Fahm, lets gather here for praise and worship plix. This episode very nearly didnât happen oh. First of all, a pox on the internet service providers that threw all manner of spanners in the works. I completely lost Wanaâs audio file because Smile were not smiling down on us that day ra-ra. I had to go through some weird hazing process to recover what I could. This unfortunately not only compromised Wanaâs audio but also meant that of our nearly 3hr conversation that I was looking forward to only sharing some all the jewsziezt bits (and hoard the rest to myself, mwahahahahaha) we were left with lessđđžthanđđžanđđžhour of raw âuseableâ file, which after edit was....mahnnnn, as you are still here reading this, biko help me just branch by https://twitter.com/iAmTheFayFay/ (FayFay) of https://www.iamthefayfay.com/808xtra/ (808Xtra) abeg. She was under the weather and still managed to perform miracles on this one. She practically took razor blade, needle and irun-kiko thread to this and made patchwork quilt from the shreds I gave her. I hail đđžââď¸
