The first episodes
are on their way.

A podcast where every conversation is also a piece of literature.

Not interviews for the algorithm. Slow, honest conversations about healing, culture, and identity — recorded as audio you can sit with, and rewritten as essays you can read. Hosted by Tshego Khatri, in conversation with the people whose stories live here.

Listen

Long-form audio, made to be heard without rushing.

Read

Every episode becomes a literary essay — no recording left as noise.

Reflect

Each one closes with a prompt, and a place to leave your mirror.
