  Episode 23: The Economy Is in the Group Chat

  Aug 17, 20261h 4m

  In this week's episode, we’re talking about money, friendship, and the awkward reality of trying to have a social life when everything is getting more expensive. The cost of living is making a lot of things feel out of reach, and we get into why there shouldn’t be any shame in saying, “I actually can’t afford that.” Socialising and community are important, so how do we make space for each other without anyone feeling left out or financially stretched? We also talk about the pressure to keep up appearances online, from going out to fitness, beauty and all the other ways we quietly signal that we’re doing well. Sometimes you have to ask yourself whether you actually want something, or whether you've just been convinced that you should want it. And then there’s friendship: knowing when to give, when to receive, when to speak up about money, and how to make sure nobody is quietly keeping score.

  Episode 22: What Are We Actually Doing?

  Aug 10, 20261h 11m

  We had a lot to get off our chests this episode. From the emotional toll of the recession and the guilt that comes with spending money, to friendships that feel one-sided and people who want to know everything about your life while telling you nothing about theirs. We also get into deadbeat parents, accountability, confrontation, forgiveness and why keeping the peace isn't always worth it. Sometimes you have to say what needs to be said, set the boundary and move on. We talk about Women's Day, what it actually means to show up for the people around you, and why everything doesn't need to happen online. We also get into how much we're consuming versus how much we're actually reading, learning, making and thinking for ourselves.

  Episode 21: Women's Month | What Are We Standing For?

  Aug 3, 20261h 11m

  There are some conversations that come around every Women's Month, and then there are the ones we don't spend enough time sitting with.In this episode, we unpack what it means to be a woman in South Africa today, from the everyday weight of navigating patriarchy to the frustration of watching the same cycles of abuse, silence, and performative accountability play out time and time again. We talk about why so many conversations online feel disconnected from history, why it's important to understand the systems we're trying to challenge, and why reading, learning, and asking better questions still matter. We also reflect on the role of community, the importance of standing by your values, and what it looks like to hold people accountable—not only when it's convenient, but when it counts.

  Episode 20: Who Is Women's Month Really For?

  Jul 27, 202648 min

  Every August, we're reminded to celebrate women. But somewhere along the way, it's easy for the real meaning of Women's Month to get lost behind campaigns, discounts, and social media posts. In this episode, we're asking what Women's Month should actually look like in South Africa today. We reflect on the legacy of the 1956 Women's March, unpack the issues that continue to affect women across the country, and have an honest conversation about everything from gender-based violence and economic inequality to the rise of online gambling and its impact on young women. We also talk about the role we all have to play beyond posting online. What does it mean to show up for our communities? How do we become more engaged in the places we live? And what does meaningful support actually look like once Women's Month is over?

  Episode 19: Boundaries in the Digital Age

  Jul 20, 20261h 9m

  Have you ever felt like you really knew someone from the internet? This week, we're joined by Yolanda and Yaya as we unpack parasocial relationships and what it's like to have thousands of people feel connected to you after watching your life unfold on national television. From their time on Big Brother to navigating life as public figures, we talk about fan culture, setting boundaries online, and the fine line between being relatable and being accessible. We also reflect on the pressure of living in the public eye, staying true to yourself, and what it means to build a community without losing yourself in the process.
