Tongwa stops by to say hello

Author: Nosa Iyare August 6, 2023 Duration: 1:12:19
Former Culture Class Co-host and recurring guest-host Tongwa stops by to chop it up with Nosa. Tongwa & Nosa launched Culture Class Podcast in the studios of American University's School of Communication in 2018.

Hosted by Nosa Iyare, the Culture Class Podcast is an ongoing conversation about the world we share and the many ways we move through it. This isn't a lecture hall; it's a space where curiosity leads the discussion, exploring the nuances of society, tradition, and modern life through genuine dialogue. Each episode brings a new perspective to the table, acknowledging that every person's experience is a lesson waiting to be heard. The premise is beautifully simple: we all have something to learn from one another, and in this class, everyone is both a teacher and a student of life. You'll hear from a wide range of voices and guests, each sharing their unique stories and insights, which naturally fuel a deeper understanding of the cultural forces that shape us. Listening to this podcast feels like sitting in on a compelling, often surprising discussion where the only assignment is to listen and reflect. It’s a direct engagement with the ideas that define our communities, challenging assumptions and celebrating shared humanity. The views expressed by guests are their own, fostering an authentic platform for open exchange. For those eager to dive into the rich tapestry of human experience, the Culture Class Podcast offers a thoughtful and necessary soundtrack.
