Conversations with Tiwi Ogunye

Listen to me go on a little one hour discovery in the form of a conversation with myself about spirituality, philosophy and societal structures.Thank you for being here :)I have so much love for you all.

The podcast is back!!This episode is a little narration of how the last two months have been for me.It has definitely been an experience. Thanks for stopping by.

Unpopular opinions? Hot takes? Whatever you may call them... I talk about some of mine and then I just rant as I always do. That's the beauty of this podcast.Recently I've been doing this thing where whenever I am at a store and interacting with staff or if I am getting on a bus and interacting with the driver, my brain is like "Saying thank you is too boring. We've been doing it for 21 years". So I have just been going "Merci". I have no idea why this is happening. I am not French. Do I just write random mini stories in these episode descriptions rather than actually describing the episode?? Btw I'm obsessed with Jaden. Why is his music so good?? The visuals are so dope too. His energy is insane. Jaden please go on tour.

Fully unedited episode of me talking about Kid Cudi and purpose. This was an unplanned episode. I just wanted to get my thoughts out on this so this is as raw and unfiltered as it can get.Thank you. Thank you for listening. 

So much is happening on the internet right now. The Lil Tay situation is one of them and I just had to talk about it. In discussing this, I was able to get into how weird the internet can be and how damaging it can be to a lot of people. I hope you enjoy this one.Love,Tiwi.

This week Boris and I talk about whatever for an hour. Very all over the place and fun and entertaining. You already know how it goes if you have ever listened to an episode with us. Enjoy!!

My co-host, Boris who is usually nowhere to be found makes another appearance today. This time he brings on friend of the show, Rassan and we have a nice chat. We get really political at some points in the episode but we somehow manage to still keep things fun and light-hearted. It is a pretty chaotic episode overall which makes so much sense because it involves Boris and I.Thank you for lending an ear. I appreciate every one of you.

True crime is quite popular in modern media. It almost feels like Netflix is actively waiting for the next psycho killer on the loose just so they can keep making documentaries. People are not mad at this either. True crime fans love to dissect the minds of the people who perpetrate these crimes and tend to view them as complex or interesting individuals who are worth studying.I personally like to counteract this. I give you my argument as to why I think these offenders should be given less of a platform. I believe excess amounts of attention can feed this kind of behaviour and that goes against what we really want. Tell me what you think. What side of the argument do you fall on?

This episode mainly consists of me updating you on where I've been mentally since the last time I uploaded. You are probably wondering why I am this late to talk about this topic. The reason for that is I was supposed to about a month ago but I'm here now and that is all that matters. I express my thoughts on the topic. But not really which is so typical of me. I do more of talking around concepts which are related to the topic. Rather than talking about tangible facts in a "reporty" sense. If you hate that you will hate every episode I make. Forever. I somehow end up branching off of the main topic and getting to the conclusion that "the commercialisation of creativity" is the bigger topic here.I also talk about parasocial relationships (for the millionth time) and the artist-fan dynamic. How that can be a transactional relationship.Celebrity culture. Artistry being a service job in our current time. Fan entitlement. It would not be a tiwi episode without the random mini rants and going off on tangents. I do a bit of that at the end. Enjoy!!

Everyone always talks about 2016 with so much joy. I have seen this year be referred to as "the golden year" or "when times were simpler". And I get it. So I decided to make an episode doing a dive into 2016/2017.  I talk about my own perception of that time and how I feel about the things which made that year distinct. From soundcloud rap being at its peak, to internet personalities being even more unhinged.At the end of my "analysis" I land on the sentiment that 2016 was truly a special year but there is still a bit of nostalgia when we think about it. Do you agree or disagree? Love,Tiwi.
