In 1902 a lion dragged Harry Wolhuter into the dark.

He is the only man known to have killed a lion with a knife - and sixty years later, he told the story himself.

He was riding home from a long patrol in the Sabi Game Reserve, ahead of his party, on a path he had ridden a hundred times. Two shapes came up out of the grass. He thought they were reedbuck. They were lions.

The first knocked him from the saddle. The second took him by the right shoulder and began dragging him backwards towards a dry stream bed, and Harry Wolhuter stayed conscious the whole way - long enough to wonder, with…

Yesterday (24 March 2026) South Africa held its first-ever parliamentary roundtable on podcasting. The Portfolio Committee on Communications & Digital Technologies sat down with legislators, regulators, global platforms, and industry voices to begin mapping the future of a sector that's quietly become an island of economic excellence.

We took the full transcript from the YouTube stream, ran it through AI to extract the key positions, the political signals, the presuppositions, and the implications nobody's talking about yet, and then (obviously) turned the whole thing into an AI-generated…

It's early 2026 as we write this and Ai has advanced sufficiently that we can start sharing some interesting podcast-related demonstrations.
For this episode, we directed an Ai Agent (can we call them Aigents yet?) to 'scrape' our website and write a script. We then selected two ai-gen voices to 'perform' the script.
This is the result...

In this IP 101 discussion, Jean van Vuuren and Kim Rademeyer explore various aspects of intellectual property, focusing on trademarks, copyright, and their applications in different industries. They begin by addressing the difference between trading names and trademarks, emphasizing that they don't necessarily need to be the same. Jean explains that a trading name is often associated with a holding company, while a trademark is used for specific products or services. They discuss the importance of trademarking both company names and individual product names. The conversation then shifts to…

I was 37, already a neurologist for many years, the day my beautiful grandmother forgot how to get home. A home where I spent my happiest childhood days.

I knew then that I had to do more to help her, now living with Alzheimer's disease, and more for the people I was seeing in my practice, in ways that academic neurology at that stage did not offer.

There was so much research on what could be done to keep the brain healthy and mentally well. So much research on how to support better brain function, to reduce the risk of illness such as Alzheimer's disease, depression and stroke, but also to…

In 1979, the Buggles proclaimed that "video had killed the radio star." Yet decades later, the radio star continues to shine.

At 11 years old, my dream of becoming a radio host was ignited by hearing the legendary Bonang Matheba on Metro FM. Now, as AI reshapes the media landscape, the resilience of the radio personalities faces never before tests.

Join me on Leo's perspective as we delve into the enduring allure of radio, the impact of AI on broadcasting, and the future of radio stars in the 21st century, and ask the question - "will the radio stars survive the next 50 years?"

For the transformation of unemployed youth.

I was 21 years old evangelising around Umtata.

Some of the people we met were hungry and I thought buying bread and milk would have helped them more at the time.

This incident deeply bothered me and is connected to the scripture in James 2 verse 26, “Faith without action is dead.”

This scripture propelled me to seek ways of ensuring people go to bed with a full stomach.

Welcome to the Kingdom Business Podcast. For the transformation of unemployed youth through the Tsoha Africa Skills Hub’s artisan training, entrepreneurship activities, and…

At a very young age, my family went through an incredibly traumatic experience. Not understanding the implications of that as a young child, this influenced many negative decisions in my life, leading to self-sabotage. After 30 years of repeating the same pattern, I decided to speak about it and get help during this journey. I realised how powerful the mind is, and that communicating and talking is the first step of this ladder to success.

I'm Sean Davey. Welcome to Wholeful, where wholeness can be found in being grateful.

My grandfather owned a trading store in a small village in Newcastle where he sold a variety of products. I have fond memories of being awakened by Coca-Cola and Albany bread trucks delivering their products. I was about 8 years old and I was already very brand conscious. I can still picture the captivating Mobil Gas advert featuring the red flying horse. I was drawn to that ad, and as I grew older I realised that my affinity for that brand and that of Coca-Cola was not coincidental. There was science to it. This piqued my curiosity leading me to pursue my in-depth study all the way to…

I remember the first time I noticed that women get treated a little differently at work. I was six months pregnant and running out of breath to the office. Late, as usual. Visibly pregnant, I asked for a permission slip to park closer to the building. But I was told that I needed a handwritten note from my gynae. Awks, I know. But it was then that I knew that the person who I needed help from would never understand what it meant to compete at work while sleep-deprived and managing a household. Life can leave you on a sour note, you know, but it doesn't have to stay that way.
Welcome to Suwah…

She was eight years old, the phone rang. The news broke, so did she. Her idol, her everything, her father - just died. She watched her mom collapse from sheer shock. Overwhelmed by emotions far greater and bigger than her, she stepped outside. Not a tear. She didn't know how to feel, how to cope, and how to articulate. She didn't recognise this pain. That was the day she lost her voice.

And today is the day I choose to talk about it and use my story, the story of so many, to empower others with the tools and means to be more than just 'okay'.

Welcome to Rediscovered, the podcast that talks…

They say once a horse breathes on your soul, your life is changed forever.

I don't remember the first time a horse breathed on me, but I do remember the magic and the absolute conviction that something I could not live without. It is something I've been in pursuit of ever since. Monty Roberts famously said, "The horse will tell you" and I have found that grabbing mane and trusting the horse has led me to the most incredible people, places, and experiences of my life.

Welcome to the Louw Flyer, the podcast that talks to horse enthusiasts everywhere about the magic of the horse, so that you…

I remember my grandmother taking me to town with her. We would have lunch together at a posh restaurant called the Grand Café. We would sit by the booth which had the most sun, so it was always warm. We chatted for long, laughed a lot, and she listened with love and great interest. I felt heard, seen, as well as nourished in that time. I've carried that warmth with me throughout my life and realize that the moments with our elders are like a wisdom blanket.

Welcome to the Grand Café, which talks to the elders of our communities about the best and most challenging times of their lives, so…

When I discovered writing and storytelling for the first time, I was around 10 years old when my mom brought out my gran's big old green typewriter. You know the one with those big, heavy, clanky keys that you really had to hammer down hard on? And I remember feeling excited and inspired to create stories. That led me to discovering the word 'processor' when I used to join my mom at her offices during school holidays. And there I would dream up love stories inspired by the Sweet Dreams novels that I would read as a teenager. Little did I know that then this would lead me into the storytelling…

I was in London in 2003, attending a mobile gaming conference. At the time I was working for a new international motorsport championship, and I believed it may be an opportunity to have a mobile racing game. Bearing in mind, this was still during the feature phone era, smartphones were yet to be a thing. I left the conference convinced that content would be vastly consumed over the internet, out of the home, and on multiple devices. Whilst this has proven to be the case, many video-on-demand streaming businesses have failed or have yet to reach profitability. Why?

Hi, I'm Steven Watson,…

My name is Tsholo. I'm always having conversations with my brothers aka friends on our WhatsApp group. And with every check-in, it ends up being a competition of who consumed the best, most expensive alcohol in copious amounts, or which brother got to the hottest chick over the weekend. Mind you, most of them are married family men with kids. Seldom nothing that contributes to us being healthy present fathers, brothers, uncles, comes to the fore in these conversations. I mean, these are who our fathers and grandfathers used to be. How do we break this vicious cycle? What are we running from…

Hi, I'm Nairobi Twala. Throughout my childhood, I've always been constantly aware of the world around me, constantly being exposed to the stories of those who came before me and aspire to cultivate change as a result of the lessons learned from those stories.

From freedom fighters to media personalities, I probably know someone who matters to someone and here, their stories will be shared. Welcome to the eight-twelve, the podcast that talks to the youth of today about African history through intergenerational conversations so that we can learn from the past and inspire the future.

I remember my early years in Sri Lanka, where the serene footsteps of Buddhist monks contrasted with the hooting and chaos of daily life.

After 20 years in the UK, I chose to live in Southern Africa, and it was there, on the cow dung floor in the Marico, that I reconnected with the sanctuary of stillness, I found what I had always sensed the inner freedom offered by ancient wisdom traditions.

This led me to research and share these timeless practices, which bring us into compassionate connection with ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

Having lived in places where inequality is…

It was in the late 1970s when the Johannesburg city streets were taken over by panga-wielding men who were killing anyone in their path.
This was my first experience of black-on-black violence. It shook me to my core, and left me feeling a need for us to rekindle the spirit of Ubuntu.

Welcome to "I See You", the podcast that talks to the African diaspora about celebrating our cultural diversity so that we can truly see each other.

I remember when I was young and my father had been hospitalized for a year, leaving my family vulnerable with no money. He said to me, "To ever be successful, put people first". My family foundation was built on putting people first and that shaped my values. I now have an opportunity to become a catalyst in the movement of being a community builder.
Welcome to the Seeds of Change. The podcast that talks to pollinators about driving social change so that communities unlock their deserving future.

Christmas 1975. Another set of fucking girly PJs that really I had no need for. Shorts and Ts did it for me. Dammit, don't they get me? Know me? How many pairs of PJs do I really need?

What started off as "let's give it a go and see what happens" turned into an overnight success... 15 years later!

As a teenage suicide survivor, struggling with bouts of depression throughout my life, as well as suffering with postpartum depression, I know the struggles of running from the shadows. I know what an empty, Dark Pit of Despair looks like.

And what a journey it has been!
