Excellent Podcast for Current Affairs
Great presenters and probably the best podcast I’ve heard of for current affairs for South Africans.
Podcast is ok
Podcast is perfectly decent for daily news etc, however I’m giving it a one star review and unsubscribing because of Mr Poplak’s making light about pairing wine with the murder of South Africans.
