Dopamine Podcast
Judith Otala
Dopamine is a podcast featuring four girlfriends; Judith Otala, Gloria Nanfuka, Liz Karungi and Linda Mwesigwa, talking about adulting growing pains in Uganda. Why Dopamine? Well…great you ask, a scientist said that dopamine is the Kim Kardashian of hormones. Who wouldn’t want to associate with that?
Parents are people too!
In this episode Liz, Gloria and Judith explore how the relationships with their parents have evolved as they have grown up. Liz doesn't get that black tax thing and why you are bothered. Judith's family once had a meeting about her 😅 and Gloria is ideal child any parent could have 😄(Surely you can guess who wrote this blurb 😁)

If you're a Ugandan within the 25-35 age bracket and haven't heard of The Lantern Meet before, we are straight up judging you.

On this episode, we speak to Amooti Wobusobozi of Ibua Journal about the work they are doing in film, publishing and probably recitals! We talk about the evolution of the foundation into Ibua Journal.
