Free The People

The Culture Custodianshows.acast.com


We all have stories to tell, so every fortnight Ada and Mayowa ply friends with food and drinks in exchange for those stories. It’s group therapy, meets open-mic, meets kickback.


Our goal is simple: archiving the Nigerian experience to capture all the nuances of today's culture.
