Made In 97 Podcast

We're back with another episode and our first guest of the season. Everyone meet "Mo" our Gen Z lil' bro! We wanted to have an on-air discussion with a "Gen Z'r" to understand how they go about navigating life, especially the dating pool in comparison to us as millennials. Mo comes with the male perspective and we'll be getting a female perspective in the near future. In the meantime, have a listen to the "slackness" of the Gen Z generation and our responses.

Guy's we're back with another episode. We touch on how far would/could you go to defend yourself physically from an abuser (triggered by Yem's Netflix reviews, SPOILER ALERT). We focus on consent and the importance of it, not just in dating but also in marriage. You'll get a preview of some of our experiences of consent and lack thereof ("Oui", or should we say 'renna started to get a little too free near the end, but you know how it goes lol).

Well guys look what the cat dragged in! Yes, we're back after an unscheduled break. As we mention life was dealing with us but we haven't gone anywhere, can't get rid of us that easily. With that being said we get straight into it, the male species and their bad, uncontrolled behaviour! You'll hear why we can't start visuals yet, which one of us thinks the standard wedding vows template needs amending, and much more! We're happy to be back, reconnect with us and welcome to our new listeners! P.S.

People.....we're still here, ain't goin' nowhere! Have a listen to see where we've been. We're following on from our previous episode on parenthood.

We're back with a topic we haven't really touched on, PARENTHOOD. This is a subject that means a lot to both of us. We delve into how many children we wanted/want, under what circumstances would we consider having more children if we were already "at capacity" lol! We also touch on surrogacy and adoption etc. Have a listen and let us know how you relate to this subject. Enjoy! P.S.

People!! And just like that, we're back with another one! Is it just us or has blue therapy been triggering?! If you don't know what the hype’s about just type "blue therapy" into youtube and you'll know what we're talking about. We get into a debate we've had off-air many times RE: older guys v younger guys in our terms, "Zaddy V Toy Boy". Which one of us do you think has a thing for Zaddy's and which one would go for a toyboy? There's a lot of laughs in this episode, I think we got a little too loud for the mic at some points hence the dip in sound. Please excuse our sound AGAIN *sigh*, we need a new interface long story but we'll get there.  Thanks for sticking with us through it all, Lot's of love!

Well people, this is going to be a very interesting conversation.   We review a few of the celebrity issues that have cropped up including the Derrick "Jackass" Jaxn situation! We then jump into our topic, " Should men hold financial responsibility in relationships?". We don't exactly see eye to eye on this one, have a listen and let us know your take on this controversial subject. P.S. We've upgraded our laptops and it's seemed to affect our sound *sigh*. Don't worry we'll fix it ASAP. We apologise in advance. Enjoy! Insta: Made in 97 Pod Twitter: @Madein97 Pod Email: [email protected] Hash tag: #Mi97

Well guys...This episode topic is "heavy" but it's real. We've seen many manifestations of domestic violence in the media over the past few weeks and we both felt that it was appropriate to discuss at this present moment. In this episode you'll find, one of us gets caught off guard, the other heard a word from God and there's a big revelation leading to cries and eventually laughs.  Ultimately, we want man, woman, cat, or dog to know you're mother never birthed you for someone to abuse you! That's not the purpose of your life! There's help out there. If you don't know where to go, there are many ways to contact us (see below) and we'll do all we can to help. Lot's of love guys! Enjoy the episode! Insta: Made in 97 Pod Twitter: @Madein97 Pod Email: [email protected] Hash tag: #Mi97

We’re back with another one! Before we get into the subject we get roasted by our guest (it wouldn't be Fumbi without a roasting session we promise we get to the subject eventually!) In this episode, we focus on the pressures of marriage in the black community and everything else that comes with it. With both of us being married (one going through a divorce) we can tell you from experience MARRIAGE IS NO JOKE! Funmbi Omatayo aka Funmbz gives his perspective on the subject from a bachelor's point of view with a sprinkle of banter.  A little word for anyone out there that considering getting married as a result of pressure, take it from us DON'T DO IT (unless the marriage is what YOU actually want).  People, if you’re going to venture down the road of marriage, apply wisdom, use your head, and nobody else’s. To reiterate MARRIAGE IS NO JOKE! With that being said, Enjoy the episode! Insta: Made in 97 Pod Twitter: @Madein97 Pod Email: [email protected] Hash tag: #Mi97

So it's that time again... Welcome back to another episode!  We have Lawrence as a guest today and we're getting his perspective on what he's been through in order to be in his son's life. We're aware that there are men out there that actually care about their relationship with their child(ren) and actually follow it up with actions! At the same time, we touch on how some men can feel defeated and give up hope. This one is for the men who need some encouragement, the sacrifice will be worth it in the end!  Enjoy the episode!

It's episode 5 guys! It feels like we've been doing this for years now, we're definitely getting comfortable with recording flow, we've got our new mic equipment (imagine, we've already upgraded...we're serious yall).   This episode we're focusing on feeling and being protected by men. There are violations all over, up and down with men abusing women in one way or another.  You'll see if we feel protected by men or not.  Let us know how you feel and your experiences.  Enjoy the episode!
