by Tochi-Maureen Iruke
Nosy With Intent is a cultural diary disguised as a podcast. It's where media, culture, and society get decoded, dissected, and overanalyzed through a curious lens. Join host Tochi Iruke, a Nigerian-American young woman, and chronic over-thinker, as she unpacks the chaos of pop culture, society, and lets face it, the human condition. One spiral, hot take, and nosy question at a time. A safe place for smart conversations, cultural commentary, comedy and general overthinking.
