Your favourite Aunties, Ak, Farrah and Nana are back with another packed episode and this week we are joined by Nii Odartei Evans and Marvyn Harrison.

AUNTYVENTION

🫂 Richard E Grant ended a 29 year friendship after discovering a toxic email about him, saying once trust is broken there is no return. Meanwhile, writer Stephanie Takyi has admitted she cut off close friends out of insecurity and later regretted it. The Aunties ask, when is cutting someone off self respect and when is it pride?

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS

🚩 Ghana for giving MrBeast a chieftaincy title after he reportedly spent over one million dollars rebuilding a school and pledging meals until 2030, sparking debate about philanthropy, sovereignty and symbolism.

🚩José Mourinho for criticising Vinícius Júnior’s celebration instead of backing his allegations that Gianluca Prestianni racially abused him during Benfica’s Champions League tie against Real Madrid.

🚩 Nick Yepremian, owner and pitmaster of Destination Smokehouse, for allegedly firing Walter Johnson, aka Mr Tendernism, and trademarking the “Tendernism” name, forcing Walter to start his own venture under a different name.

🚩 The criticism surrounding Dr Shola Mos Shogbamimu & London Hughes after the BAFTA N word and Tourette’s fallout, with Dr Shola accusing John Davidson of racism despite his Tourette’s, and London Hughes suggesting Black Brits do not stand up to racism the way Black Americans do.

Make sure you tune in. Expect real talk with receipts, flowers where due and messy dilemmas with no nonsense solutions.
