    Taking A Sabbatical

    It's a wrap! For our last hang of the year, we huddled around the critically acclaimed film Sabbatical, created by Karabo Lediga. A grounded portrait of mother-daughter relationships that left us with many thoughts. Also, in the spirit of last things, we round off with a look at finales - what makes a great finale that'll stay on your mind? Drink Up. Last rounds!   Listen. To.

    Baggage At First Sight

    Ya'll, lonely hearts risked it all to find love on Married At First Mzansi. So, out of respect, we called in our darling bestie Nombulelo Fox to help us chew on the dating show as an experiment, and the state of mjolo in South Ah.    Listen. To.

    Being Childish

    You guessed it, we're getting childish with comedian, actor and filmmaker Donald Glover who also doubles as rapper and false-setto extraordinaire Childish Gambino - which he may be retiring. From his earlier role on Community to creator of Atlanta right through to musician, this guy is kaleidoscopic. We finger licking fux wid it.    Listen. To.

    Black Sterring Masterclass | Zoe Modiga

    She's a musical treasure and we happen to be true stans (can you tell, it's all over our faces!) For this instalment, we basked in the presence of singer and songwriter Zoe Modiga herself. From arriving at her first ever song to a journey on vocal and performance craft. She also let us in on another little(big) secret, you guys! Of course we were all ears! Listen. To.

    D'Angelo & Thangs

    We had to regroup for a meaty catch up on the music that’s been on our minds. From the electric stages of Standard Bank Joy of Jazz all the way to our beloved D’Angelo and why he chose to leave the spotlight. We love to touch on as much as we can! Drink up! Listen. To.
