About Culture&Curves

Culture & Curves is our generation’s cultural archive, a space where Africans and the diaspora come together to reflect, unlearn, question, and document the realities we’re living today. We uncover erased and forgotten histories, explore African identity, and preserve the stories, struggles, and transformations that shape who we are and who we’re becoming. Expect deep dives, bold perspectives, and the kind of cultural conversations that make you laugh, reflect, and rethink what you thought you knew about being African today. Topics we explore: African culture & identity Diaspora experiences

ISINTU: What Does It Mean To Be Ndebele Today?

Siseyibo Yini AmaNdebele Lamuhla? In this deeply reflective episode, I sit down with Ubaba Ubhalule from iSintu saMahlabezulu for an honest conversation about identity, culture, language, masculinity, tradition, and what it truly means to be Ndebele in today’s world. This is more than a conversation about culture. It is a conversation about who we are becoming. Together, we explore:- The meaning of Isintu- The role of language in preserving identity- The Ndebele experience in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the diaspora- Cultural leadership and preservation- The uncomfortable truths around modern identity- Whether we are still truly living Isintu today This episode is reflective, honest, and rooted in dialogue across generations. “Isintu isn’t something we talk about… It’s something we live.”

God, Church & The Questions We Don’t Ask | Pastor Derick Maphosa

In this episode of Culture & Curves, we sit down with Pastor Derick Maphosa for an honest conversation about faith, the church, and the questions many people are afraid to ask.

This episode delves into challenging yet necessary conversations about belief, doubt, tradition, and the future of the church. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, questioned the church, or tried to reconcile spirituality with modern life, this conversation is for you. 🎙 Topics we discuss: • Believing in God vs. believing in the church • Why are many young people leaving the church • Faith, doubt, and honest questions • The role of culture in Christianity • Navigating spirituality in the modern world 🎵 Listen to Pastor Derick Maphosa’s Music: https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCcjxi1V3UyWfa5tsK1a20wA?si=2oKr8arLVWn-T1rX ⛪ CDPM Community ChurchAddress: 31a Girton St, Salford M7 1UR

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
