Lesser Known Somebodies

I spoke to the handsome, gifted and hardworking human being Maps Maponyane. Seriously, Maps is more than just a fashionable guy who attends social events. Maps is the epitome of an entrepreneur. Listen to a lovely podcast filled with stories about people sliding through DMs, fake Tinder profiles, how and why he works so hard. Also, Maps and I try to make this the longest podcast of Lesser Known Somebodies. We achieved that goal. Enjoy!

I spoke to radio and television broadcaster Anele Mdoda and it is probably one of the best episodes. Hear how she was the Cristiano Ronaldo of Netball, why I didn't make it as a radio DJ, A BIG SCOOP involving her family tips on being successful, how she is gonna give me $100 when i go overseas, how she resigned from a burger place and how Anele will always encourage and help young talent.

i speak to soccer(football for pedantic people) journey and cool Englishman Joe Crann! Joe and I speak about how he got to be in South Africa, soccer, how he knew he wasn't going to be a striker for his favourite team Sheffield Wednesday, soccer, Benni McCarthy, soccer, how he has covered two World Cups and met famous soccer stars, soccer and hear how I fooled FIFA and thus made me equally as corrupt as they are!

I speak to Hollywood actor/comedian/talented human Orlando Jones. This is the podcast's first real celebrity and we got to speak about dealing with haters, how his daughter changed his life, his portrayal of O.R. Tambo in a Netflix miniseries about Nelson Mandela and then Orlando turns on the heat and asks me a question where i get really embarrassed. Enjoy!

I spoke to Afrikaans comedian/sensation Schalk Bezuidenhout! Schalk came prepared for his interview so you can listen to well formulated answers about us meeting for the first time, him opening for Trevor Noah, me trying to get sponsorship for this podcast, his hospice jerseys and then...Schalk becoming the interviewer and asking me questions. Good, fun, happy podcast. Enjoy.

I spoke to Zeno Petersen who is an award winning cinematographer but more importantly this podcast contains probably the greatest romantic love story of all time and that is the main reason you should give this episode a listen. There are other cool stories about going bald and being accused of murder in Canada...but the love story is the one!

I spoke to Nate Freeman who, the best way to describe him, is an absorber of knowledge. Nate is also a lawyer, an activist, an explorer a "liver of lifer" (Just made up that term. Hear how we discuss his cycle tour from Cairo down to Cape Town and how he has been heavily involved as an activist for the LGBT movement. It is a deep episode. But enjoy.

I spoke to social media guru (is that a thing?) Mike Sharman who is also the owner of Retroviral Digital Communications! Mike and I speak about him growing up with a love for Drama at school, cricketer Graeme Smith, studying acting in America, Pamela Anderson's boobs, One man comedy shows and how winning a fancy dress competition gave him the opportunity to watch the South African cricket team tour England.

I spoke to one of the most unconventional sports broadcasters: Ben Karpinski. Most people may know him as the sports guy on Cliff Central with Gareth Cliff. Others may know him from Twitter as @followthebounce. Listen to us speak about him being a failed House DJ, how he ran away from a Kibbutz in Israel, Why Twitter is mean, my biggest fear, why you shouldn't eat lasagne, frequenting a strip club and his website that takes him places and gets him nice things

I thought I had deleted this podcast! But lucky for you guys and girls I found it. Most people won't know Evert. But he is now vice president of Viacom/Comedy Central Africa. More importantly he has had a hand in launching Comedy Central in Africa and a host of other countries. Listen to us speaking about comedy festivals and him having a braai with the Roast Master Jeff Ross.
