The conversations most people avoid, finally out loud.
The Untamed Section is a London-built podcast and editorial platform for the African diaspora and anyone living between two worlds. We sit down with real people, in studio and remotely, to untangle the parts of life abroad that rarely get an honest airing: money, identity, family, success, and what going home actually costs.
A home for the unfiltered
Every week we publish long-form video episodes on YouTube, then carry the most important moments into written stories, quotes, and listening guides. Guests choose one of three formats: My Story, My Expertise, or A Big Conversation. We record in a London studio or remotely, and every episode is built around one person's lived experience rather than a talking-points reel.
The platform also handles bookings, guest applications, and a newsletter that delivers each new episode straight to your inbox the moment it drops. Listeners can tune in on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Instagram, all without leaving the site.
This is who it is for: Africans in the UK and across the diaspora, the people who love them, and anyone curious about the maths and the meaning of building a life far from home.
Hosted and produced by Eric Khay, from London, United Kingdom.
Eric Khay leads the show end to end, from sourcing guests and shaping each conversation to producing the episodes, stories, and newsletter. The studio is based in London, United Kingdom, and the show is built for a global African audience that deserves better than surface-level takes.
