"How best do we take football to the next level?" - A loaded question I might add. This question forces us to think and device a way forward. It forces us to come up with a plan and slogan that will take us to the next level as a football loving nation. But most importantly it forces us to introspect. 

In this episode we have a critical conversation where we focus on the problems we have that are preventing us from progressing. It's high time we do not shun away from seeing the mistakes we are constantly making and understanding what makes us repeat them time and time again. Once we have a total comprehension of those, it is then we can say we understands how we can take our football to the next level. 

You probably know him as the voice of sports every time you tune your frequency to 98.7, Power FM. But have you ever asked yourself what makes the man tick?! In this episode we get a chance to discuss cars, Nigerian Music, Law and of course Politics. Yep, those are some of the elements that makes the ship sail. Have a listen, I promise you won't regret.

We are halfway through the DSTV Premiership season and befittingly so we had to convene a panel of well-rounded analysts to discuss what an abnormality this Sundowns team is, how Baxter's charges have bounced back. We look at how draws have setback the Sea robbers and how Baroka could face relegation amongst other things.   

In this episode we get to discuss a topic never discussed before. We have seen administrators change sides because of money and players move teams because they are not happy, but have we ever considered what would happen if supporters prioritised their happiness? 

In a continuation from part on I reshuffled the panel to bring a fresh perspective into the topic. This time around the focus was more on knockout tournaments and the role sponsors play in bringing supporters back to the stadium. I'm joined by Bronson Mokabela and Bongani Ntshingila who bring a wealth of information to the topic.

In this episode we had the privilege of hosting one of the most established sportscaster of our generation- Thato Moeng. A very light-hearted chat where we get to know more about Thato the person and her dreams and ambitions. 

In a conversation with punter - Hendrick Maoka, our resident sports finance guru Nqobile, and from HollywoodBets Devin Heffer as well as Banele Pikwa from HollywoodBets we touched on a topic unlike no other - Sports Betting. We got to learn what terms such as "Odds", "bookies" and "overs" all mean. Tricks as well as advice on responsible betting were shared. 

We call them all sorts of names because we feel that as fans we feel that it is up to us to call them out when they are not performing on the field. That may be true to some degree, but what are the long term effects? In this episode I have the pleasure of having former Bafana player Matthew Booth, Former SABCSport Analyst Chris Bongo and a qualified Pshycologist Tebogo. We get to discuss the importance of footballers taking charge of their mental health. 

What better way than to get the full story from the horse's mouth?! In a tell all, we got former Black Leopards midfield wizards Christopher Netshidzivhe to tell his tale about why former pros experience financial challenges. He also got to tell us about his first contract, the people that represented him and the denied move to SuperSport United FC even though he had signed a precontract. 

*Please note, for the sake of the interviewee being able to tell his story we had to sometimes use a language he is comfortable in 

He could have potentially been a national hockey player or a sprinter, but as football supporters we have to be grateful the day Mark decided to choose football over the other 2 disciplines. A firm believer in God who has allowed his religion be the moral compass throughout his career. Have a listen as we take a journey of Mark Haskins  as he evolved from being a pro player to an analyst and a development coach.
