Faking Adulthood

Welcome back to Faking Adulthood, the podcast where we try (and often fail) to be proper adults. 🎙️

This week Rita Balogun is joined by broadcaster and cultural tastemaker Julie Adenuga for one of the funniest and most chaotic episodes yet.

From debating Valentine’s Day weddings to ranking our favourite Black British music anthems, this episode is basically two best friends chatting nonsense, arguing, laughing and pretending we know how to navigate adulthood.

In this episode we talk about:
• Weddings on Valentine’s Day (14th February) – romantic or a terrible idea?
• Our top Black British anthems and cultural moments
• Friendship debates and random adulting struggles
• Why Julie might secretly enjoy coming back to the podcast

If you enjoy funny podcasts, Black British culture, friendship conversations and relatable adulting chaos, you’re in the right place.

Faking Adulthood is the home of the fake adults – honest conversations about life, culture, relationships and growing up (badly).

Welcome back to Faking Adulthood!

Rita B is joined by Uche Natori and Kandie Jo as we celebrate 100 episodes of the podcast. What started as faking adulthood has somehow turned into triple digits — and we are still very much unqualified.

This episode has absolutely no structure. We cover everything from whether we’ll be celibate in heaven (??), twins being childish, random adulting struggles, and chaotic friendship debates.

It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s very on-brand.

Thank you for supporting Faking Adulthood for 100 episodes. We genuinely appreciate every listener who’s been here for the journey.

Welcome to another episode of Faking Adulthood, home of the fake adults!

I’m your host Rita Balogun & today my co-host is Dénola Grey!

We have chaotic conversation about therapy, adulting, sleeper agent theories and the random thoughts that distract us from being productive adults.

It’s honest. It’s unserious. It’s self-aware.

If you’ve ever thought, “Am I actually an adult or just pretending?” — you’re home.

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Faking Adulthood, home of the fake adults! Today my co-host is Gold Alex.

In this episode, we talk about everything and nothing — from Black men’s mental health, to why new drivers shouldn’t be allowed on the same roads as real drivers, and the chaos of Valentine’s Day. We had a great time yapping and hope you enjoy it too.

Heads up: we had some audio issues and Gold’s mic was low. If you hear a hissing sound, it’s because we increased the volume. Thank you for your patience ❤️

Hey guys, welcome back to Faking Adulthood — home of the fake adults 🎧

This week I’m joined by actor Malachi Kirby — an old friend and all-round legend. You might know him as Hezekiah in A Thousand Blows, now streaming on Disney+, but with me he’s my friend Malachi.

We talk birthdays, friendship, talking to animals (don’t ask, just listen), and what it was really like working on A Thousand Blows. Malachi shares insight into the role, the series, and why it’s one you should absolutely have on your watch list.

It’s funny, honest, and very fake-adult energy. Hope you enjoy!
