Season 2 – Episode 11

Welcome to another installment of “Dispatches from Johannesburg”, an official series of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast.

This episode features host Melanie Taddeo, founder of Connect 4 Life, enjoying the unique privilege of speaking with South Africa’s very own Mr. Taps.

Mr. Taps is the renowned author, advocate and station manager of Skills Village Radio. He is also South Africa’s first blind rapper. Evoking the work of legendary communications theorist, Marshall McLuhan, Mr. Taps is someone who provides the medium and the message.

For anyone interested in advocacy work, you’re in for a real treat. Not only does Mr. Taps have one of podcasting’s most vibrant and infectious personalities, he explains the three pillars of his advocacy work and how he measures success.

He and Melanie then share with listeners how anyone – including you – can be a change-maker, someone who can make a positive difference in the lives and livelihoods of people of all abilities in every one of our communities.

Dispatches from Johannesburg is published every month or so and is an exclusive feature of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast. Check out more episodes of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music or wherever you enjoy your favourite podcasts.
