Specials: Is Virginity a Social Construct?
Specials: Why Do Songs Get Stuck in Your Head?
This topic was a debate on Nigerian X. Alot of people had a lot of opinions. Most people did not ask what the biological evidence actually says, or even separate the scientific question from the moral one. This episode does breaks down all of that. What the medical evidence says about the hymen. What history shows about how the concept has been applied differently across cultures and time. What documented harm flows from specific virginity enforcement practices. And where sincere religious conviction fits in a conversation that deserves more exactness than it usually gets.

You heard a song in passing and you probably did not even like it, but days later you're singing the chorus in the bathroom. This episode explains exactly why that happens; the cognitive itch your brain cannot stop scratching, why the songs you hate stick harder than the songs you love, why trying to get rid of an earworm only makes it louder, and why Afrobeats hooks were practically built to produce earworms.

You may have seen the cave boat video that trended. Where Nigerian men played Asake at full volume Inside a cave. Nigerian X had opinions about it for days. But here is what nobody in that argument actually explained; why does this behaviour make complete sense from inside Nigerian culture, and what does science say about it? This episode answers that question. And the answer is more enlightening than the argument ever was.
