It’s the podcast you never asked for. We are no mythologists (shoutout Wikipedia), just two young Nigerians eager to discover the richness of African storytelling and culture. We’ll recount myths and legends about warriors, heroes, gods and goddesses from the incredibly diverse African pantheons in a fun, contemporary way, drawing parallels with pop culture on the continent and beyond. It’s all vibes, NOT juju— really.

Don't miss our thoughts on the various portrayals of African deities in TV and film, and hear us wax lyrical about our not-so-secret obsession with Annette from Castlevania: Nocturne.
