Unfiltered With Jaluo

In May, a few days to the swearing in Ceremony to mark, President Museveni's sixth term, I had a conversation with Lawyer Nicholas Opiyo. He is known widely for his work with Chapter Four Uganda.  Many Ugandans will attest to Nicholas Opiyo coming through for them when they were arrested on tramped up charges.  In this Episode of Beyond the Byte, he talks Domestic Philanthropy and Every Ugandan doing their part in seeing they deliver the country they all envision. 

The 6th Term starts in the middle of a pandemic and the challenges therein are without number and the government will have to bend itself backwards to deliver basic services to the masses.  In this episode, we review the 5th term, where did the  National Resistance Movement Government excel. Where did they drop the ball?  History Don Ndebesa Answers these questions and more. 

In this new segment of the podcast, I give context to those short sound bytes we broadcast in the news bulletins.  Here we give you the unredacted versions of the interview, hence the title Beyond the Byte.  In Episode 1, History Don at Makerere University, Mwambutsya Ndebesa gives insight into Uganda's political future, the use of the military to settle policy-related matters and the contentious land issue that rears its head every so often. 

So, I tested Positive for Covid back in June and the I tried to chronicle bits of my recovery journey.

Jaluo talks about safe spaces.  He scratches the surface on what a safe space for men to thrive in looks like. 

Unfiltered with Jaluo is here.  We are two individuals going through life and giving our opinions as we go along.  In what we will now call our  first episode we reflect on the past year and what we learnt in a year of a pandemic, lockdown and job loss. 

When the NBS Investigative Piece on Sexual Harassment came out, it made all of us pause.  Did we have an understanding of how endemic sexual harassment is? This feature attempts to give you an understanding of sexual harassment and what an uphill climb it is for women to get justice. 

Does anyone remember the shock we were dealt when Dr. Stella Nyanzi stripped for her to be heard? This feature answers the question of the use of nudity as a form of protest. 

This feature is special to me. After giving birth to my beautiful baby girl, I was under immense external and personal pressure to return to my pre-pregnancy body.  I kid you not, I suffered trying to figure it out. Until I was introduced to a team of doctors and nutritionists and fitness coaches who made my life such a breeze.  Also, I notice I say tying the stomach, the right word is binding of the stomach.  Also, this aired first on SANYU FM in 2019.  Enjoy and give us feedback on how to make content better for you the listener. We will also be launching two new series on this channel.  Unfiltered with Jaluo and Beyond the Bytes series.
