Episode Details

With Carvin H Goldstone in the building, we dive into comedy, politics, culture, and the crazy realities of South Africa.

From whether SA comedians are actually the best to how far comedy can go before you get cancelled, we unpack joke writing, celebrity culture, and the messy truths of the entertainment industry. The conversation gets deeper as we tackle poverty, BBBEE, race, government failures, and whether anyone is actually coming to save us.

We also touch on life after apartheid, foreign competition, leadership debates, and even religion and hypocrisy — all with humour, honesty, and zero filters.
