  Step back in time with me to 1977, to a cultural event so monumental it was dubbed the "Black World's Fair." In this episode, we journey to Lagos, Nigeria, for FESTAC '77, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture. What made this month-long celebration a landmark of Black pride and unity, and why does its legacy still echo nearly fifty years later? I'll share insights from my conversation with Roy Lewis, the official photographer for the North American zone, who was there to capture it all. Join me as we explore the story of this incredible gathering of artists, thinkers, and performers from across the African diaspora and uncover a piece of our history that continues to inspire.   Chapters (0:00) - Intro (1:29) - A Journey Back to FESTAC '77 (6:15) - The Rigorous Road to Lagos (7:05) - Inside the Festival: A Cultural Feast (9:08) - The Lasting Legacy of FESTAC (11:53) - A Juneteenth Reflection and a Call to Imagine   Learn About Roy Lewis Festac 77 Documentary on YouTube: http://bit.ly/449xUIB Ebony Magazine Festac Edition: http://bit.ly/3T3WGoy   Support the Show Website: www.martineseverin.com Follow on Instagram: @martine.severin | @thisishowwecreate_ Subscribe to the Newsletter: www.martineseverin.substack.com This is How We Create is produced by Martine Severin.

This is an excerpt from a patrons episode. to hear the full thing and dozens more, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod and become a patron from £3 per month.In this patrons-only episode we welcome writer and anti-fascist activist Joe Mulhall to the show to discuss his fantastic book Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance, a survey across time and place of groups and cultures using musics as part of their resistance to forms of racism and imperialism. We hear about Irish rebel songs, Kneecap and an impromptu Irish history quiz in the toilets of a Wolftones gig; the role of Jazz, Blues and Soul in the Civil Rights Struggle; revisit Tropicalia with fresh eyes and ears; and fly to Nigeria to visit the Felabration in Lagos. Alongside these topics we consider how our personal tastes can divert from a music's political power, US cultural hegemony, music in the USSR, 'bone records', Two Tone, and bring things up to date with a trip to the trenches of Ukraine. We won't provide an order link here, but you can get the hardback of Rebel Sounds in your local bookshop, and the paperback is forthcoming in the Autumn. Thanks to Joe for joining us.

I HANDED In My NOTICE!! In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Join Up Dots, we're diving deep into the real stories behind the downloads. Every week, thousands of people across the globe tune in, seeking clarity, motivation, and a path to change. But today, we're flipping the mic around—sharing the voices of our listeners who are taking what they've learned and putting it into action. These are not influencers, celebrities, or gurus. They're people just like you—navigating challenges, building businesses, reclaiming their lives, and drawing inspiration from the journey we're all on together. You'll hear from Jessica in the Scottish Highlands who, after years of living by other people's expectations, finally took the leap toward a more creative and fulfilling life. She's enrolled in art therapy, preparing to take a sabbatical, and discovering what it means to live on her own terms. Her story is a testament to what happens when we stop asking for permission and start asking better questions. She wonders if David, too, had to strip everything back to discover his real path—and how he knew it was the right one. It's a reminder that growth often starts with surrender. From Seville, Carlos shares a quieter yet equally transformational shift. Once stuck in the hamster wheel of overwork, he's now reclaimed his peace by simplifying life. Inspired by our message to “control what you can,” he's walking to work, tuning into Join Up Dots, and discovering that success isn't always loud—it's often silent, deliberate, and deeply personal. We also hear from Mohan in Hyderabad, whose job loss became the spark for something far greater. While uncertainty and fear took centre stage at first, the show's encouragement to reframe failure gave him courage. Now, he's exploring copywriting and voiceover work—leaning into his storytelling skills and, for the first time in years, feeling a sense of purpose return. On the business front, three inspiring voices take us inside their online journeys. Natalie from Wellington finally broke free from her 9–5, building a content writing business she once thought was out of reach. After two years of listening on lunch breaks, she handed in her notice. It wasn't an overnight success, but it was a deliberate one—powered by clarity, belief, and consistent action. Meanwhile, Emily in Vancouver celebrates her first digital sale after launching a template store for creatives. Her voice beams with pride as she shares how letting go of perfection and following the "just launch it" mentality gave her the breakthrough she'd been waiting for. What's even more exciting is that she still walks the streets of Vancouver listening to the show, now as a business owner rather than just a dreamer. Then there's Jake from Lagos, still deep in the trenches of research but already making moves. His business idea—to connect local artisans with global customers—is in development, and he's conducting user interviews to build something real. He writes with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity, asking David how to know when an idea is worth pushing or when it's time to pivot. That question resonates with anyone who's ever stood at the crossroads of action and doubt. Of course, no Join Up Dots episode would be complete without acknowledging the people who aren't just taking the lessons—but who want to understand how David built the life they now admire. Benji in Bristol writes with admiration and a touch of obsession. He's reverse-engineering the lifestyle David now enjoys: time freedom, creative passion, and a deep sense of alignment. But he's also honest. How do you build a life like that without falling back into old patterns? What mindset shift has to happen first? From Cairo, Ahmed reflects on the challenge of having too many ideas and not enough certainty. He sees David's focus and wants to understand how to develop that same trust in a single direction. It's a question many face when starting something new—especially when every option feels both exciting and terrifying. And then there's Sophie in Hamburg, who found connection not through polished stories of success, but in David's admission of struggle. She references a moment in an early episode—David hiding in the bathroom during a corporate event—and says that's when it clicked. The power of vulnerability, of honesty, and of admitting when things aren't quite right yet. That's what made her believe change was possible. Each of these voices represents more than just a listener—they're a living, breathing part of the Join Up Dots community. And today's episode is about recognising that your story, your struggle, and your small wins matter. Whether you're starting a business, shifting your life, or just figuring things out—you're not alone. We're all joining the dots, one decision at a time. So if you've ever thought, “I'm not sure I can do this,” listen to these stories. If you've ever asked, “Where do I begin?”—start right here. These aren't fairytales. These are footsteps you can follow. And once you've listened, don't keep it to yourself.

There are moments in life that break us and moments that remake us. Mo Isom Aiken's story is one of both. From an Elite Division 1, All-American athlete to a woman haunted by trauma, addiction, and suicidal despair, Mo's life took a dramatic turn when a near-fatal car crash became the very altar where heaven met earth. What followed was a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit that not only saved her life, but ignited a transformation so complete it would ripple through her marriage, her motherhood, and her mission around the world. This isn't just a story of redemption. It's a call to awaken to the invisible spiritual warfare waging over every soul—and to the freedom that comes with surrendering everything.In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Mo Isom Aiken for an unfiltered, deeply moving conversation that spans trauma, healing, and the raw power of a life fully yielded to Jesus. Mo opens up about growing up in the Bible Belt, navigating father wounds and performance-based identity, and the spiritual warfare that nearly claimed her life. Together, they explore Mo's radical encounter with God in the wreckage of her Jeep, the prophetic call that led her family from a fifth-wheel RV across 48 states to the mission fields of Nigeria, and the power of intercession that reshaped her view of prayer entirely.This episode is for the believer who feels stuck in cycles of shame or silence, the seeker longing to hear God's voice again, or the weary warrior who needs to remember what it means to defect from the kingdom of darkness and live fully alive in Christ.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Gain deeper understanding of how a supernatural encounter with God can occur amidst unimaginable personal tragedy.Learn how radical obedience—like selling everything and living in an RV—can unlock divine provision and spiritual growth.Reflect on the importance of prayer, spiritual warfare, and intimacy with the Holy Spirit in a chaotic world.Become Part of Our Mission!

That lie keeps us stuck, powerless, and numb to God's call.Cultural Christianity is an illusion; we should consider what full surrender actually looks like.Mo Isom Aiken, a former All-American athlete turned revivalist and prophetic voice shares her story of defection from darkness—and the fire of obedience that followed.[02:56] Mo Isom Aiken: Childhood and Early LifeMo discovered her identity through competitive sports.Despite being raised in a Christian household, her faith was cultural and lacked deep personal roots.She describes the impact of early exposure to pornography and the pressure of performance-based love from her father.Her struggle with an eating disorder and need for control remained hidden behind a mask of success.[12:22] Transition to College and Personal StrugglesAt LSU, Mo excels as an All-American goalkeeper but continues battling inward brokenness.[13:02] Mo: “How much of my true self and my true life can people handle? Because they have this picture of me, and yet I am destroyed inside.”Her father committed suicide, devastating Mo both emotionally and spiritually.She turns to sexual sin, secrecy, and self-harm, wrestling with suicidal thoughts and tormenting spiritual voices.Though publicly praised, she describes living with private torment and deep spiritual oppression.[20:54] Spiritual Awakening and HealingMo survives a violent car crash and has a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit while trapped in the wreckage.She describes the weight and wonder of God's presence as overwhelming yet freeing.[22:58] Mo: “The kingdom of darkness was literally mad because things had been set up in my life that my gifts, my talents, my destiny, my anointing, my very God, given fingerprint of God, purpose was going to be leveraged for evil was going to advance the kingdom of darkness, if not for the mercy of Jesus”In that moment, she chooses full surrender to Jesus and receives a baptism of fire.Her salvation marks a clear defection from darkness into God's Kingdom—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.[28:20] Recognizing God in the Midst of DarknessMo reflects on how God pursued her even during seasons of rebellion and bondage.She shares a deliverance session where a spirit confessed she had “defected” from its kingdom.The conversation highlights how spiritual warfare is strategic and real—but God's grace is more powerful.Mo encourages listeners to stop excusing bondage and fully embrace the invitation to be made whole.[33:22] Impact of Faith on Personal RelationshipsReturning to campus, Mo feels conviction and begins separating from old friends and sinful patterns.She committed herself to purity and obedience, even when it meant facing rejection and isolation.[39:07] Mo: “But if you won't separate yourselves from the ones who are holding you back from your destiny — then you've tightly gripped something God's asking you to open your hands about right? When you open your hands, when you let go of things, He will then, in time, refill what is His good portion.”Through FCA, she found a godly community, received a baptism at LSU, and experienced revival.A two-year intimacy fast sets the stage for meeting her husband, Jeremiah, and building a Christ-centered family.[46:45] Fifth Wheel Missions and Family LifeMo recalls receiving a prophetic word in college about living in a fifth-wheel RV and going on mission.A decade later, she and Jeremiah sell everything and travel the U.S. with their four kids, sharing the gospel.She shares how moments of humor and hardship—like a sewage overflow—shaped their faith and resilience.The RV season prepared them for deeper obedience and future international missions.[56:44] Mission to Nigeria and Angelic VisitMo recounts a dream where an angel tells her she'll go to Nigeria to forge a deeper connection to the divine.Initially resistant due to fear for her children, she surrenders and receives confirmation from her mentors.The family spent eight months in Lagos serving under Nigerian spiritual leaders.Their time becomes a season of discipleship, humility, and spiritual equipping for future ministry.[1:14:19] The Power of Prayer: Greatest Takeaway from NigeriaMo describes prayer as the single greatest lesson from their mission season.In Nigeria, daily prayer was non-negotiable—fostering spiritual strength, wisdom, and breakthrough.She challenges Western believers to move prayer from a fallback to a foundation.Prayer, she emphasizes, is the gateway to discernment, power, and intimacy with God.[1:21:24] Teaching the Next Generation to Prioritize PrayerMo and Reagan discuss the difficulty of maintaining a prayerful life amid Western busyness and distractions.Mo explains how she and Jeremiah are raising their children to see prayer as essential, not optional.They commit to resisting hustle culture and modeling devotion in everyday life.Mo calls for prayer warriors to arise—those who walk in reverence, not performance. [1:32:39] Spiritual Warfare and the Call to Live Fully SurrenderedMo prays a powerful blessing over listeners for renewal, healing, and sanctification.Revival begins in surrendered hearts, not just pulpits; it is in living God's Word to be kind and loving to all those around you.It is our time to live fully awake, defecting from darkness and advancing God's Kingdom with boldness. About Mo Isom AikenMo Isom Aiken is a prophetic voice, revivalist, and bestselling author whose life and ministry are marked by radical obedience, spiritual boldness, and supernatural transformation. A former all-American goalkeeper at LSU, Mo encountered the living God in a near-fatal car accident that became a divine turning point. From the ashes of trauma, addiction, and loss—including her father's suicide—Mo rose into deep intimacy with Jesus and a calling to call others out of darkness and into the light. With more than 14 years of experience speaking, teaching, and discipling, Mo now carries a powerful anointing for deliverance, prayer, and spiritual awakening.Alongside her husband Jeremiah and their four children, Mo lives as part of a family on mission—mobilizing across America in a fifth-wheel RV before being prophetically sent to Nigeria through an angelic encounter. Their journey is a living testimony of surrendered faith, courageous intercession, and generational restoration. Whether preaching in churches, serving the overlooked, or training others in spiritual warfare, Mo is driven by one purpose: to see Jesus made known, captives set free, and the Kingdom of God established on earth as it is in heaven.Connect with Mo on her website or socials: Instagram, Facebook, or X.Enjoyed this Episode?If you did, subscribe and share it with your friends!Post a review and share it!

Faz sentido que o último discurso de Marcelo tenha forte pendor sobre misturas históricas? Os discursos e as reações aos mesmos neste Antes Pelo Contrário em podcast, com Daniel Oliveira e Francisco Mendes da Silva. No discurso do 10 de Junho em Lagos, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa celebrou a miscigenação como essência da identidade portuguesa, afirmando que, após 900 anos, ninguém pode afirmar-se mais puro ou mais português do que outro. A cerimónia, marcada também pela intervenção da escritora e conselheira de Estado Lídia Jorge, destacou Lagos como símbolo histórico dos Descobrimentos e do tráfico de escravos, mas também de diversidade e reencontro. Marcelo apelou a um Portugal mais inclusivo, sublinhando a necessidade de "recriar" e "cuidar melhor da nossa gente", e defendeu que este “recriar Portugal” deve ser a prioridade no novo ciclo da história do país. O Antes Pelo Contrário foi emitido na SIC Notícias a 10 de junho.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“The kids were coming down for breakfast when these five men wearing cargo pants, big jackets arrived. They came into the third floor, stood in front of the bedroom door, took the three kids back in and told them to pack up. We heard them say: ‘You are going to be deported.' As soon as the other children heard then they were all crying. It was such a horrific scene.”This was how a resident in an IPAS centre in West Dublin described the scenes when families were deported last week and sent back to Nigeria.“This is not a pleasant part of my job,” Jim O'Callaghan said on RTE. On X he said, “Another deportation flight left Dublin last night and landed safely this morning in Lagos, Nigeria. There were 35 people on board who had received but had not complied with Deportation Orders.”On Free State today, Dion and Joe asked who these messages are aimed at? What is Ireland doing to combat the fantasies being spun by people like Conor McGregor about a lost Ireland that never existed?Is appealing to those with concerns about immigration necessary to head off the far right or is this world without compassion and empathy Ireland's dystopian future?

This episode of Visual Intonation dives into the quiet power and creative pulse behind emerging Nigerian filmmaker Unwana Uteh. With works like Heartbreaks & Ocean Waves and Las Flores de la Vida, Uteh crafts stories that ripple with intimacy and cultural resonance. His films, though understated in scope, speak volumes about emotion, identity, and the layered beauty of everyday life. From the bustling heart of Surulere to the vibrant halls of UNILAG, Uteh's journey is as textured as his storytelling. With roots in institutions like Yaba Tech Secondary and Command Secondary School in Ibadan, his formative years wove together discipline and vision. That grounding becomes clear in how he collaborates: always attentive, always tuned to the emotional frequency of a scene. In this conversation, we explore his creative process: how he builds narratives, the role collaboration plays in his work, and how Lagos, with all its chaos and color, breathes into his stories. We touch on the challenges of being an emerging voice in Nollywood and the delicate balance between artistic integrity and audience reach. Join us for a lyrical, layered dialogue with Unwana Uteh: where visuals meet voice, and where every frame tells more than just a story. This is not just about film; it's about how art pulses through the streets of Lagos, finding its way into the hands of a filmmaker who's just getting started. Unwana Uteh's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/unwanautehUnwana Uteh's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uteh_unwana/?hl=enUnwana Uteh's Twitter: https://x.com/unwanautehUnwana Uteh's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12725375/Unwana Uteh's LinkedIn: https://ng.linkedin.com/in/unwana-uteh-20808b1a6Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Greetings Glocal Citizens! As we hit the halfway mark on 2025 our treat this week is a thought-provoking conversation with Wana Udobang, a multifaceted writer, poet, performer, curator, and storyteller based in Lagos, Nigeria. I met Wana last year during the Pa Gya! Literary Festival in Accra where she faciliated her own unique writing workshop - “Comfort Food” a storytelling and poetry workshop that uses food as a conduit to explore memories, history, joy, and healing which was born out of her culinary quality time during the pandemic. In this lively conversation we cover Wana's extensive body of work which encompasses her journey of becoming a creative professional in Nigeria, her spoken word albums and how she has honed her craft building a framework for entrepreneurship using various storytelling platforms.

The heat seems to be back under those trade tensions between the US and China - we'll hear why Beijing has accused the US of “seriously violating” the trade truce between the pair, and look at how it plans to respond in just a moment Also plans to boost internal trading and turbocharge the Canadian economy - that's on the agenda as the country's State leaders meet with the Central Government against perhaps the most difficult economic backdrop Canada has ever faced, in its own trade dispute with the US. And we'll hear how the city of Lagos hopes to persuade commuters out of their cars and onto the water... You can contact us on WhatsApp or send us a voicenote: +44 330 678 3033.

Power isn't given—it's built.In this landmark 100th episode, we break down why real power isn't inclusive, why access doesn't equal authority, and what it actually takes to lead, decide, and protect what you've built.

Bernard Laurendeau built Ethiopia's first licensed payment system operator, advised the Prime Minister's office on job creation, and now operates from Tokyo helping Japanese billions find their way into African markets. But he has a contrarian message: Africa needs to stop chasing sexy tech and focus on boring infrastructure first.In this conversation, we explore:Why he respects unknown Lagos entrepreneurs more than Mark ZuckerbergHow Ethiopia needs 10,000 new jobs daily to avoid catastropheWhy aid has been "market disrupting" for African developmentThe difference between being a cultural chameleon and having real cultural intelligenceHis journey from management consultant to fintech CEO and backWhy African entrepreneurs are the "Indiana Jones and MacGyvers" of businessBernard shares candid insights about building in hostile environments, the importance of patient capital, and why African leaders need to become more comfortable with power. His unique perspective as someone who's navigated Ethiopian, French, American, and Japanese business cultures offers invaluable lessons for anyone interested in emerging markets.

Fungal diseases are becoming more common, more dangerous, and more difficult to treat. There's concern that they may cause the next global pandemic. Rising global temperatures, better survival rates for vulnerable patients, and increased medical interventions contribute to the rise in fungal infections. Access to effective diagnostics and treatment remains limited, with significant disparities between high and low-income countries. Treating fungal infections is becoming more challenging as they build resistance to the drugs used to treat them. New therapies are being developed, including treatments that disrupt fungal DNA replication or interfere with essential proteins, offering some hope for long-term control.Contributors: Adilia Warris, Professor in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, University of Exeter, UKRita Oladele, Professor of Clinical Microbiology, University of Lagos and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, NigeriaArturo Casadevall, Professor and Chair of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USMichael Bromley, Professor in Fungal Disease, University of Manchester, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Louise Clarke Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production co-ordinator: Tammy Snow(Image: Aspergillus fumigatus, seen under an optical microscope.

Il y a exactement 50 ans, le 28 mai 1975, quinze pays ouest-africains s'accordent pour établir la Cédéao, la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Il aura fallu pas loin de dix ans pour concrétiser l'idée d'union économique, d'abord portée à l'origine par le président du Liberia, William Tubman. Puis c'est bien grâce à la détermination du Nigérian Yakubu Gowon et du Togolais Gnassingbé Eyadéma que ces quinze États signent le Traité de Lagos. Retour sur le contexte de création de l'organisation. De notre correspondant à Abuja, Le général Yakubu Gowon savoure l'instant, ce 28 mai 1975 à Lagos. Le président Léopold Sédar Senghor a délégué son Premier ministre Abdou Diouf. Mais l'Ivoirien Félix Houphouët-Boigny et neuf autres chefs d'État écoutent religieusement le discours de leur pair nigérian habillé en uniforme militaire d'apparat. Yakubu Gowon : « C'est un jour mémorable, le résultat d'un effort persistant de la part des dirigeants de tous les coins de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Un autre pas important et concret pour donner des effets pratiques aux aspirations que nous nous sommes tous efforcés depuis le début de la dernière décennie d'amener à la fusion. »De 1972 à 1975, le président nigérian et son homologue togolais, Gnassingbé Eyadéma défendaient lors d'une tournée ouest-africaine le concept de l'intégration régionale. Yaouza Ouro Sama est l'actuel greffier en chef à la cour de justice de la Cédéao. Pour lui, le Traité de Lagos a servi de colonne vertébrale à des nations dont l'indépendance était récente à l'époque. Youaza Ouro Sama : « Il y avait des États qui étaient en guerre, qui s'entredéchiraient. Il n'y avait aucun cadre dans lequel ils pouvaient discuter ou dialoguer pour mettre les choses en commun. On avait des économies fragmentées, des pays qui étaient non structurés. »La libre circulation des personnes devient l'un des acquis majeurs dès le démarrage de la Cédéao. Pourtant, jusqu'aux années 1990, traverser une frontière terrestre avec une pièce d'identité est loin d'être un réflexe pour des millions de Ouest-Africains. M. Tony Luka Elumelu est un ancien officier d'immigration : « La plupart des gens ne se déplaçaient pas avec un passeport. Ils se déplaçaient avec un document officiel. Comme au Nigeria et au Niger, à la frontière, il s'agissait simplement d'une autorisation fiscale délivrée par l'un ou l'autre pays. Et c'est ce que les gens utilisaient à l'époque pour traverser la frontière. »Cinquante ans après le Traité de Lagos, la Cédéao vit à l'ère numérique. Et son seul fondateur encore vivant, Yakubu Gowon, possède un passeport vert biométrique. Comme des millions de citoyens ouest-africains.À lire aussiGhana: la Cédéao célèbre ses 50 ans, l'organisation à la croisée des chemins►À lire dans les archives de RFI : Les illusions perdues

Why did the gods favor one woman over the other? What power did these twin boys hold that made even the oracle tremble?Discover how a divine birth led to the rise of sacred twin rituals, the fearsome balance between worlds, and a chilling mystery: Why do the Yoruba say, “The child has gone to Lagos,” when a twin dies?

“I threatened God, and something told me to jump into the water instead of threatening Him.”Popular hit song "Able God" singer, Chinko Ekun—once signed under Olamide's record label— shares with me how he lost it all.He talks about having one of the biggest hits in Nigerian music history with Able God, and how he never imagined it would blow the way it did. A few years later, the fame turned quiet, and  everything around him fell apart.He moved from a Lagos-based label to a Dubai-based one, searching for a fresh start. But instead of breakthrough, he lost the deal, his money to an investment scam, and his relationship. He talks about how he threatened God at the beach, he said “if you don't do something, I will bow to another god” and a voice told him to jump into the water instead.From chart-topping glory to silent heartbreak, from threatening God to rediscovering hope.This is a beautiful interview with Chinko Ekun we have never seen him before.And today, he shares how he's fine despite the loss.Watch all new and old full episodes here: www.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.com Donate to the work here: partner.withchude.com Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Exclusive Patron-only Content Hosted on Acast.
