*(Relate)able

Today, we'd love to introduce you to a brand-new podcast. You may know Jimi Famurewa as a guest judge on Masterchef but, like many of us Jimi is not just one thing, and we are so excited to welcome him to the podcasting world. His new podcast Where is Home Really is now live and we wanted to share our very favorite episode with you so far.

This episode features comedian, actor and writer Babatunde Aleshe who is also known for sharing the sofa with his BFF Mo Gilligan on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ as well as being a campmate in 2022’s ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here.’

Babatunde tells Jimi how not having a permanent home, growing up in a single parent family has shaped his own approach to bricks and mortar now that he's a father and husband.

Plus he reveals why he's changed his approach to his mum's traditional African cooking and the truth behind his relationship with Matt Hancock following their ITV adventure in the jungle.

Listen to Where is Home Really wherever you get your podcast fix

This is a certifiable JUICY episode - one which we know you will love.

After all, a shared journey brings hope.

Episode 19: Men-O-Pause Has Entered The Chat

We kick off this week with our girl Fiona getting told off, Chantal is all loved up with Trevor Noah, and Sherween is meeting the family!

We felt it was important to tackle the menopause minefield and how it's already affecting us, we're discussing hormones and what it's doing to us and our bodies. Chantal is giving us all the facts, symptoms and even some recommendations and tips. Under the Mango tree is back with some lovely sounds from Nevis (oh how we've missed UTMT)...Enjoy!!

Episode 18 - The *(Relate)able Podcast: The Exodus Collective Special with Zoe Smith

What better way to close off this series than with the Queen of Exodus herself Zoe Smith! This week Sherween is still revelling in her birthday pampering sessions, and does Fiona still have girl days? We discuss all things relocation, knowing your "why" and grounding in order to find your purpose to aid the transition into island life. We explore ways in which us JCB's can contribute to society, and not just complain about how slow everything appears to be (Sherween), and we close off the episode with a wonderful revelation!! Another long episode filled with laughs, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Episode 17 - The *(Relate)able Podcast: Exodus... Because Home Is Where I Belong Part 1

Blaxodus, exodus, blaxit, whatever you wanna call it, there has been a movement taking place since the start of the pandemonium. Like Bob Marley said its movement of Jah people and we are leaving Babylon in droves! This week we're finally discussing why the big move with Sherween and Chantal, we speak about expectations verses reality, and the reasons why island life just may not be for everyone. Fiona poses a really poignant question regarding how we treat each other, and we speak about ways the JCB's (thanks @drnutmeg) can help with change whilst not stepping on anyone's toes.

Of course, there's lots of laughs as usual, and one of our hosts is just bursting with joy for some amazing projects coming up! Also, our *(Relate)able Jumpers are back on sale and you can grab yours here *(Relate)able Jumper (presswheel.co.uk)

The *(Relate)able Podcast: What We Do "When Life Is Life-ing"

Hey y'all, so this week we decided to share some of our coping mechanisms for when life decides to throw everything at us (it seems to be doing a lot of that lately wooochild...) Again, stemming from our group chat moans, crying sessions and just plain ole gripes, we share some tips on what works best for us to ensure we make it through these tough times.

There's no Under the Mango Tree this week as we wanted to keep it short and sweet, so do enjoy, and let us know what works for you when life is life-ing!!

The *(Relate)able Podcast: The Brandon Jay McLaren Special

We told y'all we were coming bigger and better this season, and I think we just levelled up with this dope special guest!!!

This week we had a chat with the adorable Brandon Jay McLaren and it was amazing!

We had our first *(Relate)able EXCLUSIVE, Brandon speaks to us about his acting journey over the years, and how he's been able to stay true to his Caribbean roots. It really is a special episode y'all, so much so there's no "Under The Mango Tree". There's lots of wonderful laughs as usual, and I can say The *(Relate)able crew has gained a new Island Friend!
