’re joined by Gozie Coker, Chief Experience Designer at Coker Creative, for a warm and candid conversation about all things events, reinvention and navigating major life and career changes.

We get into the realities of being on tour, America’s almost excessive commitment to hospitality and, of course, parents finding any excuse to ask about marriage. Gozie also takes us through building Coker Creative, relocating, stepping away and eventually finding her way back to the business, while sharing what she’s learned from planning events across the world.

We also get into some very complicated dilemmas before closing out with what Gozie is excited about next and her advice for anyone looking to build a career in event planning. We hope you enjoy this episode, sponsored by our amazing friends at Busha and Kuda.
