Dani is the first musician I have had on the podcast. I really enjoyed this chat. Listen to the time i defrauded FIFA at a world cup and listen to us share a lot of banter stories (mainly me, she is a good listener). Hear how i scammed my way through an exam and some funny banter. really good chat with a really delicious human.
I sat down with Actor/Comedian Sir Ngesi. I've known Siv for many years and if there was ever a podcast episode i have done which shows the different spectrums of people in the comedy industry then this is it. Listen to Siv and hear a man full of confidence.
This was my first attempt at having 3 people on a podcast. It was fascinating. Firstly i am jealous of both these humans. Hear stories from the famous beauty blogger and her cricketing husband Wayne Parnell. Particularly the way they met, haters and cricket touring and stories. Was just a really good chat and I'm so happy to call these people "friends"
This was the first ever live podcast I ever recorded and it is with Cape Town stalwart comedian Gino Fernandez. A lot of work gets done behind the scenes especially in Comedy and Gino is not only a performer but he has provided a platform for people to perform and get known for years. Listen to us reminisce about starting out, take questions from the audience and speak about our late friend Rustum August - who is probably the ultimate Lesser Known Somebody.
I sat down with my friend Phil who is a really talented person. He does radio and comedy and also plays the ukulele. He even writes and performs a sonf for Africa's 8th best podcast. Listen to his soothing voice as we speak about comedy, his background and general stuff. Really good episode.
One of the first live podcasts of Lesser Known Somebodies and it is with the man that inspired me to start stand up comedy. Riaad is a doctor, and actor, a pioneering comedian but also a really cool guy that has given me a platform more than once. This podcast could have been 2 hours long but I guess I will just have to have him back. it's really good.
I got to speak to the hilarious Cindy Poluta who is an established radio sports presenter. Listen to us talk about her fear of speaking at public events, an incident on Supersport which is too funny and welcome back another voice note from my friend Jan
I sit down and speak to comedian Loyiso Gola about industry politics, life as a vegan and his incredible journey in comedy. Hear how Loy gets to travel the globe, the steps he took to get where he is and find out more about his new show he is touring.
I speak to my new friend, a man called Daniel Gallan. Daniel and I host a cricket podcast but I honest to God believe he is such an amazing journalist who if given the right opportunity will thrive in the journalism industry. Listen to how he got into a fight with a comedian once, how he declined a scholarship to Rhodes university and just other funny stories in general.
