Australia’s hottest country act James Johnston drops a bucket-list yarn from South Africa—from armed escorts and stadium shows to a spur-of-the-moment duet sung in English and Afrikaans. We trace the weird radio magic that blew his songs up, the handshake hustle that got him there, a whiskey-room write that turned into a national chant, and the moment 30,000 people in Cape Town sang his brand-new track back at him—word for word. Plus: shooting an elephant gun (500 Nitro), the strangest “tradition” you’ll hear this year (looking at you, springbok poo spitting comp), and why connection beats borders every time. Proper wild. Proper heart. Proper True Yarn.
