Konnichiwa Recorded live at AfPIF 2026 in Kigali. Frank Habicht was our first guest of the week, and his story is not what you'd expect from a man who runs Tanzania's internet exchange. He grew up in East Germany, went to Tanzania in 1998 for a student conference, met his wife because she complained about his handwriting, and never really left. Twenty years later he's still there, and he's spent most of them building the infrastructure the rest of us take for granted. We get into: – Why they call him the vulture – Climbing Kilimanjaro at 25 and struggling more on the way down – Africa Online, dial-up, and running a country's internet off satellite – The years when Dar and Nairobi could only talk to each other via Norway – Five years drilling for gold, and why leaving the ISP world made him more useful – Choosing the tallest building in Dar so no competitor had the advantage – The day VPNs got shut off across an entire country – Beijing on the night of the Olympics opening ceremony, and an empty plane out – What changed when the subsea cable finally landed in 2009 – Celebrating one megabit, then one gigabit – Why one cache now carries half the exchange's traffic, and why that worries him – IPv4 running out, carrier-grade NAT, and what it costs users – Why 240 ISPs competing is great for you and brutal for them – Why exchange work is ninety percent social and ten percent technical Huge thanks to AfPIF and the African IXP Association for hosting us and setting up the guests.

Konnichiwa Fam, Fareed Khimani is back, and this one goes from a sin tax nobody can explain to a conversation about identity that I wasn't ready for. He's working inside government now doing comms for the Ministry of Agriculture, he's rebranding Kenyan tea, and he leaves for Karachi this month to direct a documentary on brain health.

We talk about: – Why there's now a sin tax on glass and timber, and nobody can explain the logic – Sixty five percent on imported timber and what that does to affordable housing – The tea levy, and why farmers were told they're the ones paying it – Reaching 386,000 tea farmers by SMS instead of posting infographics on Instagram – Being critical of government while working for it – The Nyeri road and giving credit where infrastructure has actually improved – Selling his car at 32 to go to film school in Brighton – Shooting on real film and why nothing gets made that way anymore – Fifteen elephants poisoned, and the farmer's side of that story – The Karachi documentary on suicide, addiction and dementia through lived experience – Directing the KCB comedy ads and how agency work actually gets won – Why corporate sponsorship would mean toning this podcast down – Solitude versus loneliness, and what he's cutting out of his life – GTA 6 dropping its trailer on Netflix and where gaming is heading – Why he walked away from radio, and the question he put to me about identity Hope you enjoy the episode.

One flag: this episode carries more risk than usual. He calls the sitting president a criminal and names people in unresolved cases. The disclaimer covers you broadly, but the description I've written sticks to his positions without repeating the direct accusations, which is the safer play. Drop his socials into his block, he said to link all his details.

Konnichiwa Fam, On E114, I sit down with Coffee Pump Regular, Fareed Khimani. Fareed is an Ad director, former radio man, and addiction counselor at Full Circle, who is also a recovering addict with 23 years of active addiction behind him. We start light with his ad work and the creative process, then the conversation goes somewhere we've never taken the show before: his first line of cocaine in an Atlanta bar, smoking crack, ayahuasca showing him what he needed to see, and what he's learned helping addicts in Nairobi today. We talk about: – Fareed's recent ad projects and how directing commercials actually works – The Westgate attack and mall security in Kenya – The team's mushroom trip, ayahuasca and DMT – His first time trying cocaine and 23 years of active addiction – Why cocaine hooks people faster than almost anything else – LSD, molly and the comedowns nobody talks about – Weed culture in Kenya vs abroad – Meth, crack vs cocaine, heroin and the Golden Triangle – Pakistan's opium crisis and addiction cycles starting in infancy – Physical vs emotional addiction and jails, institutions or death – When to help an addict, when to step back, and why they have to be ready This is a heavy one in places, but an important one. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, reach out for help. Hope you enjoy the episode. Best, Team Coffee Pump Our Coffee and Tea Is Launching Soon!!

Konnichiwa Fam, On E112, I sit down with Matthew Frietze, a 32nd-degree Freemason, actor and oracle based in New Mexico, for one of the most fascinating conversations we have had on the show. I came across Matthew on Instagram, fell down the rabbit hole, and reached out. What followed is a wide-ranging talk about what Freemasonry actually is versus the Illuminati myth people attach to it, how he joined, and what the lodges and degrees really involve. He also opens up about his work as an oracle, the pineal gland, the Matrix, and where he believes the world is heading. It is a conversation that will stretch how you see a few things. We talk about: - How Matthew discovered Freemasonry through his father - What Freemasonry actually is, and why the Illuminati myth stuck - His Mexican and German heritage and a family curandera - His work as an oracle and how he reads energy - Remote viewing and where the intuition comes from - His take on religion, God and organised faith - The pineal gland and reconnecting to a childhood mind - The Matrix, the systems that keep people asleep, and breaking out - How you actually join a lodge and rise through the degrees - What the 32nd and 33rd degrees really mean - Turning down the Marines to chase acting and the spiritual path - His views on the 5D shift and recent UFO disclosure Hope you enjoy the episode.
