Thus Far

As the city settles, Eskay shares thoughts fresh from a transformative trip – a true "soul recharge." This episode touches on the magic of reconnecting, the necessity of breaking routine to clear the mental static, and finding comfort in the familiar upon return. Eskay reflects on shifting perspectives, the humorous realities of parenthood, our modern habit of endless scrolling and digital hoarding, and encourages listeners to find their own escape and act on long-saved inspirations.

Childhood memories, adult desires, and the chaos of modern relationships! Eskay and special guest, Thelma, talk about it all, from decoding women's 'undressing' glances to navigating the awkwardness of social media feuds. Plus, why do women hold onto those old messages? Prepare for a hilarious and eye-opening conversation.

In this first episode of the year, we explore the concept of "fvcks" – your limited pool of emotional and mental energy – and why it's crucial to be mindful of how you spend them.  It's like your life savings account, except instead of dollars, you're dealing with precious emotional currency. And just like money, if you spend it all on stupid crap, you're gonna end up broke and miserable.   Oh, and Happy New Year to you and yours! May your fucks be limited this year, and your smiles be plenty!    With Love of course. 

Join us for a candid and thought-provoking conversation about the intricacies of love, relationships, and infidelity. In this episode, we delve into the controversial topic of dating a married man, exploring the motivations behind such actions and the potential consequences. We also examine why people choose to remain in unhappy marriages while seeking external validation.

We are officially in my birthday month so, let's talk birthdays! You know that whole cycle, right? We're welcomed into the world with fanfare, birthday parties are a yearly tradition, and then... crickets? It's weird, isn't it? We go all out for the beginning and the end, but what about all the amazing stuff in between? In this episode, I want to challenge that. I'm talking about celebrating the people we love, not just when they're born or gone, but while they're here, breathing the same air as us. Forget the generic "Happy Birthday" spam; what if we focused on genuine messages, words straight from the heart that truly show how much someone means to us? Wouldn't that be something? Let's turn birthdays into "you-logies" - celebrations of life overflowing with real love and appreciation. Because trust me, a heartfelt message goes a long way further than some internet copy-and-paste job. Imagine making every day feel like a birthday for the people who make your world brighter! So, buckle up, my friends. Let's talk about celebrating life, all of it, because you know what? We deserve it!

Buckle up, buttercups! This episode is a glorious mess (in the best way). Remember @Come_Dine_Neni from the podcast vortex we got lost in last time? Well, we dove back in, and guess what? We completely forgot our talking points AGAIN. Instead, we went straight to our happy place: bota (wine, for the uninitiated)! But hey, between the giggles and questionable coping mechanisms, we got REAL about the struggles of married life. From making sure the "downstairs party" is poppin' to accidentally saying "I do" before you're ready to clean toilets for eternity. Prepare for an episode that's equal parts insightful (we tried, okay?) and hilarious (because let's face it, our forgetfulness is a gift). #ThusFarStillClueless #WineFixesEverything #PodcastLife #MarriageSurvivalGuide

In this episode I was joined by one of my most favorite humans, Come_dine_neni_263  and the plan was to talk about  our trip to and how we met for the first time in Zimbabwe but we ended up talking about everything else (bota related)    iIs been almost a year since the last episode but here we go again! #EscapeWithMe #FindYourEscape

What could have been a the scariest moment in my life back in 2019, became my greatest and my latest inspiration.  Defining moments are rare but when they do come, your mind has to be ready to receive whatever lessons life has to give.  #FindYourEsKape 

If I tell you that this was recorded months ago, you would not believe me. but its true. I have 4 other episodes after this one that I haven't uploaded for whatever reason. At this point I feel that I need a Personal Assistant to help me keep up with life in general. lol. and because of that I will be hiring a PA if you are interested please hit me up.  Hoping that I find you well and in good heath.  In this episode I continue the conversation about friends leaving and friendships ending. I also talk about the radio show that is now streaming exclusively on Mixcloud.com you should really check that out because that's where I'm spending too much of my time.   

I hope its not too late to say happy new year to you and yours. I hope the year got off to a great start for you and you are in good health. As you navigate in this new year, I hope you find what you're looking for. I hope life treats you kind and your hopes and dreams come to life. May you find peace when you need it, answers to the questions that you might have and great success and blessings in all that you do.   I hope to "Escape" with you in this year and beyond so stay close.   Have an awesome 2022, and God bless. :)   Yours till one of us dies,    Eskay (Dj Wangu)

I came across this love letter to the microphone that I wrote in November of 2016 and in this episode I wanted to share the connection between me and the airwaves. I truly believe that I was born to do and this may just be the first day of finding my way back to where I truly belong.    Dear Microphone.    I miss you. It has only been a few weeks since I felt you, touched you, spoke to you but it feels like I've been away for years. I deeply, deeply miss you. I never realized how much impact you had on me till today where I've found myself reminiscing on all the best moments that we have shared over the years.    Do you remember the first day we met when you chose me to speak through you to the rest of the world? Do you remember how shy I was and scared I was to express all these emotions and yet  you guided me and showed me the way, and since then even in my sleep words to you roll off my tongue so easily and effortlessly, you are amazing.    I remember how you taught me what to say and how to say it, how you showed me that speaking through you was a huge responsibility and I needed to plan and be sure before I said anything to the world. I remember spending hours with you before we went on our  airwaves escapades, just to share ideas, thoughts and plan for the best expression of thoughts and emotions.    Together you and I captured hearts across the world, we spoke to mankind, changed their mindsets, showed them reason. We were always a good team and I miss that. I remember that we would always speak and preach the gospel of love, and I suppose my time had come to practice what we preached, crossing the Atlantic ocean to be with the woman I loved. I suppose you were just preparing me for a moment like this. But I gotta tell you that it's not easy being away from you. We had become one, and I want that with you again. Time and space cannot hold us back from being together again can it? I think not, and I know in my heart of hearts that sooner than later we will speak again.    I have already started making plans for us to be together again, and soon I will be speaking to you and with you. We will share more special Moments and escape again to places far too deep for words.    Thank you for being a friend, and for being the voice of so many across the world. if you can, just tell everyone who has that deep connection with us, that it's not over. We are creating a deeper meaning to all this, finding sweeter melodies and preparing for more, heart stopping escapades and this  will leave them gasping and pulsating for more.    Until then do take care.    Love Always   Eskay (Dj Wangu)

"If you listen to your body whisper, you wont have to hear it scream"    In this episode its all about taking care of your mental health, something that we often taken for granted until we actually have to do it.  Just sharing a glimpse into my personal journey with the subject and why I needed to push the reset button.    #ThusFar #ThusFarPodcast #Eskay #DjWangu #NothingElseMatters #KingOfHearts #Podcasts #MentalHealth #MindBodyAndSoul #PositiveVivesOnly #DjEskay     

So in life, I almost never have nightmares. My dreams are usually about money, Food, Music, Toni Braxton, and things of that nature. lol.

In this episode it was just a quick conversation with my 2 year old daughter Kandice, wishing me and the many great Dad's out there a happy fathers day. Suffice to say, I had a great day just hanging out with the most important person in my life. Whenever we are together, I feel I can do anything, she is my latest and my greatest inspiration and absolutely, nothing else matters.   I really thought we could talk talk for 30 minutes but I was very wrong. lol.   #ThusFarPodcast    #KandiceWithaK #NothingElseMatters  #DaddyDaughterDiaries  #YouAreMeIAmYou   

In my journey through life, I have come to realize that in our African culture there are certain expectations that society dictates and almost directs.
