*This episode was recorded in May 2023. Thanks for your patience in waiting for new episodes...this being a passion project had to take a backseat in my life in 2023 while putting energy in to other areas of life...not sure how often I'll get around to it in 2024 but I would like to do a few a month if possible. We will see...for now please enjoy this conversation with an absolute legend...Bakithi Kumalo!
