Two Peas In A Pod
A Kenyan podcast where two female content creators have candid conversations about relationships, friendships, and navigating life as young women.
A weekly talk show hosted by two friends, Martina and Ajib, that explores the complexities of modern life and relationships from the perspective of young Kenyan women. Episodes alternate between intimate two-hander conversations—dissecting their own friendship dynamics or personal anxieties—and interviews with fellow content creators and personalities about topics like gender roles, parenting, and building a career.
“The show's strength is the authentic, often vulnerable, chemistry between the two hosts, who aren't afraid to confront each other's flaws or share their own anxieties. Its specific focus on the Nairobi social and creative scene gives it a distinct local flavor that sets it apart from more generic relationship podcasts.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The show is a hybrid of co-host chats and guest interviews. When a guest is on, Martina and Ajib act as a team, maintaining a relaxed, humorous atmosphere where they also share their own opinions. They often use recent pop culture events to introduce a topic before asking the guest to weigh in. They are not afraid to ask direct, personal follow-up questions to push beyond theoretical answers and get a guest's genuine stance.
The format is a relaxed, conversational chatcast, often recorded with video. Some episodes are just the two hosts, while others feature a guest, turning the dynamic into a three-way discussion. The hosts use personal anecdotes, celebrity news, and Instagram question boxes as jumping-off points for broader conversations.
