What's up, good people! After an 8-month hiatus, I’m thrilled to announce my return from a period of intense overwork in Japan, back to my true passion: transforming the art of conversation into a podcast episode!
It's been a journey since January, filled with attempts and anticipation, but the wait is finally over. We're still in Season 3, and it's time to wrap things up with a bang!
This week, we're incredibly excited to welcome back a true friend of the show, a familiar voice you might remember from Season 2, Episode 2 - the giant himself, Max Kasasa! Join us as we explore a diverse range of captivating topics.
Expect our signature blend of humour, interwoven with thoughtful discussions on serious issues that impact us and those around us every single day.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this much-anticipated return!
Yuzo and I dive into a deep and meaningful discussion about her music career and the music space in South Korea, where it all began for her. We also talk about her sexuality, what is next for her and what she would like to achieve moving forward. Keep in touch with Yuzo, and follow her instagram: yuzopia.
This week, we have a guest from Sweden. Meet KW, yes, KW - he has asked to remain as anonymous as possible and of course, we should respect and honour his wishes. We spent time talking about topics worth talking about, over lunch (Boiled Eggs & Naartjies). Enjoy

Season 3, Episode 2 and the I'm An Expert At Nothing But Myself Podcast is back with another banger! The days have been getting busier and busier but I have missed podcasting.
Join Fin MacD and me as we get to know each other through the use of the pod! This has never been about me, starting this pod was never meant to be about me. The title is very misleading but that's the best part, I guess. But trust me - I am here because I am fascinated by humans and their stories. Grab your popcorn and indulge!

I told you I'd be back, you just had to believe me. Trust me when I said that, "this podcasting thing isn't a hobby," I meant it! It started as a coping mechanism but I am enjoying it. There are days that I sit back and think there is a lot that I could improve on but of course, like anything, that comes with time.
There isn't much I can tell you but dive in and listen to this crazy, yet nourishing talk and walk episode.
Welcome to Season 3 folks!

Remember Lara Gilmartin from Season 1 Episode 2? Yes, her - she has made a return and this time we aren’t talking about what things were like when we dated. We talk about politics! What is going on in the world? Are we satisfied with our current leaders? I don’t know - Lara and I have a bone to pick with the world, so we did exactly that. Join us.

Let this be a disclaimer that we’re not experts in mental health, what was spoken about was all based on personal experience. Moving on, meet Maxime Kasasa - a friend, musician, traveller, Animé fan, and my first male podcast guest. We are no experts at anything but ourselves - interestingly enough, we never really become experts at anything (I’d like to think) but we’re here to figure it out. Listen to Maxime and I unpack, discover, banter and create a worthwhile episode.

Sarah, a good friend of mine from Bern, Switzerland - and I engage in one of the most complex topics out there in the world. Sarah and I often challenge each other intellectually, and I believe that is what has kept our friendship alive over these past 4 years. Join Sarah and me as we talk about how being in interracial relationships has either made us curious, hurt or enlightened.
