  • A must listen for every South African

    Des has done a superb job weaving together multiple narratives to tell the story of South Africa with all it nuance and subtlety that is often ignored with todays rhetoric. If anyone actually cares what happened to the country and how it became what it is, this is the podcast to listen to.
