Premiered on 6 Apr 2026 Kisses From Kenya

EPISODE 10: Home Away from Home

They're back. After a longer-than-planned break, Vuyanzi and Brendan return to find the news cycle hasn't waited for anyone - and neither has the question of what "home" actually means anymore. 2026 opens with a lot to catch up on and one big question at the centre of it all.

In this episode:

• Whose America Is It Anyway? - a full rundown of what you missed: ICE, Kendrick at the Grammys, nuclear treaties, the Guthrie disappearance, and more
• Lost in Translation - the unspoken rules of flying home: middle seats, plane drinks, and the etiquette nobody writes down
• Deep Dive - what happens when you go back and home doesn't feel the same? Disconnection, cold weather, the news, and the shifting definition of where you belong
• Queer & Black Joy - an all-Black crew on Kenya Airways, and why that moment deserves its own segment
