She chased fame from Nigeria to Hollywood — writing songs, starring in films, and rubbing shoulders with celebrities. But behind the glitz was darkness: abuse, manipulation, spiritual attacks, and demonic encounters. Just when death seemed inevitable, Jesus stepped in. This is the chilling and redemptive true story of how Joy was rescued from the grip of the entertainment industry and radically transformed by the power of God.(Viewer discretion is advised due to mature content and spiritual warfare)Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast ⇨ https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast ⇨ https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Connect with Joy:Facebook ⇨ https://www.facebook.com/JoyEdjerenOfficialpage/Youtube ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@joyedjerenministryInstagram ⇨ https://www.instagram.com/joy_edjerenTikTok ⇨ https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_edjerenEmail ⇨ joyedjerenministry@gmail.comCredits:Testimony by Joy EdjerenDirected by Eric Villatoro Interviewed by Eric Villatoro Edited By Joshua GayleAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Production Assistant: Darvin Ramirez, Joshua GayleTestimony Recorded in San Antonio, TexasDelafé Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return. Chapters00:00 Introduction00:22 Warning00:26 Growing Up in Nigeria02:52 Being Molested as a Child07:11 Desiring Fame After Seeing an American Music Video10:05 Moving to the United States at 1312:43 Hustling, Stripping and Toxic Relationships18:41 Getting into the Music Industry23:41 Realizing How Dark the Music Industry Is26:50 Being Introduced to Nollywood30:59 Getting Involved with a Married Man36:36 Seeing Sexual Misconduct in the Nollywood Industry40:54 Desiring to Gain More Momentum in Nollywood47:01 Demonic Activity in the Industry52:27 Making Connections with Directors in Ghana54:52 Being Sexually Assaulted By a Director58:57 Going Back to Ghana1:00:13 The Lord Speaks to Me in a Dream1:02:11 Occultic Practices in Nollywood1:07:13 Trying to Seek God, Becoming an Alcoholic1:09:58 My Sinful Lifestyle Opened Doors for Me 1:12:08 Actresses Start Dying, My Health Starts Failing1:17:29 More Demonic Attacks, My Health Worsens1:22:39 My Relatives Pray for Me1:27:04 Giving My Life to Jesus1:28:36 Going Back to Ghana, then Nigeria1:35:08 The Lord Begins to Transform Me1:37:23 Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare1:42:16 Starting a New Life in America1:46:43 Meeting and Marrying My Husband1:48:58 Throwing Away All My Masters1:52:29 Why God Allows All the Warfare1:54:26 What God Has Taught Me the Last 13 Years1:57:55 For Those Who Desire to Be Great2:05:13 Who is Jesus To You?2:06:52 Prayer2:10:22 Final WordsFormer NOLLYWOOD Actress Gives Her Life to JESUS!

La stratégie d'hyperdistribution gagne les grands opérateurs audiovisuels français et pourraient bien profiter à des pays d'Afrique francophone Ce jeudi 3 juillet 2025, le groupe TF1 a annoncé le lancement de sa plateforme de streaming gratuite TF1+ dans 21 pays d'Afrique francophone, dont l'Algérie, le Burkina Faso, le Niger ou le Mali. On pourra y retrouver Plus Belle la vie, HPI ou encore Tout pour la lumière, le nouveau feuilleton de TF1. Pour cela, il suffit de télécharger l'application ou de passer par un téléviseur connecté. Mi-juin, le groupe a aussi signé un accord avec Netflix pour intégrer son offre et ainsi toucher 40% des treize millions d'abonnés de la plateforme en France qui ne regardent jamais ses programmes. Or Netflix sera aussi à la mi-juillet accessible dans 24 pays d'Afrique subsaharienne grâce à un accord avec Canal+ qui permettra de retrouver dans son abonnement l'accès aux séries du géant américain. Citons Lupin, Emily in Paris, Squid Game, mais aussi bien sûr les productions africaines comme Blood & Water, Unseen, King of Boys, Anikulapo, Blood Sisters et Kings of Jo'Burg. À lire aussiTélévision: en France, Netflix et TF1 annoncent un partenariat inédit France Télévisions a annoncé cette semaine un accord de distribution avec Prime Video d'Amazon Il ne touche pas spécifiquement l'Afrique, mais comme Prime Video est accessible dans des pays comme le Sénégal, la Côte d'Ivoire et le Mali, ses abonnés vont forcément en profiter. Un espace dédié à France.tv sera ainsi accessible sur Prime avec ses 20 000 contenus comme Intervilles ou Un Si Grand soleil. On retrouve là une stratégie d'hyperdistribution qui avait été initiée par Bruno Patino, l'actuel patron d'Arte, qui a mis le maximum de contenus sur YouTube en considérant que la mission d'un service public était d'être vu le plus possible. Cela peut se comprendre, mais quelle est la logique pour un groupe privé ?  À TF1, on parle de plus en plus de micro-paiements pour voir des épisodes avant diffusion, par exemple. Avec la publicité, cela pourrait compléter les revenus. Le monde de la création audiovisuel africain va aussi évoluer On l'a vu fin juin au Salon des contenus audiovisuels d'Abidjan, le SICA. Les plateformes internationales ne vont plus se contenter des séries de Nollywood pour assurer leurs programmes africains. C'est pourquoi autour d'Alex Ogou, de Mamane, bien connu de RFI, d'Alex Berger, de Charly Kodjo et bien sûr des réalisateurs Abderrahmane Sissako ou Dani Kouyaté, tout un tissu créatif gagne en intensité et en puissance. On parle du Bureau des légendes africain d'Axel Berger, mais aussi d'une comédie en douze épisodes de Mamane ou le super-héros africain est un bras cassé. Avec le rachat de MultiChoice par Canal+, ce sont de nouvelles perspectives sur tout le continent qui s'offrent à eux.    À lire aussiAlex Berger: «Mon ambition c'est de créer des séries avec des producteurs ivoiriens ou d'ailleurs»

En Afrique, il n'y a pas que le Nigeria qui développe l'industrie du cinéma. La Côte d'Ivoire veut aussi se lancer dans une production audiovisuelle ambitieuse. C'est l'enjeu du 3ᵉ SICA, le 3ᵉ Salon international du Contenu Audiovisuel, qui s'ouvre ce jeudi à Abidjan avec 300 professionnels de 25 pays différents. L'un des intervenants n'est autre qu'Alex Berger, le producteur du « Bureau des légendes », la série française de langue française la plus exportée dans le monde. À quand de grandes sociétés de production africaines ? En ligne d'Abidjan, le célèbre producteur français répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI: Alex Berger, c'est la deuxième fois que vous venez au Salon international du contenu audiovisuel à Abidjan. C'est une fidélité au SICA ? Alex Berger : Alors d'abord, je salue l'initiative. Pour la première fois en octobre dernier, je me suis rendu à Abidjan et j'ai pu rencontrer des gens formidables, aussi bien les autorités gouvernementales qui avaient un souhait et une vision intéressante pour justement faire de la Côte d'Ivoire un carrefour ou un hub de production sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest. J'ai trouvé ça très intéressant. En tant que producteur indépendant, nous avons beaucoup de séries et donc, l'année dernière, j'ai pu exposer à beaucoup de gens, des universitaires, des élèves, des producteurs non seulement de la Côte d'Ivoire, mais, de l'ensemble de l'Afrique. Et j'ai trouvé ça franchement extrêmement intéressant. Alors évidemment, beaucoup de gens viennent vous voir pour que vous racontiez comment est arrivé le grand succès du « Bureau des légendes ». J'imagine que vous êtes assailli par plein de jeunes producteurs ivoiriens et de toute l'Afrique qui vous demandent comment on fait, non ? Alors, j'explique quelle était notre ambition, quel était notre processus, quelle était notre exigence. Et j'explique l'absolu incroyable alignement d'étoiles que nous avons eues pour une série française en langue française qui est aujourd'hui le champion de France de l'export dans 120 pays du monde et évidemment la première franchise historique de Canal+. Et au bout de dix ans, puisqu'on a fêté le 27 avril dernier les dix ans du « Bureau des légendes », on est toujours dans le top 10 des émissions, des feuilletons et des séries de Canal+. Donc voilà, entre 95 et 100 millions de vues juste en France. À lire aussiCinéma africain: des productions ivoiriennes en quête de débouchés à Ouagadougou Alors, vous dites votre exigence, ça veut dire qu'avec Éric Rochant, vous avez travaillé et travaillé, notamment sur le narratif, c'est ça ? Évidemment, le génie d'Éric Rochant est d'avoir un muscle particulièrement développé pour trouver le romanesque à l'intérieur d'un univers fait de géopolitique, d'espionnage, de renseignement. Et donc voilà. Est-ce qu'il y a aujourd'hui de jeunes producteurs africains qui ont envie de suivre ce modèle porté par Éric Rochant et vous-même, est-ce qu'il y a des success stories possibles en Afrique centrale, en Afrique de l'Ouest ? Oui, j'en connais. D'abord, je vais mettre de côté le Nigeria qui est déjà un endroit très sophistiqué. Il y a beaucoup de producteurs. C'est le succès de Nollywood, bien sûr ? C'est Nollywood et c'est apprécié. Alors, pour répondre à ce que vous avez dit, ce qui est important pour moi, ça a été de rencontrer des gens comme Alex Ogou, des gens comme Mamane [également chroniqueur à RFI] directement à Abidjan. De voir quel était l'incroyable richesse que pouvaient apporter ces producteurs. Ils sont très talentueux, ils sont en train de faire des choses incroyables. Je n'ai aucune leçon à leur apprendre. En fait, ils sont juste limités parfois par le manque de moyens que les grands diffuseurs et les premiers diffuseurs n'ont pas. Il y a besoin d'un peu plus de formation. Je parlais avec une productrice qui s'appelle Kimberley Azria, qui fait aussi beaucoup de choses, qui m'impressionne beaucoup sur ce qu'elle fait. Elle vient de signer un accord au Bénin pour une nouvelle série. Et donc c'est très excitant, pour un vieux producteur indépendant comme moi, de voir cette richesse et cette jeunesse qui est en train de tout casser. Moi, mon ambition, c'est d'essayer d'aider à créer une ou plusieurs séries avec des producteurs ivoiriens ou d'ailleurs. Mais en tout cas, c'est mon ambition. On me dit Alex Berger que, l'an dernier, lors de votre première visite au SICA, vous avez évoqué la possibilité de créer une version africaine du « Bureau des légendes ». C'est vrai ? Absolument. Nous sommes en train de développer une version localisée, en tout cas en Afrique de l'Ouest, du « Bureau des légendes ». On a écrit un script, on a des gens qui travaillent dessus et c'est n'est pas simple. Parfois la géopolitique va plus vite que nos scénaristes et donc on est obligé d'adapter. Mais en effet, il y a une version qui est en train d'être développée du « Bureau des légendes » et donc voilà. Et qu'on pourra voir d'ici combien de temps ? Alors, j'aimerais pouvoir vous répondre vite. Je pense que ce n'est pas réaliste de dire que ce sera à l'antenne avant 2027. Vous avez déjà le titre ou pas ? « Le bureau secret » ou « Le bureau Afrique ». À lire aussiAudiovisuel en Côte d'Ivoire: des initiatives privées pour pallier le manque de main-d'œuvre

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

For this episode, I talk about my lifelong fascination with the art of movies. From the Nollywood movies that sparked my interest to the new ones that I still love now.

Courtroom battles are reshaping the film industry in ways that affect everyone from A-list stars to streaming subscribers. When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release, she wasn't just fighting for her paycheck—she was challenging how talent gets compensated in the digital age. The resulting alleged $40 million settlement forced studios everywhere to rewrite contracts with streaming contingencies.Meanwhile, across the globe, Nigerian filmmaker Femi Adebayo made history with a judgment against digital pirates who cleverly misused his film's promotional materials. His three-year legal fight established crucial precedent for Nollywood creators and signaled that copyright protection extends beyond Hollywood's borders.Technology continues to create fascinating legal disruptions. When Quentin Tarantino announced plans to auction Pulp Fiction NFTs, Miramax quickly filed suit, arguing his 1993 contract never contemplated blockchain tokens. Though they settled privately, the dispute highlighted how decades-old agreements struggle to address technologies that didn't exist when the ink dried.The most provocative developments involve artificial intelligence. Buenos Aires prosecutors are challenging their own government for failing to regulate AI systems that clone faces and voices without consent, framing digital identity as a constitutional right. Simultaneously, Chinese courts ruled that images created with AI tools can receive copyright protection—but only when significant human creativity guides the process.From Japanese courts imposing record penalties against "fast movie" channels that condense films into unauthorized summaries to European judges limiting what information YouTube must share about copyright infringers, these cases collectively demonstrate that intellectual property law isn't just legal background noise—it's the script determining who controls the stories we love.Whether you're creating content, distributing it, or simply enjoying it as a fan, understanding these shifting legal frameworks provides a fascinating new lens through which to view your favorite films.

La propiedad intelectual en el mundo cinematográfico trasciende los reflectores para revelarnos batallas legales que definen el futuro del entretenimiento. Desde los glamorosos tribunales de Hollywood hasta las emergentes productoras de Nollywood, estas disputas moldean no solo quién controla las historias, sino cómo las consumimos.Desentrañamos el emblemático caso de Scarlett Johansson contra Disney, donde una superheroína enfrentó a un gigante del entretenimiento por el estreno simultáneo de "Black Widow" en streaming y cines, cambiando para siempre cómo se redactan los contratos en la industria. Te llevamos a Nigeria, donde la histórica victoria legal del actor Femi Adebayo sentó precedentes para creadores africanos contra la piratería digital, demostrando que los derechos de autor no son exclusivos de Occidente.La revolución tecnológica ha transformado radicalmente el panorama legal. Exploramos cómo Tarantino casi pierde el control de "Pulp Fiction" por vender NFTs sin autorización, mientras en Buenos Aires, la Fiscalía demanda al gobierno por no regular plataformas que permiten clonar voces e imágenes sin consentimiento. China empieza a reconocer derechos para imágenes creadas con IA que tengan intervención humana significativa, y en Japón, simples resúmenes de películas generan multas millonarias por violación de derechos.Las fronteras digitales plantean dilemas sin precedentes: ¿Dónde termina la distribución y comienza una obra derivada? ¿Qué significa poseer una historia cuando cualquier aspecto puede ser digitalizado? ¿A quién pertenece tu imagen cuando una máquina puede replicarla en segundos? Cada caso revela tensiones fundamentales sobre el control del relato dentro y fuera de pantalla.¿Crees que estos casos han cambiado tu percepción sobre lo que ves en pantalla? Comparte tus reflexiones y descubre más episodios donde desciframos los enigmas legales que dan forma al futuro creativo.

Da Nigeria løsrev sig fra Storbritannien i 1960, blev landets første film produceret på celluloid, siden er landets filmproduktion eksploderet - og Nollywood - som Nigeria også kærligt kaldes i filmkredse er en vigtig spiller i den afrikanske filmindustri, og faktisk verdens andenstørste filmproducent målt på antallet af film. Vi ser på hvilken rolle film spiller i Nigeria med lektor ved Center for Afrikastudier på KU Karen Lauterbach. Vært: Morten Runge. Producer: Louise Reumert. Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen.

La Nollywood Week, festival de cinéma consacré aux films nigérians, se poursuit à Paris jusqu'à sa journée de clôture, ce dimanche 11 mai. L'industrie prolifique du cinéma au Nigeria donne lieu à plusieurs festivals à travers le monde, et le public de ce cinéma populaire ne cesse de croître. La production nigériane compte de nombreuses femmes parmi ses productrices et réalisatrices, et ce n'est pas un hasard si la réalisatrice et actrice Aïssa Maïga a été choisie comme marraine de cette édition. Elle place en effet au cœur de ses engagements la condition des femmes ainsi que la lutte contre la corruption. Un signal fort, que la Nollywood Week met en avant pour cette édition.   « Le travail de la police, ce n'est pas ça. Mais il y a de la mauvaise graine dans toutes les professions », répond un chef policier à son subordonné dans La nuit du 7 juin, un film du réalisateur Toka McBaror qui aborde la corruption au sein de la police nigériane, en s'inspirant d'une histoire vraie. Au cœur de la programmation : retour au matriarcatOutre la corruption, la révolte contre le pouvoir masculin et les traditions, ainsi que le retour au matriarcat, sont au cœur de la programmation de cette nouvelle édition de la Nollywood Week à Paris. On y trouve des rôles particulièrement intéressants pour les femmes, ainsi qu'une parité totale entre réalisateurs et réalisatrices.Bikiya Graham Douglas, productrice et actrice principale du film Pour Amina, explique : « "Pour Amina" parle de responsabilité. On y voit une mère lutter contre un système corrompu pour permettre à sa fille d'accéder à une éducation digne de ce nom. C'est une femme presque illettrée, sans pouvoir, mais qui utilise les médias pour interpeller le gouvernement. Ce récit montre comment responsabiliser les autorités afin de construire une société meilleure. Tout cela à travers la relation mère-fille, avec pour objectif que cette enfant reçoive une bonne éducation ».À lire aussiLe cinéma africain en fête avec la Nollywood Week 2025La Nollywood Week aborde également des sujets plus complexes, comme dans le film Out in the Darkness, réalisé et scénarisé par Sara Kwaji : « Au Nigeria, comme ailleurs dans le monde, la santé mentale des femmes, en particulier la dépression post-partum, est souvent négligée et incomprise. J'ai donc voulu mettre ce sujet en lumière pour combler un vide narratif qui nécessite urgemment davantage de sensibilité et de compassion ».Avec la nouvelle génération, le cinéma de Nollywood connaît de profondes transformations, comme l'explique Thierno Ibrahima Dia, critique de cinéma : « Ce cinéma, autrefois dominé par les genres fantastique et horrifique, tend aujourd'hui à proposer une analyse plus fine de la société nigériane. Le Nigeria est désormais la première économie du continent, devant l'Afrique du Sud, et le cinéma interroge les rapports sociaux dans ce contexte. Nollywood revient ainsi vers un ancrage plus réaliste, loin des stéréotypes de ses débuts ».Industrie encore jeune, née dans les années 2000, Nollywood est aujourd'hui touchée par la crise économique qui frappe le Nigeria.Retrouvez toute la programmation de la Nollywood Week ici. 

Summary: E Káàró, friends! Today, Holly and Devin armchair travel to Nigeria. Known for its vibrant culture, diversity, rich artistic heritage and a thriving film industry (Nollywood), this country has so much to explore. With both books set in the bustling city of Lagos, our hosts get to explore the romantic and thrilling aspects of this amazing country.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:00): Devin discussed The Sweetest Remedy by Jane Igharo, a novel following Hannah Bailey, successful biracial business woman living in San Francisco, who is invited to her estranged father's funeral - in Lagos, Nigeria. After a brief relationship with her white mother, she never had a connection to her father or his prestigious family, but this opportunity is too good to pass up. Uncovering half siblings, secrets, culture and even a man she never expected, Hannah must come to a new understanding of who she is and where she fits in the world. Devin's key takeaways were: Hannah's experience reflects that of many diaspora children, caught between cultures, feeling not quite “enough” of either. Her journey is tender, frustrating, funny, and deeply affirming and she works to expand her sense of self and identify where she belongs amongst her expanded family.  While you get a great sense of Lagos through the book, the setting of a Nigerian funeral, especially for someone as prominent as Hannah's father, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story. They're multi-day affairs that are part mourning, part celebration, part family reunion, part “airing of grievances.” Through this event, the book explores Nigerian culture, familial expectations, inheritance (emotional and literal), and reconciliation. The romance is beautifully folded into Hannah's emotional journey. It's not just “hot guy in Nigeria,” Lawrence is a patient and supportive friend first who guides Hannah and helps her navigate the rough waters of her expanding identity. It's romantic, yes, but also rooted in identity and growth. The Dagger (13:50): Holly discussed Gaslight by Femi Kayode, a crime fiction story following Jeremiah Dawodu, the influential leader of a prominent megachurch in Lagos. He's publicly arrested in the middle of a service for the suspected murder of his wife. Despite his skepticism toward organized religion, Philip Taiwo, an investigative psychologist who recently returned to Nigeria from the US, is reluctantly drawn into the case by his sister. Confronting a web of secrets, resistance from the church, and the complexities of Nigerian society, Philip must cut through the noise to uncover the truth. Holly's key takeaways were: The novel examines how religious institutions wield influence and the potential for corruption within such structures.​ The pursuit of truth in a society and institution rife with secrecy and manipulation underscores the narrative, questioning the nature of justice and the power of religion and religious leaders.​ Through the lens of a psychological crime thriller, the novel illuminates both the beauty and contradictions of Nigerian society; it critiques power structures while celebrating resilience, explores how people navigate moral gray zones, and invites readers to see Nigeria in all its complexity: vibrant, chaotic, spiritual, flawed, and deeply human. Taiwo's family's experiences reflect the complexities of cultural identity and the challenges of reintegration after living abroad.​ The personal struggles within Taiwo's family parallel the broader societal issues, emphasizing the interplay between personal and communal conflicts.​ Hot On the Shelf (27:12): Devin: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske Holly: The Devils by Joe Abercrombie What's Making Our Hearts Race (31:39): Devin: The Americas Documentary with Tom Hanks Holly: Your Friends and Neighbors on AppleTV Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Is Babangida a Bad Man?I spoke with one of Nollywood's most critically acclaimed producers—known for hits like Mirror Boy, Last Flight to Abuja, and Badamasi—about Nigerian's former head of state Ibrahim Babangida, and he insists Babangida is a good man.Born in 1985 when IBB took over office, I've long held a grudge against Babangida, the man who annulled Nigeria's most peaceful election, “democratized corruption” and ordered the killing of his best friend. And why own up to his biggest mistakes now? Emelonye says it is his film that forced IBB into reflection and led directly to his apologies and confessions in his new book. From the lips of one of Nollywood's most decorated and fearless directors, I heard stories of friendship, love, and business.We also talk about how he convinced Genevieve to do Mirror Boy movie after Omotola said no, and how Omotola said yes to Last Flight to Abuja the year after.This is one of the very best conversations I have ever had! Watch or listen to the full episode at WithChude.com.Tell me what you think in the comments below. ❤Watch all new and old fill epsidoes here: www.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.comDonate to the work here: partner.withchude.comPlease subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Exclusive Patron-only Content Hosted on Acast.
