a coming of age, but irl

By osadolor

"a coming of age, but irl" follows Osadolor as he comments on all things concerning today's youth. He offers entertaining insight on trends, media, pop culture, and creativity while relaying his experience through uniquely crafted sonic experiences.

With fragmented anecdotes and distorted vocals, Osadolor, in "stroke my ego," has made a way to sonically stitch dense conversations, moments of laughter and community, and profound reflections on identity in a cohesive podcast experience around a nuanced perspective of coming of age.
