The Mics Are Open
Hosted by The Mics Are Open · EN
A slightly skewed look at life through the lens of a group of radio presenters in Nairobi, Kenya. Every week G Money, Calvin, Neville, Ashley and Andy Young chop it up on topics that they probably have no expertise in, but some how it works! The Mics Are Open is a random journey that meanders through five very different lives. These guys are so good, you might even think that they are friends in real life!

Episode 03 — Ms Rose Showed Love
Apr 2700:04:40Tap to summarize"This is a special series I'm running called The Correction. It lives separately from TMAO but I wanted to bring it here first. Here's Episode 03."Episode 03 — The Correction with G MoneyMs Rose showed love by doing things. I watched that. I learned it. I became it.My grandmother didn't talk about love in the abstract. She showed it — food on the table, shoes on your feet, a roof that didn't move. Ms Rose's love was a verb, not a noun. And she was the most powerful person I have ever known.So I became her. The utility. The constant showing up. The need to be useful to earn my place.But somewhere in this episode I ask a question I can't stop sitting with — is there a difference between showing love through doing, and only feeling worthy when you're doing something?Same behaviour. Very different root.That's Entry 03 of The Correction.The Correction is a podcast about unlearning the habit of leading with utility — and learning to just be present instead. New episodes every Monday and Thursday.
