8 – Ubuntu

10 – Ugly People

After a few months of drifting, doubting, and reconfiguring, we’re back for Season 2... and we’re locked in. Kyla pushes back on accusations of nihilism and unpacks the live-streamed assassination of Charlie Kirk by an irony-pilled 22-year-old. Mzonke examines Burkina Faso’s criminalisation of homosexuality and the predictable capitulation of so-called radical leaders like Ibrahim Traoré. Evan reflects on the historical perspective and timescale of Zionism and what it reveals about the modern nation-state. Join us as we wade through the murky waters of chaos, confusion, and division, making our way toward the shores of clarity and solidarity.

9 – Nothing's Sacred

Recorded a couple of days before Ramaphosa’s now-infamous White House meeting, we discuss the moral inversion at the heart of American political theatre, where the language of “genocide” is co-opted for spectacle, while real atrocities are ignored. Mzo traces how white fear continues to distort global politics, and Kyla spotlights the overlooked crisis of the South African soldiers still stranded in Goma, DRC.

8 – Ubuntu

We discuss Tucker Carlson’s hyperbolic interview with Ernst Roets—a masterclass in reactionary myth-making that twists reality to serve exclusionary agendas while sidestepping any honest reckoning with South Africa’s present. Kyla reminds us to log off, speak to one another and call our moms. And Mzo asks, "Who is going to create the record, if not us?"

7 – A Beacon

After a brief hiatus, we are back in the booth to reflect on the mood of the past few months, how South Africa is navigating being in the geopolitical crosshairs, and asking, "What even is funny anymore?"

6 – Mmmmkay

We discuss Darren Campher's joining the MK Party as its head of research. What does that mean, how did it happen, and who benefits from it?
