tTime: Recent Episodes
tSquad
tSquad is a Think Tank started by Peace Corps Volunteers in Uganda. tTime is the series of podcasts interviewing Peace Corps Volunteers and Host Country Nationals to highlight different projects, travels, and experiences in country.
Podcasts are called tTime because podcasts will be as long or shorter than a tea break (tea time)!
The podcasts and interviews do not reflect the views and ideals of Peace Corps.
“Traffic on African Time” – You’ll find this story particularly spooky if you’re from Los Angeles and came to Uganda to run away from traffic only to find out that it’s arguably worse with African time. Health volunteer Stephanie and education volunteer Maddie share their story about the traffic on their way to their Halloween festivities.
“Hearts” – James C. makes his hosting debut as he interviews health volunteer Danielle. Listen to Danielle as she tells how she finds love in all the most unexpected places and how it helps her through the rough parts of her service.

“The One Who Digs” – With great power, comes great responsibility. Agribusiness volunteer Ron G. shares the work he and his host organization does with villages surrounding Kabale and how Peace Corps grassroots approach has helped him move forward in developing relationships in the community.
Mike S. interviews Caitlin R.
“Homelife” – English is a prevalent language spoken throughout Uganda, but one will quickly learn that English is definitely spoken differently here – one of the many charms that Uganda has to offer. Education Peace Corps trainee Caitlin shares her experience at homestay during language training in Bushenyi, a peri-urban town in the southwest region of Uganda.
Josh C. interviews Cindy H. and Teresa W.
“Hotline Bling” – Many Peace Corps volunteers have to make phone calls to families and friends late in the evening to keep in touch – the struggle of living in different time zones. Sometimes, the only places you can get consistent service is that one spot in your house or like agribusiness volunteer, Teresa W., somewhere outside your compound in your questionable neighborhood. Listen to agribusiness volunteer Cindy H. (Teresa’s site mate) share her side of the story of the night when Teresa was attacked.
Mike S. interviews tSquad’s very own Josh C.
“Best Day Ever” – In Uganda, one can easily say that things will very rarely go as planned. Tune in to find out the awkward situation that happens to health volunteer Josh after one of the sites he helped develop doesn’t get a Peace Corps volunteer.

“The Chapati Man” – People take promises (and bread) very seriously in Rubirizi. How serious? Listen to agribusiness volunteer Scott share his story of bread and promises in his village.
