EP. 5 - ATHENA KUGBLENU

Standup comedian and writer Athena Kugblenu spills the beans on her upbringing as a Xennial (a member of the micro generation trapped between Gen X and Millennials) to Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears. Though best known for performing on shows like 'Mock the Week,' writing for 'Horrible Histories' and presenting Radio 4 / BBC Sounds 'Athena's Cancel Culture' it's her work as a project manager on one of the most exciting events in human history that most intrigues Gareth and Esyllt. We also get to hear how world events impacted Athena's early work delivering newspapers, her disappointment at the unambitious predictions in 'Back to the Future 2' and the one gadget she'd like to see included in the Xennial Dome.Get involved.
