    S5 Ep|7: Cancel Culture

    Should we cancel 'cancel culture'? This is the question we're asking in this episode as we look at the phenomenon and how it affects people's lives and livelihoods. We also consider whether it has a more adverse effect on people from diverse backgrounds.

    Our special guest is community activist, Sipho Sibanda.

Loving this

Four ladies with different experiences but linked by a few common denominators. If you think they would over-talk or constantly interrupt each other, I have news for you - they don't. Theirs is a lively and endearing chatter, that I thoroughly enjoy.
