New Year. New Energy. Same Sobering. 
We’re kicking off the year with a hosts-only episode, no guest, just us, the parlay way.

From sneakers and style to getting carried away debating international albums, we reflected on the sounds that moved us and recapped the summer events that shaped the season. We also unpacked the growing presence of international promoters in SA’s summer scene and what it means for the culture going forward.

Honest takes, good laughs, and necessary dialogue to start the year right. Tap in Sober Soldiers!
