Hello and welcome to this new podcast called "Ni Aki, Ni Aya", which in Papiamento means neither here, nor there.

My name is Nagila and I'll be the host.

Recently we've been hearing a lot about polarization and how everyone seems to think in B&W. And even though some people certainly do, most if not everyone that I personally talk to seems to fall somewhere in between the extremes.

With this podcast, I want to explore these nuances that mostly get ignored by the mainstream media. If only just to prove that the vast majority of us have more in common than they care to admit.

In each episode I'll be exploring a new "polarizing topic". Sometimes alone and sometimes with a guest. So I hope that you'll enjoy these episodes enough to share them with your friends and family. And either way, I look forward to hearing what you think.
