In this episode, the hostess talks about the misconceptions people in Congo and around the continent think about what life is in Western nations. Many people think those of us living in Western nations are extremely rich but in this episode the hostess divulges in how it is all relative and comparative. Due, to this notion, relatives feel compelled or free to ask for money, for many things and those living in the diaspora will force themselves to work extra hours to send money to those who need it but spend the money frivolously only to call ask for more. Some of these relatives are acting from a place of misinformation and wrong assumptions on what life is like in these Western nations. They are sometimes unable to see the forest through the trees. 

   The hostess discusses the sex-tape scandal of Congolese musician Heriter Watanabe and Naomie Mbando and how everyone seems to have a take on the situation. The hostess talked about how Koffi Olomide is one of Congo's conflicting musical geniuses. We also talked about Dancer and Choreographer Jeny Bonsenge and her apperance on Ellen DeGeneres's Daytime Talk Show alongside one of her students.

   Muyumba had a special guest Kabimbi Kalubi come on the podcast and discussed his upbringing, his views on Congolese and Zambian culture,  being an Engineer and a DJ. We also played a fun and interesting game of Rapid Fire.

The debut episode of the Congo Report is all about the hostess Muyumba. It is about giving the listeners an inside view of her thought process, her love for Congolese culture, her upbringing, and her dislikes. This is the start of something great and what a better way than to get a peek into the mind of the woman behind the voice.
