    23419 is an exhilarating journey deep into a topic everyone knows, but few really know

    about. Ms Onyenwe has done the research so you don’t have to. The piece dives deep into the inner workings, and the people and voices behind the numbers. Can’t wait for season 2!

  • The Best Pod in the world at this time

    Wao! Do you want to listen to a podcast that’s like going to the cinema watching a movie ? This podcast will give you that feel. To be frank, it deserves an access fee of $10/episode. The producers definitely need a Patreon account as this shouldn’t be free content. The production is rich and will arrest anyone’s attention till the very latest second. I enjoyed this PoD and subscribed to listen to the next release
