MUNYA CHAWAWA: TRUMP IS FALLING OUT OF A DICTATOR'S HANDBOOK

À propos de cet épisode

<p>The news can be pretty overwhelming at times and the politics of it all can be confusing too but there are people who make it understandable and possible to engage with; Munya Chawawa’s satire is smart, it’s funny and it gets people talking. He, himself is smart and funny and I was keen to get him talking - he’s a guest I’ve been eager to speak to for a while so was delighted when he came into the studio to chat!</p><br><p>At the start of his career, Munya was told he needed 30K followers be taken seriously, so he made it his mission to do that, putting out video after video, and accrued millions of followers along the way. He never set out to become a social media sensation but its influence on his career is notable, leaving him with a sense of imposter syndrome in spaces he absolutely belongs. Growing up in Zimbabwe, Munya’s drive to do well is something that came into conflict on arriving in the UK where he was branded a ‘boffin’ for wanting to achieve. Munya also opens up about the men who shaped him and his determination to break the emotional stoicism passed down from his father.</p><br><p>This conversation is a good example of how humour can help us tackle difficult topics and open our minds.</p><br><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!</p><br><p>You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast or email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><br><p>And if you like Munya and want more of him, you can find him on @munyachawawa on IG and TT, and his show, 'How To Survive A Dictator' is here: www.channel4.com/programmes/how-to-survive-a-dictator</p><p>--</p><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Assistant Producer: Gurlina Heer</p><p>Video: Jake Ji</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><br><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
