Tea with Tay
Tea with Yay hosted by Taymesan Emmanuel shows us the importance of consistency and Taymesan’s story is an important one. He started off by making us laugh on Instagram with his “Hello Instagrammers” quips and just before we could respond to his greetings, he left with his red mug, found a couch, and started inviting personalities you wanted to see answer questions on his couch for his podcast. From Falz, to Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, to Davido and his grandma, whom he says is his hero, Tay with his mug gives us insider information about their lives. Sometimes it can be inspiring, other times hilarious, but overall, it’s entertaining.

Menism
You might think that this podcast only talks about the things that are everyday quarrels on Twitter like patriarchy and feminism.
