Explore every episode of the podcast My TV Journey With Lola

In this episode, Lola sits down with Middle Eastern TV powerhouse Hayam Sabury, a true multi-hyphenate who's worn every hat from producer to show caller to post wiz. With over 15 years in the industry, Hayam has worked with major brands like Pepsi, Bugatti, Snapchat, and Pizza Hut — and she’s got the wild stories to prove it.

They chat about: 

•  How she broke into the industry
•  Her role as Unit Production Manager on the film Mountain Boy
•  The biggest budget she's ever worked with (yes, she spills!)
•  The rise of AI in content creation

  And yes... the mysterious world of donkey whispering

This one’s packed with laughs, gems, and a whole lot of real talk about what it’s like to work behind the scenes in the Middle East’s fast-growing creative industry.

In this debut episode, Lola kicks things off with a deep dive into her own journey through the TV industry—spanning over a decade in the UK with roles at NBC, BBC, and a travel doc with the legendary Michael Palin. From producing in Nigeria to navigating the ups and downs of being a Black woman in media, she’s spilling the tea, dropping behind-the-scenes gems, and setting the tone for what’s to come.
