With one Season of Out of the Fishbowl wrapped, i guess that kind of makes me a Podcaster. Which i have wanted to be and do for the longest time. And unless it had absolutely blown up and had a million listeners in the first week, i don't think it could have gone much better. Although finding one more person to listen to Episode I: Pineapple on Pizza, so that i can hit 300 [...]
You clearly have not been following me on social media if you haven't yet heard that i have a Podcast. And that Episode II dropped this week. It is called Out of the Fishbowl and it is two episodes in with Episode III titled 'You can't handle the Truth' dropping this coming Monday at 10am, South African. Out of the Fishbowl Episode I, if you somehow missed it, is titled 'Pineapple on Pizza' and you [...]
On Monday, Out of the Fishbowl Season I, Episode I hit the airwaves - my very first Podcast episode. After more than a year of planning - very unlike me, which you can read about here - and a few weeks of marketing and trying to build up some anticipation, i was more than satisfied that we hit the 100 download mark before i went to bed that night. But even more than that, [...]
If all goes well, then my first ever Season of Podcast: Out of the Fishbowl - will be dropping on Monday! Podcasting is something i have wanted to do for the longest time.

Which you can visit over here. The basic idea of a Patreon page as i understand it is that it is a space to [...]
Tomorrow is my birthday. The whole world, although counting down out loud to it for the past few days and weeks, seems to be a little distracted elsewhere. Which is quite alright, given the nature of the 12-month period we find ourselves in [which can no longer simply be blamed as 2020 as it turns out the sequel is pretty crap as well so far!] i was reminded by a message from an old [...]
I don't see race, but I feel it Crawling down my skin As the glance declares I'm sin I don't see race, but I fear it Coming for me in the middle of the night Armed with the sharp unforgiving Edges of the questions aimed at me Asking how I managed to keep my Head buried in the sand for so long While those on the surface Were the ones suffocating for lack of [...]
i was the casual victim of a stoning today... started innocently enough with one elder tossing an underhanded pebble defensively at me which i might have easily been able to brush off and go about my day as if nothing significant had happened... but then a single solitary rock came flying silently almost out of nowhere taking me quite by surprise knocking me off my feet and wounding me quite significantly (if [...]

A black man and a white man Step into a room together And ever so carefully Peel off their skin Folding it neatly Over the back of a chair Before taking a seat Directly across the table from one other Staring deeply into the other's soul A blood sample is taken from both men Two vials of the deepest red Placed on the table in front of them Followed shortly by a set of [...]
