About this podcast
Overthinkers Anonymous by Zikoko is a weekly conversation show where Deji Osikoya (with Osato Edokpayi) and guests unpack the wildest real‑life dilemmas, hot takes, and “should I be worried?” moments, turning the kind of overthinking that happens in group chats and on the TL into honest, hilarious, and surprisingly grounding conversations.
