Spudcaster

One of my most memorable interviews was with a veteran newsman who suffered no fools. This was compiled for SABC Radio. I have reproduced it on the Spudcaster page. It tells the life story of a veteran newsman, who lived and breathed the struggle against apartheid. And he penned many a short story to tell the tale.

I stumbled upon the name for this podcasting platform, quite by chance. I was visiting the National Zoo in Pretoria, and this painting of a baobab tree really grabbed my attention. There's a mini market where artists sell their wares at the Zoo's entrance. The artist is known only as Bab'Grand. The tree is a symbol for a meeting place in African tradition. The idea for the podcast, Spudcaster, was born from my love of a simba chip ad when I was a kid. They were all chanting "I want to be a simba chippie" and then one potato rolls off the back of the truck and they zoom in on him saying "I osso wanted to be a simba tsipie" (this is the typical accent associated with coloured people). I loved that add. So baobulb is a combination of the spud and the symbolic tree.

You can find this and other podcasts on the Spudcaster page.

I had a rather uncomfortable experience when I participated in the 2018 Colour Run in Johannesburg. As one of my first forays into podcasting, I compiled this short episode. Contact us if you’re interested in setting up your own podcast!
