General Consensus Podcast

On this episode, Hilary and Gareth were joined by second time guest and friend of the podcast, Mandisa, to review the first season of Loki. They discussed which performances stood out to them, what plot holes stuck out and the controversial nature of Sylvie and Loki's relationship.

After Gareth took some heat from Mandi and Hilary for his Tobey Maguire take, the trio then went on to discuss expectations for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

Three years after J. Cole's release of K.O.D, the hosts were joined by first time guest, Tamuka, to break down the artist's sixth studio album, The Off-Season, and what the aptly titled project might mean for Cole going forward.

As the group spoke on what each individual song meant to them, a variety of opinions were expressed; most viewpoints were unanimous but a few key questions were debated such as where this ranks among his entire catalogue, which songs Hilary and Tawanda barely gave a second listen to and whether or not this will go down as a classic album.

The hosts were joined by Tendo and Specs as they gave a FATWS review and subsequent MCU deep dive. Among the contested issues were whether or not Captain America's speech fell on deaf ears, the pressure on the Black Widow movie and why Brie Larson doesn't deserve any of the unfair criticism for her portrayal of Captain Marvel. Tendo and Tino then discussed possible avenues for the character to be redeemed.

The hosts were joined by Tawanda and Gareth to discuss the false alarm that was the European Super League and whether or not the Premier League ownership model is flawed. After a brief recap of Max Verstappen's win at the Imola Grand Prix, attention was drawn to the inconsistency of the Black Lives Matter movement in sports before Gareth gave his view on whether or not we can really police negative rhetoric.

The hosts were joined by Chiedza and Tanatswa on behalf of We Are Not Broads, to discuss the origin of the organisation.

They also discussed rape culture at length and how even seemingly harmless behaviourisms such as locker room talk and victim blaming prop up rape culture. Perhaps the most important part of the discussion was the role our generation plays in this and how we can look to combat GBV and other injustices attributed to discrimination.

Hilary was joined by first time guests Albert and Cindy as the three of them briefly discussed Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century and what the outlook is for our generation. They also discussed some of the reasons a number of young Africans have trouble trying to reconcile with their identity, both as individuals and as a collective, and how we can look to bridge the gap.

The hosts are joined by the podcast's first external guest, Mandisa, as well as the usual culprit, Tawanda as we discuss our experiences getting used to life in an environment so dissimilar to that which we're used to.

We also discuss how we feel about using social media for entertainment and engagement and learning not to take everyone you come across online seriously.

Following a brief hiatus to focus on the exam season, our hosts were once again joined by Tawanda Kawadza and first-time guest, Gareth Chivasa to discuss the year, our initial reactions to what has transpired and how our perspectives on those around us have subsequently been impacted.

We also discussed the apparent lack of support for black stories in the film and television industry and briefly touched on how the success of "Parasite" at the Academy Awards could pave the way for more minority-driven films.

For our inaugaral episode, Simba and Hilary were joined by Tawanda Kawadza to discuss the African Union's relationship with the citizens of Africa. We also discussed the African Union's complicity in conflict escalation back home and whether or not we as Africans tend to impede ourselves as we search for solutions to our problems.
