The Kulcha

New week, new Kulcha. This time around, we went deep diving into our archives and we found this recording that we made during The Kulcha Market in May 2022. Stan lead the chats with Mahoota (No Hidden Agenda) and Brantley & Ubereatzz (The Virtuoso Speaks) joining in their capacity as music podcasters. This was a light hearted conversation breaking down the origins, expectations and observations of the music podcasting journey of our guests.  This also leaves a question: which artist (dead or alive) would make a good podcast.  Light one up, sit back and listen, for the (musical) Kulcha...

Why is everyone running to tell Piers Morgan their juiciest  news?

Weird. 

This episode is a trial run as we experiment with adding visuals to our podcast.

After a long time dabbling between life and other things, The Kulcha finally has a new podcast, for the Kulcha. Stan had no choice but to debate with Uno about the recent drama surrounding Uno's favourite musician, Kanye West. After a while, Stan segued into a chat about the Baked Shakespeare theatre production that is nearing its conclusion. From there, the news about Australia not wanting to be ruled by King Charles and his Queen, who was once his side chick. Now you know why we titled this episode the way we did. Sit back, roll one up and listen to this Kulcha.

New week, new Kulcha! 

This time around, we recorded on location with some of our homies in 
Boksburg. Uno started things off with a grinding (or is it crushing) ice breaker. From there, we give off a young example of High Therapy when one of the homies brings up a relationship issue. 

From there, we get deeper and try to find out if society needs to have a hard reset and all the homies had their perspective on what would work best for the human race as we know it and what would it take to unify the people of South Africa. 

We touched a little bit on AI generated music, but that is something that might pop up again. Roll up and kick back with the homies. for the Kulcha.

New week, new Kulcha!

This time around, we got to chatting with Jake Maisel, the founder of the Cape Town based theatre production company, Baked Shakespeare.

We got to figuring out the inspiration to create Baked Shakespeare, their past and current movements as well as solving an allegation that Shakespeare was a colonizer.

The Kulcha is proud to announce that we are working with Baked Shakespeare to bring the 420 friendly version of Twelfth Night..or What You Will to Johannesburg and Pretoria.

This weeks edition of The Kulcha Podcast kicks off on a contentious note as guest Eddy (aka Gangsta), Uno and Stan get into a debate about the apparent differences that exist between miracles and luck. At first glance, one might not notice the differences/similarities but this deep diving ice-breaker sets the pace to allow for an engaging conversation on the matter. And that was just the ice-breaker. 

In conversation with Gangsta, we get onto the subject of art and why an artists art is likely to change once they become successful. 

On the subject of success, we get into Banyana Banyana's emergence as the Champions of Africa in women's soccer. The panel, excluding Uno, take their opportunity to cast a shadow of doubt on the ladies ability to take the World Cup. 

There has been a trend toward tavern terrorism in South Africa over the past few months as Uno proposes the country may be under siege. Stan and Gangsta also chip in with their views and drop the daily allegation in that the Sotho Mafia may be the reason for all the recent carnage. 

On the matter of justice, Uno expresses his shock at how well and swift the system is when dealing with last years "insurgency", 20 instigators where arrested, but they still can't tell us who killed Senzo Meyiwa, in a room full of people? The situation then begs the question - Is there any justice in the world?

In episode 139, Stan and Uno are still very high off of the first month of a successful series  of Kulcha Sundaze. The event was well attended and the crowd loved the announcement that we wouldn’t be going anywhere for a long time to come! In the episode, we even touch on what we are witnessing at Sundaze - creative alignments being formed. Artists who may have never known each other, are meeting up and are working together. Being able to facilitate that kind of an environment is a great honour and blessing, which we cherish.

We also take the time to touch on some street politics via the subject of a certain Mr Vusi Khekhe. The conversation ensues and leads to a very very philosophical question in the conversation of corruption and integrity. The question is asked - is being corrupt, being pro-life? Seeing that having integrity is essentially an application for a murder. Also, are business forums, gangs?

We high-pothesise on a few reasons why the proposed National Shutdown that was meant to take place, wasn’t as impactful as it was meant to be, using the Million Man March as an example.

If you could travel to any point back in time, when/where would you travel to? Stan jokingly, but not jokingly suggests that black people may have time travel restrictions considering…you know…history. lol. In the same breath, we try to unpack or understand Joe Rogan’s authoritative views on the rules of time travel and all Uno wants to do is time travel to time where the human race was generally happier.

This is your cue to roll one up, sit back and enjoy the chats!

It’s The Kulcha!!!

It’s The Kulcha!!!

Episode 140 kicks off on a high note (lol) as we delve  straight into the lengthy conversation about the world currently being in a state of correcting itself. 

Stan points out a number of notable events to sustain his theory that indeed nature is playing a more active role as the world self-corrects. 

A few historical facts come up on the subject of self-correction such as Agent Orange and the Hydrogen Bomb. Uno recalls his long time admiration of JFK and how that has changed with knowledge that JFK ultimately signed off and approved on the implementation of one of the greatest tragedies to ever befall Vietnam. Going to show perhaps that when we admire men, we need to understand that a man is both a hero and a villain and that time will tell what he will be remembered more for.

Just for kicks, we ask - is Elon Musk the white Nick Cannon? You know why we ask, right? lol

this is the sign you've been waiting for - its time to get high!!!!

New week, new Kulcha! 

This episode is special for 2 reasons. 1) We recorded on location at FourFourTwo just before we started with Kulcha Sundaze in June 2022, and 2) We were joined by Pretoria based lofi hip hop duo, Born Fire Rebelz.

AV & Malcolm do this hip hop thing different, so we wanted to break down their inspirations, thought process and musical techniques. Which was perfect timing as their latest EP called Preparations is available now on all good streaming platforms.

Stan takes a small offramp to discuss the 1st time he got stood up on a date. And we chatted a bit about the break-in at the President's farm in Bela Bela. Yep, it's a movie!

No blunt was lit on this one, but we still did for the K-U-L-C-H-A

New Week, New Kulcha!

This week, we get the chat jumping via an interesting ice-braking question - if you had to chose between loyalty and respect, what would you choose and why? Also, whats the difference between the two, especially in the context of Love? Yeah, this is how this podcast episode starts!!!

Next up on our conversational agenda is the subject of the unbelievable actions of our not-so-beloved president Cyril Ramaphosa. Like, who gets robbed then pays the guys who robbed him to keep the robbery a secret. What an absurd solution to the problem and its not surprise that eventually, the cover-up came into the eyes and ears of the public and boy are we surprised.. The situation begs the question - what kind of criminal reasoning is our president using? 

Only in Africa can you be a 60 year old presidential candidate and be considered the youngest amongst your competitors as is proving to be the case in Nigeria as they get ready to go to the polls.

In a rare eventuality of a Twitter timeline topic making it to our podcast talking points, we dissect the issue of  low marks and failing academics and why it's so shamed in society that a couple would break up and share each others academic records on the timeline. How immature, right? Maybe they actually do belong together, right? Lol…we dissect the topic then quickly dismiss it as it really is just stupid and we can understand why they both had academic struggles!

Oh yeah…you guys remember Hamilton Ndlovu, the guy who bought 10 super cars in one day? Yeah, 10! Can you believe that?! Ok, so what does Hamilton have in common with some of our favourite cryptocurrencies? They both took a very costly knock!

Right, this is the end of the synopsis. Thanks for reading…its time to roll up now and listen!!!
