The Culture Gap in the Industry No One's Talking About With @kidsofthecolony

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by the Kids of the Colony – Abu Finiin, Kayum Miah, and Zak Hajjaj – three London-born friends who are making waves online by documenting powerful, funny, and deeply personal journeys to their ancestral homelands: Bangladesh, Morocco, and Somaliland. Through their viral docuseries and social media content, they explore identity, culture, and what it means to reconnect with your roots. From meeting family in remote villages to sharing real stories from the diaspora, these guys are flipping the script on travel and representation.⏰ Chapters 00:00 – 🎙️ Intro 02:20 – 🌍 Meet the Kids of the Colony 11:00 – 📺 Manifesting a Spot on TV 12:50 – 🤝 How the Group Met 13:00 – 🧠 Pitching Ideas to TV Networks 21:40 – 🐉 The "Enter the Dragon" Moment 26:00 – 🚀 Vision for the Channel’s Future 29:00 – 💼 Why Going Corporate Could Kill It 36:15 – 🇬🇷 Greece Adventures 42:00 – ❄️ Cold Showers in Somaliland 50:00 – 🤢 Vomit or Crap Forever?
