On the final show before the Christmas break, the team ease into festive mode while still covering a wide range of cultural, political and social conversations. The episode opens with a light but revealing discussion about lying, why people do it, when it feels justified, and how insecurity often sits at the centre of unnecessary exaggeration. From there, the room swaps personal stories, childhood scars and football injuries, reflecting on how identity shifts when the thing you love most is taken away.

The conversation then turns cultural, with a discussion around African inspired products and branding, followed by a powerful segment on Christmas narratives. The team unpack controversial claims around the origins of Christmas, debate Hebrew Israelite interpretations, and openly challenge rhetoric that alienates rather than educates. This leads into a sobering historical reflection on Christmas for enslaved Black Americans, highlighting how the festive season once functioned as both a brief moment of relief and a strategic window for escape, with Harriet Tubman’s story standing out as a reminder of resistance and courage.

Headlines cover a wide spectrum, including domestic violence allegations involving British aristocracy, Ukraine’s financial crisis, changes to US cannabis policy, concerns over hunger striking activists, digital ID security fears, and debates around sentencing in violent public attacks. The show also touches on celebrity news, public shaming, workplace ethics, and whether society is too quick or too selective when it comes to moral judgement.

The episode closes on a reflective note, with the hosts sharing their personal Christmas rituals, favourite films, and the importance of rest, family and intention setting before the new year.

A thoughtful, wide ranging episode that blends humour, history, accountability and reflection as TDA signs off for the festive break.

Today’s episode closes the year with a deeply grounding conversation led by our final guest of 2025, Rianne Palmer, educator, wellness facilitator, Pilates instructor and founder of Watch ReGlow and Retreats. Rianne joins the show to unpack what wellness really means beyond aesthetics, trends and Instagram culture, reframing it as something far more personal: quality of life, safety, intention and self trust.

Rianne shares her own journey, from teaching in the UK to living between London and Dubai, and how those environments shaped her understanding of wellness, especially for women. She speaks candidly about why feeling safe is foundational to wellbeing, how simple practices like walking, journaling and mindful movement can be transformational, and why wellness should never feel exclusive or out of reach.

She walks the team through how her community was built from the ground up, starting with free walks, evolving into journaling sessions, retreats and Pilates experiences designed to create safe, intentional spaces for women to reconnect with themselves. Her story highlights the courage it takes to trust your vision, especially when creating something new that does not fit the usual mould.

The conversation also explores journaling as a tool for clarity, healing and self belief, the difference between performative wellness and lived wellness, and how practices like Pilates help rebuild trust in the body and the self. Rianne’s perspective is calm, thoughtful and deeply human, offering listeners practical tools alongside real reflection.

A reflective and restorative episode that invites listeners to slow down, redefine what wellness means to them, and remember that showing up for yourself does not have to be complicated.

Today’s episode is pure midweek chaos, starting with the team reacting to a string of resurfaced Diddy clips and industry rumours. From 50 Cent’s trolling to Ray J’s wild claims, the room breaks down the strange energy around celebrity culture and the uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight. The cast bounce between humour, suspicion and cultural commentary as they unpack the power dynamics of the music industry.

The conversation then shifts into African geopolitics as the team dissect a dramatic video explaining how France and Nigeria allegedly shut down a coup in Benin in just a few hours. The discussion becomes a deeper look at Western influence, African sovereignty, the role of ECOWAS, electricity dependence, oil politics and whether the story itself is exaggerated for online engagement.

The show closes with a thoughtful Topic of the Day, asking whether humans have any responsibility for the survival of our species. The cast debate purpose, procreation, religion, capitalism, individual choice, community, overpopulation, and whether having children is a duty or a personal decision. It becomes an unexpected philosophical moment after a morning of madness.

A funny, fast moving and surprisingly reflective episode with classic TDA energy throughout.

Today’s episode centres on one powerful guest voice: the anonymous listener who sent in a long, detailed letter critiquing yesterday’s show. Their message becomes the backbone of the entire discussion, driving the room into one of the most introspective conversations TDA has had in months.

The listener challenges the platforming of Stephanie, arguing that while her story is real, she is not representative of the wider transgender community. They compare it to inviting someone unqualified to speak for Black people, and warn that elevating an “outlier voice” can misinform the audience. They question editorial responsibility, consistency, and whether the show unintentionally allowed harmful generalisations to go unchecked.

Their critique forces the cast to unpack everything:
• how the interview was handled
• how much pushback is fair when someone is sharing trauma
• the difference between lived experience and community representation
• the difficulty of balancing sensitivity, curiosity and critical thinking on a live show
• whether TDA has done enough to include voices from the LGBTQ+ community
• and what fair, responsible platforming looks like going forward

The letter praises Sade specifically for providing structure, nuance and necessary counterpoints, and that recognition shapes the room’s reflection on how each host approached the conversation.

What follows is an open, honest, sometimes uncomfortable examination of method, intention and responsibility. E-Man breaks down why he rejected parts of the listener’s analogy. Brent calls for transparency and invites the writer to join the Discord to speak directly. The team revisit what was said, what wasn’t said and what they wish they asked. They debate balance, bias, empathy and whether the show should bring on additional trans guests to broaden understanding.

The guest may be anonymous, but their voice completely steers the episode. Their critique becomes the catalyst for one of the most layered, self-aware and community-driven conversations TDA has ever aired.

A necessary episode. A challenging one. And a reminder of how deeply the audience shapes this show.

Today’s episode is one of the most powerful conversations to ever happen on TDA. Our guest, Stephanie Thompson, opens her life with honesty, courage and emotional clarity as she walks us through a journey marked by childhood trauma, identity confusion, public transition and spiritual restoration.

Stephanie shares how moving to Jamaica as a child exposed her to a dangerous environment where grooming and abuse became normalised. She describes, in heartbreaking detail, how two separate assaults at age twelve stole her innocence and reshaped her relationship with her own body, her identity and the world around her. Returning to the UK, she buried the trauma and threw herself into friendships, online personas and eventually the Black LGBT scene where she sought belonging, protection and a way to rewrite who she was.

Her story moves into her years living as Stefan, a trans man, documenting the deep psychological shifts brought on by testosterone, the urgency to remove parts of her body to ease her inner turmoil, and the spiralling attempts to mould her external identity into something that felt safer than being a woman. She explains the emotional cost of misgendering, the paranoia in everyday public life, the breakdown of relationships and the painful truth that transitioning never resolved the ache at the core.

But the most transformative part of her story is her return to faith, where she finally confronted the trauma she had buried for almost two decades. Stephanie speaks about repentance, healing, forgiveness, and the courage it took to reclaim her womanhood after years of public advocacy as a trans man. Her reflections are raw, thoughtful and unflinchingly honest.

This episode is not sensational. It is human. It is layered. And it is a rare window into the complexity of identity, trauma, survival and redemption. Stephanie’s vulnerability turns this conversation into one of the most important testimonies shared on the platform.

Today’s show kicks off with a conversation about Korean skincare before moving into a lively Friday intro and a shout out to everyone from the previous night’s event. The team also celebrate the official announcement of The Rotation presenters, breaking down the lineup and the reactions coming in from the community.

Headlines open with a shocking NHS report showing elderly patients left in corridor care at Queen’s Hospital in East London. The team unpack why the NHS situation feels like a developing country and whether the government is quietly pushing people toward private healthcare. They then move on to Dulwich College breaking its silence about allegations of Nigel Farage’s racist behaviour as a student, and a major new investment to create 50,000 SEN school places across England.

The Topic of the Day is a full cultural deep dive into Dettie December. The team explore its origins, the diaspora’s connection to Ghana and Nigeria, the impact of the Year of Return, and how the season has grown into a global cultural moment. Gina gives a personal account of why she loves Dettie December, the freedom it brings, the networking opportunities, and the undeniable joy of being surrounded by Black culture at scale.

The discussion gets real about the downsides too.
They tackle issues like:
• price hikes that impact local communities
• Ghana’s slow service culture and why visitors have to adjust
• cultural misunderstandings, especially from American tourists
• safety differences between Ghana and Nigeria
• whether tourists are exploiting local labour
• and the role of government corruption in preventing real infrastructure improvements

The team debate whether people should experience more than just the nightlife, how diaspora expectations clash with local norms, and why the conversation around development must start with the people, not Western standards.

A rich, insightful and often hilarious episode that blends culture, travel, diaspora identity and the realities of West African life during the biggest season of the year.
