Episode five of RJ and Mama is a lively recap of summer fun, creativity, and RJ’s wonderfully unfiltered storytelling. Mama opens by reminding listeners that the show celebrates children’s opinions — raw, honest, and often hilarious.

RJ shares highlights from their Yorkshire trip, from early‑morning packing advice (“fold your clothes!”) to arriving at Mama’s friend’s home, discovering a giant beanbag, and eating some cold chips from McDonald’s. The pottery session was the star of the trip: RJ painted a heart and a bowl using his splatter‑and‑dot technique, and leaving Yorkshire made him cry because he “enjoyed it so much.” The journey home turned into an eight‑hour saga of cancelled trains and confusion.

Back in London, RJ spent a week at creative media school, discovering digital art, photography, clay modelling, and even directing a Harry Potter scene. He proudly describes making a brown teddy bear and creating a magnetic canvas artwork — which he’s offering as a giveaway to listeners.

The episode closes with RJ and Mama reflecting on their favourite summer moments: Yorkshire for RJ, and painting, travelling, and time together for Mama. It’s a warm, funny celebration of creativity, curiosity, and the beautiful chaos of family life.

In this lively and heartfelt episode of RJ and Mama: Views of the World, RJ takes listeners through his recent summer adventures — starting with a sun‑soaked family holiday in Mallorca. He shares how he prepares for vacations (snacks are essential!), why early flights excite him, and the joy of window‑seat views paired with music that helps him drift off.

RJ reflects on his favourite moments from the trip, including beach days, big breakfasts, and competitive rounds of the family alphabet game — a tradition they’re now turning into a downloadable template for other families.

Back home, the summer holidays continue with new experiences: RJ’s fresh hair twists, a visit to a Guyanese restaurant, and the annual Guyana Fun Day, where a moon ball mishap becomes a lesson in listening to Mama.

The conversation then shifts to RJ’s growing ambitions. He opens up about his love for art — from sunset paintings to pencil‑drawn eagles — and his dreams of becoming both an artist and a pilot. Mama encourages him to dream boldly, reminding him that money should never be a barrier to his future. Together, they explore what life as a commercial pilot might look like and which airlines he hopes to fly for one day.

The episode wraps with summer reflections, football chatter, and an invitation for listeners to join the journey by following their Instagram and website, and sharing ideas for future episodes.

In this lively June highlights episode, RJ takes listeners through a month packed with firsts, fun, and unforgettable moments. From his first-ever overnight camping trip — complete with fox sightings, late‑night “Would You Rather” games, and a dramatic slip in the rain — to celebrating his eighth birthday, RJ shares his experiences with the honesty and humour listeners love. As he puts it, “It was an exciting time…but I literally started crying when I picked you up”.

Mama reflects on her own nerves about the camping adventure, while RJ explains why pizza was scarier than wildlife and why he’s already eager to go again. The birthday recap is full of joy (and tonsillitis), new Jordans, generous gifts, and RJ’s milestone moment: receiving his first debit card. “This was actually really exciting to me because I’ve never gotten a debit card before… it was just a good milestone for me”.

The episode wraps with RJ’s trademark commentary — from holiday plans to World Cup opinions to his favourite songs — giving listeners the wonderfully unfiltered RJ perspective they’ve come to expect.

Warm, funny, and full of real‑life family moments, this episode captures the heart of RJ and Mama: Views of the World: curiosity, connection, and the joy of seeing life through a child’s eyes.

In Episode 2 of the RJ & Mama Views of the World podcast, RJ steps confidently into the interviewer’s seat to introduce listeners to the woman behind the mic — his mum, Roianne. Through a series of thoughtful (and often funny) questions, we learn about her love for travelling, her signature colour teal, and her favourite foods, including tabouli, Guyanese fried fish, and her beloved peanut‑butter‑on‑steamed‑dumplings combo — much to RJ’s horror, given his allergies. Roianne also shares her passion for storytelling, having written around 12 books, and talks about her love for reading crime and thriller novels, painting, and exploring different cultures.

The episode also reveals the values that shape Roianne’s life and parenting. She opens up about her favourite school subjects — social studies, literature, and business — and explains why she prioritises healthy living, from gym sessions to sauna time. RJ keeps the conversation lively, guessing her answers, challenging her airline preferences, and reacting dramatically to anything involving peanut butter. By the end, listeners get a warm, insightful portrait of Roianne: a creative, thoughtful, Guyanese‑rooted mum who brings depth, humour, and heart to the podcast, and whose mission is to help children — starting with her own — unlock their voices and think critically about the world.

In the very first episode of RJ and Mama: Views of the World, you’ll meet RJ — a brilliantly opinionated, endlessly curious 7‑year‑old with big thoughts, big energy, and even bigger favourites. From his love of travelling and the thrill of airplane take‑offs, to why the color blue is “neutral” and cornflakes deserve top‑tier status, RJ dives straight into the things that make him him.

Mama joins in to guide the conversation and unpack the deeper magic behind RJ’s unfiltered views — showing parents how everyday chats can spark critical thinking, emotional awareness, and creativity in their own kids.

In this episode, you’ll hear RJ share:

• His favourite countries (and why Guyana will always be number one)
• The foods he can’t live without
• Why drawing and painting help him manage big feelings
• His obsession with Roblox and the downside of games you can’t pause
• His top school subjects — history and art — and what they reveal about how he sees the world
• His healthy‑habits challenge with Mama, turning fitness into a fun family game
• The three people he loves most

It’s funny, honest, thoughtful, and full of the kind of kid logic that makes you smile for the rest of the day. If you’ve ever wondered what your child might say if you handed them a microphone, this episode is your perfect starting point.

Welcome to the world through RJ’s eyes — unedited, unexpected, and wonderfully real.
