This week, Betty struggles to make sense of Trump's Board of Peace, while Veronica asks where the Palestinians are at in deciding what will become of Gaza. Isn't the arrogance of old, white, power-hungry men the reason the world is in this mess in the first place? Betty thinks so. Veronica takes a more nuanced approach, as usual. Listen in and tell us who’s right. 

Plus: Will we remember 2026 as anything other than the year Brooklyn Beckham broke up with his family? Could South Africans have given Mark Carney's Davos speech a decade ago? And gangs of wine moms replace childless cat ladies as the suffragettes of the 21st century.

This week, Betty and Veronica - two middle-aged white women of privilege - tackle BBBEE and ask whether the policy is still showing up for people of colour. Because, you know, life’s too short not to have an opinion... but they welcome dissenting ones. So have a listen and join in.

Plus: Is Trump the ultimate millenial/GenZ poster child despite being a septuagenarian? Is uncertainty the ultimate act of corruption? And will our futures be defined by solo-dates with our AI soulmates? Betty and Veronica give their take on what caught their eyes this week.

In this first episode of the new season of NotJustOneThing, Betty and Veronica take on their old favourite - feminism. Is there still a place for it in 2026 and do you have to be a working woman to be a feminist? They (ragingly) debate the relationship between equality and personal agency and challenge the notion that money sits at the root of it all.

Plus: Is Madura’s arrest outfit really the most interesting thing about the Venezuelan takeover? Is 2026 the year for Gay TV? And will the new Lego bricks make us all just a little bit less fun. Betty and Veronica cover their take on the headlines that caught their eyes this week.

In the final episode of Season One, Betty and Veronica reflect on the honeymoons and not-so-honeymoons of big life changes and why it’s ok for things not to be perfect. They also debate Taylor Swift, that famous penis and the responsibility to fight on behalf of others before taking a complete left turn to argue whether South Africa is still defined by racial tension and if that is even a bad thing?

Plus: What’s next for NotJustOneThing, the podcast? Betty and Veronica tease out what’s to come for Season Two.

Plus: Is authenticity the preserve of the privileged? And is staying informed about global news and happenings your moral responsibility as a voter, parent or human?

If you’re a man (or a woman), this week’s episode is for you. Betty’s back to work and finding men frustrating all over again. But is there really an unfair distribution of the mental load in households especially those with working women? And is there a place for women’s events? Betty and Veronica get into this week and the answers you may find surprising.

Plus: Do the Democratic Alliance in South Africa and the Democratic Party in the US share similar challenges? Betty and Veronica reflect on the marked resonance of a key insight by President Obama’s former senior advisor, David Axelrod.

This week, Veronica shares her experiences launching a business in a male-dominated industry and reflects on the importance of female perspectives and the intimidation of the tech bro culture. Betty discusses her new job (again!), why diversity rocks and whether or not both of them are, in fact, Karens in denial. 

Plus: Has Betty finally conceded that trad wives can be feminists and not all ultra-orthodox women are oppressed? The competitive tally adds up as the weeks-long debates rage on. And clothing and personal branding - is it a thing? That’s all this week in Not Just One Thing.

This week, Betty and Veronica debate body count and the concept of slut shaming. Do sluts even still exist? They navigate the complexities of competition and wonder whether women haven't earned their place in that most time-honored and male-dominated of professional sports: the pissing contest.

Plus: Are Gavin Newsom's political tactics against Donald Trump more gutter politics or a smart move to appeal to an electorate that seems to love a fight? Betty and Veronica fight it out and reflect on whether a dislike of Americans globally is inevitable in light of current political events.

* An apology for our unanticipated break last week. We're back to our regular programming schedule.

This week, Betty and Veronica discuss the TV show that is Devil's Peak and why invisibility might be the key to unlocking its true value. They also talk tradwives - could it be the wave of the future, and the general path to overall health and happiness? And, in response to a specific listener request, they agree (strangely) on a child's right to not choose.

This week, Betty and Veronica talk Love Island and its value as a forecast for the future, why getting drunk might save the world, and hope - what it means, how important it is, and why South Africa might just be the place to find it.
