I struggled for ages to find a South African podcast that does a deep dive on local issues - what a thrill to find such an excellent one! Shout out to the whole team for creating something to informative, entertaining, and galvanizing 🙌

Each episode thrills with fast paced, well researched and interesting topics drawing on experiences around the world made locally relevant through the crisp and melodious voice of Rebecca Davis, one of SA’s top journalists.

As a transplanted American living in SA, this show really helps me understand societal and cultural forces here. The episodes are well put together on relevant topics and I always come away having learned something interesting and useful. My only complaint is that it is not more frequent :)

Thank you for your podcast on LongCOVID. I suffered badly with the virus last March for just over a week and then the symptoms persisted for a year. I now feel I am over the worst of it but I still get debilitating attacks on my heart, my lungs, by brain and my gut. Occasional chronic fatigue...Read full review »

Haji and Rebecca make a great combination on this podcast series. For US listeners Rebecca reminds me of Rachel Maddow - she's sharp, progressive, funny and very listenable. In Series 3 they're doing solutions and it's fascinating. I've just listened to the "Race2Dinner"...Read full review »

Just listened to the “What Rwanda got right that South Africa didn’t” episode. Fantastic conversation. I’d love if DSTM could do an episode on further solutions to racism in contemporary SA!

A wonderful podcast that is well-researched and eloquently presented.

Because you asked so nicely, here it is. Always interesting, always thought-provoking, always educational, often entertaining and amusing too... a Sunday night staple. It should be yours too. World class podcast, produced - please note, considering this week’s topic - by women. LGBTIAQ+ women...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast. This season has been particularly captivating. I beam with South African pride at the quality of the content and production every time I listen. My only comments would be...make it longer and make more!
Parusha Partab via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 04/15/21
The pre-natal care (as important as the message is), was being repeated and a long term solution, which is great, but we need something now...a more mediate solution. I think the telling of SA’s history, objectively by scholars, is a great way to make us realise the damage of the past, and how to...Read full review »

This is an extraordinary podcast. It is 100% about SA and its issues. Well done, Rebecca and Hajji and DM!
TheScallywag55 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/08/21
Easily the best local podcast I have listened to. Brilliantly produced and I could listen to Rebecca Davis for ever. Please make more episodes!
GeorgiaOnYrMind via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 01/09/21
Very interesting podcasts , the topics were all fascinating and I enjoyed the wide variety. Please make more!
AnineU via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 01/09/21
I agree with all others - my only complaint is that I would like the episodes to be longer! They’re so engaging - I’m genuinely upset when the episode ends!
lolgreen via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 01/09/21
I WOULD LOVE FOR THESE PODCASTS TO BE AT LEAST AN HOUR LONG IF NOT MORE!!! TOPICS OFTEN ARE HIGHLY INTERESTING AND COMPLEX, THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH IN THE STORIES TO LAST LONGER AND CONTAIN EVEN MORE INFORMATION....
cvc.1111 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 12/13/20
Thoughtful, entertaining while being educational. Two thumbs up! Especially for people interested in South African affairs living overseas!
strafdop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/20
I love that this podcast is international standard yet South African relevant... fascinating and beautifully produced.
MissyBridget via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 11/25/20
I find these podcasts very interesting and educational. They cover a lot of subjects I don’t know much about (just the basics). Please keep them coming. When is the next one going to be posted.
ooglewump via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 11/16/20
I love how podcasts open up a world I know little about. With “Don’t Shoot the Messenger” it’s my own country. The Koeberg bombing plot, Snake Park and Somali communities and E-learning flourishing under lockdown (in rural eastern cape). Wonderful!

Absolutely brilliant every single time

I love the bite size facts and brilliant investigative journalism that the Daily Maverick is known for
RachTZ via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/21/20
I just listened to the episode, “The plot to blow up Koeberg, Part 1: The man with the blueprint“ and it was riveting listening. It’s time the atrocities of the Apartheid Government of the old South Africa get revisited and ventilated for the world to remember what those dark days were like for...Read full review »

Absolutely brilliant podcast.
Vusi Thembekwayo via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/13/20
I just listened to this episode. I kept thinking of revisionist history podcast by Malcolm Gladwell, then came the parting words that golf “is a good walk spoiled”. Those are the exact words by Gladwell. In any case all I can say is down with golf courses. There are many similarities between...Read full review »

Abueng via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 09/28/20
This podcast is so well produced and informative. It really allows me to take a break from life, reading and thinking but to just listen and learn. I love Rebeccas voice. So calming and still informative.

Rebecca Davis is just brilliant in these podcasts. From the topics covered, to the delivery and to the research and guests, it’s great. Oh, and her enthusiasm has me enthralled every episode.
