In The Fries

Hosts Playboy August and guests dive into a heated October episode covering the arrest of 60 foreign nationals for alleged counterfeiting, debates over political corruption and lawmakers’ accountability, the viral Vani engagement scandal, and MC Carol’s controversial comments about Liberian music. The conversation mixes news, cultural critique, and calls for systemic change.

Two Liberian women—humanitarian nurse Rosanna Shack and advocate Georgie Davis—share memories of childhood in Liberia, wartime trauma, and the work of their nonprofit THINK to support vulnerable women and children. The episode explores identity as third-culture kids, disability, child soldiers, Ebola, and post-war rebuilding, and highlights mentorship, political advocacy, and the power of telling personal stories to heal and inspire change.

This episode breaks down Liberia's recent football disappointment and argues for open tryouts, better scouting, youth academies and local player development to rebuild the national team. It also tackles media bias, the controversial AI image arrest under new cyber laws, political corruption, and the need for constitutional and grassroots change to restore accountability and opportunity.

In this episode PlaybioAugust and JBizz sit down with CaneJuice Papi to discuss his move from the U.S. to Liberia, starting farms and food businesses, and the challenges of doing honest work on the ground. They cover environmental damage and foreign mining influence, cultural beliefs and local trust issues, strategies for diaspora engagement, and the idea of building new towns and economies to restore Liberia’s future.

On this episode of In The Fries, the hosts and guests discuss Liberia's urgent challenges: a rising drug epidemic, corruption and weaknesses in the judicial system, illustrated by prison scandals and the spread of casinos and betting. They examine cultural issues affecting young women — sexualization, broken family structures and limited opportunities — and debate how parenting, accountability and diaspora engagement can help reposition and protect Liberia's youth. The episode closes with calls for community-driven solutions, improved governance, and actionable steps to combat drugs, support families and rebuild trust across Liberian society.
