The G.O.A.T.S of Ugandan radio are back on the mic as the trio, but this time, it’s NOT RADIO. In a special takeover of The Tribe UG Podcast, Siima, Rudende, and KK reunite for an unfiltered, unapologetically witty episode that feels like catching up with the greatest people on the mic. Known for their unmatched chemistry and razor-sharp takes, the trio emerged from “hibernation” to bring the legendary Not Radio vibe to The Tribe UG Podcast.They kick things off with a cryptic proverb, plenty of banter, and the kind of off-the-cuff energy that made them icons. Siima gets into the intersection of AI and music production, while Kenni and Rudy weigh in with their usual mix of bold opinions and offbeat humor. From whether Gen Z should leave millennials TF alone, to outrageous “Would You Rather” scenarios, nothing is off-limits. It’s the crossover episode we didn’t know we needed, and the kind of podcast content that reminds you why these three remain icons in Uganda’s media landscape. Real talk, real laughs, real radio legends, just not on the radio.Hosts:⁠ ⁠Moses Rudende, Siima Kyakuhaire, Kenni Kareem📸: Captured by Makobi for Skyline Media🎥: Allan Onen for Skyline Media🔊: Sound by Hassan⁠ for Skyline MediaConnect with The Tribe UG 📧: [email protected]: ⁠@TheTribe_UG⁠Instagram: @thetribeug Facebook: The Tribe UG YouTube: The Tribe UG 📱 WhatsApp: +256773242744
