Welcome back for Part II! This time with a guest, and one of my long-term besties! Listen to us lose our minds, as Gilley doubles down on why colonialism ruled, and independence (for black people) droolz

Saknas det avsnitt?

Aileen has some demons to work through, and one of them is people who think that colonialism has a bad rep and should make a comeback like it’s fucking mom jeans in the late 2010s-early 2020s. Oh, and like colonialism went away, which it never did.
There are no digressions this time. It is just pure, directed pettiness.

I moved, and I’d like to talk about my new city. In particular, the Statue that greets you as you enter. And this means, talking about British imperialism, the politics of memory and the nature of commemoration.
Just remember, I really tried to breathe this time before I let the petty out lol

Hello everyone!
Welcome to part II of our Experiment! In this phase, we learn that our real enemy was neither the sound quality, nor patience, but sunlight. The sun quit before we did hahaha

Hello everyone!
You get to be part of not just one experiment but two! For this two-parter, Aileen and Kariithi talk about everything and anything as we try to record a video podcast for the first time (Experiment I) and see what is in shorter supply, our patience or our whiskey (Experiment 2).
Drinks were provided by us, although we will not turn down sponsorship from KWAL (whose beverages inspired much of the drunken conversations that inspired this podcast)

In this special, Aileen contextualises the James Finlay saga; explaining that they are a symptom of an exploitative system that benefits the dynasties at the expense of hustlers. The kind of system the Government may, ultimately, be invested in maintaining.
