Sugar Free Jaba Juice, Boda Bodas & Fine Art - Nduta Kariuki | Coffee Pump (E104)

23 Jun 2026 · 1 h 46 min · S1 E104

Konnichiwa Fam,

On E104, I sit down with Nduta Kariuki, a key member of , for a very random but honest conversation about panic attacks, comedy, art, family, and trying to figure life out as a creative in Kenya.

We talk about:

• Dealing with panic attacks and nerves before public speaking

• How Nduta got into stand-up comedy

• Kisangani, live shows, and Kenya’s growing podcast scene

• Boda boda safety and the correct way to hold the rider

• Growing up around Ngong and finding her creative path

• Fine art, portraits, galleries, and the realities of being an artist in Kenya

• Matatu art, anime designs, and who actually decides what goes on a matatu

• Taking care of family and moving back home

• Money, happiness, contentment, and why not everyone is chasing the same life

• Jaba juice, mursik milk, lactose intolerance, and other terrible business ideas

• Comedy, routine, unpaid care work, and balancing different versions of yourself

As always, the conversation goes everywhere (apparently I have ADHD).

Hope you enjoy the episode.

Best,

Team Coffee Pump
