Influence, Epstein & Exit Visas

Do we need to suffer for kids to bloom? That’s the uncomfortable question that kicks off today’s conversation as the team unpacks Gen Z mental-health buzzwords and the culture shaping them. Levi Brown joins the show to talk DeInfluencing — what it really means, why it matters, and how he’s using his platform to push back against brands like Virgin Active in the name of accountability. Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski then dive headfirst into the latest Epstein file drop, attempting to connect the dots as the rabbit hole gets darker and deeper. Plus, Matthew Fubbs from The Holiday Factory breaks down which countries South Africans can travel to visa-free — and why now might be the time to pack a bag. The Real Network

And comedy legend Tumi Morake joins the show to unpack finding humour in the chaos of South Africa… and why laughing through the madness might be our greatest survival tool The Real Network

Pu Yi: The Emperor Who Lost Everything

A toddler crowned the “Son of Heaven.” An emperor who never ruled. A puppet of Japan, a prisoner of the Soviets, and finally a humble gardener sweeping leaves in Beijing. In this haunting episode of Blind History, Gareth and Anthony trace the extraordinary rise and devastating fall of Pu Yi — the last emperor of China. From the golden throne of the Forbidden City to communist re-education camps, this is the unbelievable true story of a man born to rule eternity… and forced to live a life of anonymity.
