​I’m thrilled to have Akasha back for a second interview! Our first conversation was fascinating, but the sound quality didn’t do it justice.

 

So, I invited him to join me again, and while I asked the same questions, we had a new and enriching conversation.

​

​This week’s conversation took an unexpected turn, leading to a heartfelt and intimate conversation with Charmaine about love

and loss.

 

Together, we opened up about our personal journeys through grief, sharing the profound experience of losing a spouse. It was

a deeply moving dialogue that resonated far beyond our usual discussions, and left us both reflecting on the power of connection and healing.​

Podcast interview

​

Today, May 25, 2024, is a milestone birthday. As part of my birthday celebrations, I am publishing a special edition of Heart of the Matter podcast.

​

We looked through the archives and found one surviving interview from the original Heart of the Matter which began life as a radio program.

​

The late Ron Lightbourne, the original host interviews me, Aderonke Bademosi Wilson and the audio engineer, Abimbola Bademosi. I had the privilege of interviewing Ron.

​

Different music. Different questions. Same DNA.
