S1 Ep3: Where's Home Really... for Big Zuu?

“I gave Harry Redknapp plantain. The man who fielded the most African players, and not one of them ever said “Here’s some stew?!” That was my ting.” Jimi welcomes the larger-than-life rapper, musician, and star of the award-winning TV show, ‘Big Zuu’s Big Eats’ to the podcast. Alongside his trademark humour, Big Zuu gives an insight into why he took on the responsibility of finding his family a home aged just 14, his experience of race and class in the TV industry, and why his BAFTA speech was more important than the award itself.  Keep up with the show or get in touch at whereshomereally.com.
