Finish this sentence: "In Kenya, you know the system is working when ______." In this episode we do a deep-dive dissecting how Kenya works, the unwritten rules, the real incentives, and what we can actually do to change the game. You know your MCA's real job description? #Omenerds #Podcast

Your phone is the biggest scammer of 2025. 🎧 Betting apps sell you dreams. Loan apps sell you debt. Together, they've turned being broke into a business model. The heist isn't coming. It's already happening in your pocket. Discover how your phone became the scene of the perfect crime, and why December is their most profitable season.

In this episode, we confirm that Big Brother is not just watching, he's screen-recording. 📸 We're breaking down how your phone became a government informant and why "cybercrime" is the new word for "criticism." Privacy and freedom are so last season. Listen while you still can. #Omenerds

What happened to honour amongst thieves? We don't even have that anymore; we're so morally bankrupt. Corruption is the monster under our beds, except it also stole the bed, the room, and the title deed. I'm laughing through the despair because if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

Do you even trust the news anymore? In this episode, we do a deep dive on how traditional media, also known as legacy media, lost trust of the public and how the internet is the great equaliser in getting the news out.

The world's on fire (again), and somehow we're still expected to clock in, shut up, and maybe fight? Let's unpack the mess — from empire games and exported soldiers to why Gen Z would sooner meme than march. War is ridiculous. So is this episode.

From toxic jobs to broken systems, we've mastered the art of coping with nonsense — and then calling it a blessing.  In this episode, we unpack Kenya's favourite survival mantra: "At least…" Is it resilience, denial, or both? Tune in. Laugh. Unlearn. #Omenerds

Why think critically when you can just cheer loudly? In this episode, we take a satirical stroll through the rise of idiocracy and its favourite sidekick — sycophancy. From performative praise to the decline of media literacy, we explore how clapping louder has replaced thinking deeper. Set against the very Kenyan backdrop of blind loyalty and borrowed opinions, we ask: is it really that hard to think? #omenerds

Between ghosted plans, low social batteries, and friends who live hours away but feel like they moved to another continent, keeping your circle tight these days feels like trying to renew your passport huko Nyayo — slow, painful, and somehow still confusing. Let's break it down. #omenerds

At what point did "community" become "every man for himself?" In this episode, we're delving into the rise of hyper-individualism—how we went from looking out for each other to treating basic human decency like an optional subscription. Is it just capitalism doing what capitalism does, or have we all low-key decided that empathy is too expensive? Are we all just too tired to care? Let's get into it.

Podcasting used to be a sacred art—reserved for nerds with too much time and true crime girlies solving cold cases from their couches. But now? Now, every guy with WiFi and a grudge thinks the world needs his "thoughts".  In this episode, we investigate the epidemic of unnecessary podcasts. Who's making them? Why won't they stop? And most importantly—why do they all think we need *their* advice on success when they're recording from their mom's living room?  Tune in before you, too, start a podcast no one asked for.

Guess who's back? It's me, Laureezy f Baby (the f is for finally doing this again), and Omenerds has officially made a chaotic comeback! In this episode, I'm diving headfirst into the all-too-relatable mess that is impostor syndrome. You know, that nagging voice that makes you feel like a fraud even when you're clearly killing it? Yeah, we're calling it out and dragging it through the mud. I'll share some questionable wisdom, a few stories that are as unhinged as they are funny, and remind you that no one really knows what they're doing out here. Let's overthink, laugh, and fake it 'til we make it—together. If you're ready to shake off the doubt and embrace the chaos, hit play.

Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast. It's been a minute. Actually, it's been like 2 minutes. All will be explained in due time, but for now, let's just act like nothing happened :) This episode is a prelude to the new season. A side-episode if you must. Our host Thuita had a chance to sit down with O.N.D.U. Street Lawyer from the Back-2-Basics Podcast, and reminisce about artists and bands that are missing from the Kenyan music scene. Hope you enjoy. This project is funded by Goethe-Institut, the GIZ and Jenga CCI. Special Appreciation to the Africa Digital Media Institute.

Happy New Year, never mind that we are four months into 2019. On this episode of the Omenerds Podcast, we talk about how far into the year we should stop wishing each other a Happy New Year. New Year's resolutions are a thing we forget about this far into the year, and we chat about our resolutions and what we think about the whole idea of marking a new year by making promises to ourselves. Jimmy gives a history lesson as well, delving deep into the lost traditions of manly pleasures with a new conspiracy theory.
