Free The People

We all have stories to tell, so every fortnight Ada and Mayowa ply friends with food and drinks in exchange for those stories. It’s group therapy, meets open-mic, meets kickback. Our goal is simple: archiving the Nigerian experience to capture all the nuances of today's culture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
