    Impulse Control, International Leadership and Immigration

    In a fresh take on the usual format, Betty and Veronica are joined by Midge, a partner in a global financial consultancy based out of London, to discuss what right South Africa has to act as moral authority on the international stage. And she helps settle the debate. Points are scored. Plus: Is Johannesburg making a comeback as Cape Town’s weather, traffic and high cost of living push people back up north? Would Betty and Veronica have gone for a walk with Epstein? And is the South African Postal Service the much-needed plug-in to social media rage baiting?

    TikTok, Talking Trumpish, and Taking Action

    New Year’s parties, resolutions, intentions and journalling are in the spotlight this week as Betty and Veronica fight about whether self-improvement can and should be intentional. Betty says no. Veronica says yes. And, for once, they cannot find a middle ground.  Plus: Is the US TikTok joint venture just BBBEE by a different name? Is the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen following in Gavin Newsom’s footsteps by channeling Trump’s Tough Guy talk? And should France wage a war against bad parenting rather than social media companies?

    Oratory, Old Boys and Open Family Feuds

    This week, Betty struggles to make sense of Trump's Board of Peace, while Veronica asks where the Palestinians are at in deciding what will become of Gaza. Isn't the arrogance of old, white, power-hungry men the reason the world is in this mess in the first place? Betty thinks so. Veronica takes a more nuanced approach, as usual. Listen in and tell us who’s right.  Plus: Will we remember 2026 as anything other than the year Brooklyn Beckham broke up with his family? Could South Africans have given Mark Carney's Davos speech a decade ago? And gangs of wine moms replace childless cat ladies as the suffragettes of the 21st century.  Support the pod: Share this episode with a friend. Subscribe so you never miss one.

    Bots, Bloodsports and Black Empowerment

    This week, Betty and Veronica - two middle-aged white women of privilege - tackle BBBEE and ask whether the policy is still showing up for people of colour. Because, you know, life’s too short not to have an opinion... but they welcome dissenting ones. So have a listen and join in. Plus: Is Trump the ultimate millenial/GenZ poster child despite being a septuagenarian? Is uncertainty the ultimate act of corruption? And will our futures be defined by solo-dates with our AI soulmates? Betty and Veronica give their take on what caught their eyes this week. Support the pod: Share this episode with a friend.

    Maduro, Money and Making Gay Great Again

    In this first episode of the new season of NotJustOneThing, Betty and Veronica take on their old favourite - feminism. Is there still a place for it in 2026 and do you have to be a working woman to be a feminist? They (ragingly) debate the relationship between equality and personal agency and challenge the notion that money sits at the root of it all. Plus: Is Madura’s arrest outfit really the most interesting thing about the Venezuelan takeover? Is 2026 the year for Gay TV? And will the new Lego bricks make us all just a little bit less fun. Betty and Veronica cover their take on the headlines that caught their eyes this week. Support the pod: Share this episode with a friend if it stuck with you. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
