  • Love it!

    Since moving to Dubai, this is my regular fix of no nonsense information to keep in touch with SA. Always look forward to a new episode and it I’ve learnt quite a bit too! Sometimes a little cynical, but overall great!

  • Copy & paste generic bland podcaster

    Bunch of guys sharing their standard misogyny and right leaning ideology. Standard gym bro talk littered with intentional offensive comments for bait. Yawn.
