According to Nkosana, podcasts are the new platforms for learning, trading knowledge with experts to ordinary citizens, and have a potential to reach millions of people globally.

“When I started, the reception and response towards my podcast wasn’t what I had anticipated, and I felt the need to go back to the drawing board.

“Through research and acquiring more knowledge, I decided to give it another shot.

“I know I have a great voice for radio and a personality to match it.

“So far I haven’t found the right channel or know the right people to get me into radio,” says Nkosana.

He has dreams of owning his own studio one day.

“I am a firm believer of doing things for myself, chasing my dreams and goals, which is why I optioned for a podcast.

“Having my own podcast has enabled me to create my own content, be my own boss and work at my own pace with the people I want to work with, whereas with radio one doesn’t get such freedom.

“The end goal is to be able to have a full team which I will be able to pay and have mentorship programmes for young children in the township. I want podcasting to become a thing in the township, more than music,” he adds.

The podcast caters for everyone regardless of political or religious affiliations.

“I keep my content raw with no filters or censorship.

He is currently working with his co-hosts Boitumelo Moeketsi and Innocent Ximba. The podcast is available on SoundCloud, Google Podcast, Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
