Your Aunties Could Never

Your favourite Aunties, Ak, Farrah and Nana are back with another packed episode, joined by comedian and presenter Dane Baptiste.
AUNTYVENTION
🫂 This week’s Auntyvention is from a 47 year old woman who’s been through a lot, raised her kids, built her life, but is still dealing with a difficult relationship with her mum that’s affecting her peace, her parenting and her relationships. She’s asking, how do you move forward without losing yourself?
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
💐 Konan for launching The Konan Awards at Camberwell College of Arts, supporting final year students with funding for their degree shows.
💐 Afrori Books, the Brighton based Black owned bookshop founded by Carolynn Bain, for rallying community support and selling over 1,500 books to keep the shop open.
💐 Joseph Nguthiru for turning water hyacinth into biodegradable packaging through his company HyaPak, tackling environmental damage and creating sustainable alternatives.

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS
🚩 Klay Thompson’s internet defenders for the reaction to Megan Thee Stallion post breakup, from Stephen A Smith to podcast takes and online commentary… loud, disrespectful and very telling.
🚩 Charlie Sloth and DJ AG, one for the “pastor” visuals that didn’t land and the other for defending it with the usual “he’s done a lot for the culture” line.
🚩 The US Supreme Court judges Samuel Alito, John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas for gutting key parts of the Voting Rights Act and undoing decades of civil rights protections, with Clarence Thomas, a Black judge, included in that decision.
This is the honest conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.

Pioneer of AfroDancehall Stonebwoy joins your favourite aunties AK, Farrah and Nana for a conversation that goes beyond the music. From Ghana to the world, he unpacks the meaning behind BHIM, the weight of headlining the OVO Arena Wembley, and how grief, discipline, and identity have shaped both the man and the artist.
We get into Afrodancehall, global sound, and building a career that travels without losing its roots, alongside honest reflections on fatherhood, marriage, and balance. And of course, the aunties take him there… from enemies of progress to what is actually in his bag.

One night out. Four lives destroyed. And the men just filmed it.
This week the aunties are getting into the fight outside Inca in the West End that left one woman brain dead and a bystander with life altering injuries and we're saying what the internet isn't.
We also get into the 62 million men visiting a site teaching them how to drug their wives, why young women are being sold on "pay-pigs" as a career, and why a three hour a weekend mum and a "men who spend time with their kids go soft" dad are both wrong.
⚡What actually happened outside Inca beyond what went viral
⚡ Why we're too old to be fighting in West End clubs at 30+
⚡ Pay pigs, OnlyFans & the selling of Black women's dignity
⚡ Kemi Badenoch, Sharon Osborne & the white-privilege gaslight
⚡ Akon vs Emma Grede: three hours with four kids & "men go soft"
⚡ Why showing up for your kids matters - A real story

Black women are navigating grief, culture, and political hypocrisy in a way no one is talking about. In this episode, we give AK an AuntyVention "would you travel abroad to bury your parent if you barely knew their family?" and what the recent "cancellation culture" really means for our community.
From the Kanye West Wireless ban to the "collective foolishness" of recent celebrity scandals, this is the honest conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.
In this episode:
Navigating Grief & Tradition: Deciding whether to travel to Ghana for a father's burial despite family tension.
The Wireless Festival Fallout: Why the cancellation of a major black music staple is a setup for failure.
Celebrity "Foolishness": Breaking down the Offset gambling rumors and the Burna Boy vs. Wizkid petty drama.
The Problem with Reform UK: Why the latest political rhetoric around reparations is a direct threat.

Who's in the wrong? The man who got mad that he spent his money on flying a woman out for sex because she changed her mind, or the woman for allowing him to spend on her flight, her food, her accommodation and then refusing to sleep with him!?
