Started from the bottom

This podcast is a conversation with people you just met through a friend on a chilled Saturday afternoon at a braai. You don’t really know who they are so you don’t pass judgement. You engage with them openly. They are funny and controversial. You don’t agree with everything they say, sometimes you wanna stop them but you let them finish cause maybe they could make you see things differently. When you leave the conversation, you feel fulfilled cause you just spent time with that made you think or even made you grow.

Brilliant

Treasurable Trash

This podcast is absolute trash. But in it are treasures I am yet to find on any other podcast, TV/YouTube show or radio. Wildly entertaining and thought provoking conversation keep me hooked and every now and then I’ll be stumped by some stupid, baseless rhetoric sprinkled about in good faith and in a comedic sense - leaving me in stitches while shaking my head in disagreement. Sheer brilliance. No episode is a waste of time. Not a single one.
