Is your body a home or a billboard for public opinion? Today, we examine the painful, hilarious, and honest world of Damilare Kuku. Her novel, "Only Big Bum Bums Matter Tomorrow," asks if a physical fix is truly the ticket to visibility. For many, the pressure for perfection is a heavy trade for peace. We are diving into the mirror.

In this episode, we unpack:- The Weight of the Title: Why a blunt phrase covers deep trauma and insecurity.- Pretty Privilege vs. The Trap: The dark side of curves and why attention is often negative.- Societal Cycles: How body shaming starts in schools and African family homes.- The Open Ending: Was the surgery ever the real issue?

Imagine losing your husband and your sister in the same car accident, only to find out they were having an affair. Would you tell your daughter the truth?

In this explosive Book Club episode of Stuck in Podcast x Palm Wine Central, we dive into the messy, heartbreaking world of Colleen Hoover’s "Regretting You." We’re debating the ultimate betrayal: Morgan’s husband sleeping with her sister, Jenny.

We argue over Morgan vs. Clara (who deserves the sympathy?), whether Jonah was selfish for dropping the baby off, and the red flags everyone missed. Plus, we get real about when we stopped seeing our parents as heroes and started seeing them as flawed humans.

"Is 'Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus' a relationship bible or a manual for outdated stereotypes? 🧐

In this Stuck in The Middle Podcast x Palm Wine Central book club episode, Unkle AK and Terez go head-to-head on the most controversial parts of John Gray's classic. We're asking: did he get it right, or did he teach women to play small?

In This Explosive Debate:

- The "Man Cave" Theory: Is it a necessary male process or just an excuse for poor communication?

- The "Rubber Band" Theory: Terz calls it "permission to be emotionally distant."

- AK's SHOCKING Analogy: He compares the "man cave" to... a woman's menstrual cycle?!

- Does This Book Ask Women to "Shrink Themselves"?

- The "Point System" RANT: AK loses it over the idea that all gestures are "one point."

- "Your Vagina Should Be Screaming!" AK's unfiltered take on big gestures.

- AK's "Better" Love Letter: His hilarious (and X-rated) modern alternative to writing.

What part of this book still holds value for you, and what belongs in relationship history? Let us know in the comments below!
