Is it too late to change careers? I'm an architect and Shaka ILembe show inspired me

[@ellishaindobo1794]

Mac, Sol and Ghosty... Please understand that these Thursday interviews are bigger than the views-right now. Time will tell. These episodes will basically be history/reference for future kids, film makers, authors.... etc.

[@StarTown7634]

Well said

[@thukela_jaji]

Very well said ❤

[@Mr.ExtrodinThinks]

Agreed

[@lebogangsetlhaba7391]

True, cause they are not doing bad numbers. Cause the numbers are better than some artist songs and music videos streams 🥹🥴

[@mabhodlelajj1195]

True, these episodes are so informative..

[@MJRamzy]

The fact that Angus doesn’t really do social media is the reason why he’s shows are good he doesn’t cast based on social media numbers. I think that’s the key

[@lungajelwana4898]

Truest form of art

[@maraka8106]

You made a good point

[@Eddymaf]

But on shaka ilembe on reserach he was way of.I think he must not do films like this on isibaya yes yizo yizo on historical stuff he must not get involved. and other shows.

[@MJRamzy]

@@Eddymaf Maybe research wise he was off I don’t know but more comment was more towards his casting not really whether he was accurate in terms of the story line

[@Eddymaf]

@MJRamzy Casting he is on point.But people don't know the difference they assume it's the trueth

[@kgomotsomfisa7038]

I beg you, gentlemen, to leave Thursday episodes alone. For some of us, Thursday episodes were the reason we discovered the podcast. Tuesdays are your chance to go live if you'd like. Continue recording the stories of the guests, without chasing for views.

[@jnr4166]

I agree. It's like saying (The minority doesn't matter).

[@afterhoursworld]

I second this.

[@charlesblessingmbetse5664]

Yes

[@wdfwdf-ve5ci]

Yebo we move@@charlesblessingmbetse5664

[@shalombooi2923]

Couldn't have phrased it better. I know that numbers are part of the game but the heritage of such stories should precede the numbers. There is much more we have learnt in these stories than the other media forms. For instance who knew before this episode that Angus and Co don't own Yizo. Lets Mize views for a moment and let the stories be told, this is the only place where we are guaranteed such stories. Please do not take them away from us champions.🎉

[@thandekilesikhakhane1275]

I enjoyed this interview. Not your typical celebrity interview. No scandals to address. He's not trying to trend or promote a show. It was a genuine interview about his work. I'm certain for some kid who's in the film industry and Angus is his idol, this interview feels like candy to him. Again great episode. Loved it!

[@oscarrikhotso2985]

"This is one of the best, when guests are not chasing fame they tend to be simple and genuine, not these fake personalities like bo Magashule. Good work" just said this before i read your comment.

[@semikazim4141]

I agree, he is a pure artist that's never stopped working. While presenting the best productions South Africa will ever see, the man is a true national icon. 🙏🏾🇿🇦

[@mpumimdluli5894]

I'm fascinated at how this man knows each and every actor and actress by their original names and pronounce them very well. This tells you that he really knows these people not just working with them

[@legendaryme253]

We don't care about numbers. We're here for the interview and knowledge dropped on here 😅😅

FACTSSSSSS

[@royalflorah_M]

Us chillers we are here for such episodes as they are educational. We love them

[@taasolesela3157]

The Monday episodes get the most views because they mostly deal with current affairs, and the Chillers are interested in hearing your perspective on those current affairs. The Thursday episodes are special in that they document a persons/celebrity life through their own words unfiltered. They are slow-burners that in the long run will eventually overtake their corresponding Monday episode in views. Don't do away with celebrity interviews, just take it as a long-term investment. We need guys like ANGUS GIBSON who people aren't necessarily familiar with, but have done so much to document Black South African history to tell their story. And nobody with a Podcast can conduct an interview like MacG!

[@Sekhukhune1121]

My words exactly 🎉❤. Imagine after some years later we come band remind ourselves we had people like these in our country, as you mentioned is long term investment, monday episodes will trend now but there's no history in it... SOL AND MACG must think twice about this celebrity interviews 😊

[@nobantuzaca5059]

These Thursday episodes are a gem. I hope the team read the comments and realise what they are documenting, HISTORY! The same way one can only rent/buy Archive Footage from the SABC for documentary pursposes, they can do the same in the future. Just a thought

[@salutembambo9798]

These are the type of celebrity interviews that we look forward too 🤗🤗

​ You on the channel for wrong reasons bro. Controversy isn't sustainable. Podcasts and chill have done their part in causing controversy. Hence they have produced all the other podcasts. When I started watching the podcast I was in my early 20s now I'm in my late 20s. Not to be selfish but I would say most of the viewers are the same as me we have outgrown the controversy stage

[@justmashadi]

MacG I’m afraid you were absolutely wrong about this interview. Such a stellar job, such an incredible story. Forget the numbers and focus on the stories. You are building a South African archive that will live beyond your years❤

[@ItsAshiqa]

I watched Shaka with my American husband and he absolutely loved it! It definitely should be released for the global audience I think it would do amazingly well.

[@swooshots3039]

Angus Gibson will go down as the best to ever do it, most of his productions gave us actors and celebrities we know today the likes of Zola 7, GP MaOrange come from there. May he get his flowers while he’s still alive, he changed many lives.

[@popslibra6885]

This episode was and is the pure exact answer why the family meeting meant we should keep such gems ... not all about the numbers .... We appreciate this Bra!!!!

[@thuboymathe2025]

There is nothing wrong with these interviews. Interviews are interviews, they won't have the same vibe as you chilling with Sol. I believe that "chillers" understand that.🙂

[@kamoheloskosana1965]

As someone who is a Film and Television Grad....I appreciate this episode.

[@nkosinathmzulu]

I like the way this guy always remained behind the scenes

[@lungamthembu5815]

He actually has played in few productions including Unmarried season 2 (south Africa) as an obsessed psycholopath bf of 1 of the lead ladies.

​@@lungamthembu5815but a lot of people didn't know him. This is my first time putting the face to the name also

Im still in awe of Yizo Yizo. Angus keeps it real and he's honest with his answers. Wish Tebogo was still alive for an interview too

[@DAVICBEATS]

This is one of the best episode ever ,He is a LEGEND.

[@drbella3524]

There’s no way MacG can kill this segment. This is a beautiful story and wish more of us were invested in our history like this man. I legit want someone to write a story about amaHlubi. This for me is my favorite interview. No podcast can ever top this Mac.

[@zandyblackxleaf6035]

This was for chillers who are aspiring film makers, writers and who love the gems that Angus directed. Thank you Podcast and chill.❤

[@ellishaindobo1794]

What this man did with Shaka iLembe was the stuff of Hollywood.

[@benjaminfreedom8588]

As an upcoming South African Film Director myself, Angus has always been one of my biggest inspirations. Thank you so much for giving him a platform to show his personal side, he is such a wholesome person. Danko!.

[@sandilethanjekwayo3507]

I enjoyed how this interview went , I love the fact that he knows everyone he works with, he even mentioned age. this guy knows Soweto like the back of his hand.......the knowledge he has is crazy and I assumed and thought this would be boring but OOOH BOY WAS I WRONG

[@Dzhambila]

MacG must stop his obsession with numbers. This interviews are a huge investment, they will always be relevant for many years to come. Whereas monday episodes cannot be watched in future because they are mostly about current affairs which may not be relevant in future.

[@vhuliem2809]

💯

[@xolanitshabalala3363]

Thank you Mr Gibson for such inspiring stories.

[@leeuwkgosing145]

this episode didnt feel like an interview, it felt like a chat among buddies. I loved how it flowed. Keep up a good work gents.

This is top 5 of my favourite MacG episodes😮🔥🔥🔥

[@salutembambo9798]

i have watched it twice cabanga 🤣🙈🤩

[@fidelmanabe393]

I understand the numbers are not doing the things but these Thursday Interviews are more knowledgeable and informative so plz dont stop them and we are busy documenting our south african history ..Our kids and grand kids gonna come to this channel and get to know our celebrities and get inspired

[@edgarclock7840]

This was one of the best episodes ever. If you're a filmmaker or are generally interested in how Television works, one needs to watch this. I didn't like the question Mac asked on Monday about the Thursday episodes, as much as everything now is being commercialized and it's a numbers game, Thursday episodes are a hub of knowledge and experience from great people like Angus Gibson and we learn alot . Podcast and Chill takes us away from thinking about our problems, I've always loved how mostly Thursday episodes would make learning fun.

[@oscarrikhotso2985]

This is one of the best, when guests are not chasing fame they tend to be simple and genuine, not these fake personalities like bo Magashule. Good work

[@scarysaintmanad]

The wisdom Angus carries is just and his storytelling ability is just unfathomable

[@doctorfreezy2654]

The numbers are the numbers bru, the difference in having people like Angus Gibson is that this interview will be more important in the long run than whichever popular personality that gets 1m views in a week right now... This is a classic...keep these coming...

[@SONIQ63]

Man MacG the growth I am seeing in you 🎉🎉 I love it my little bro Sol you took this interview a par higher❤❤❤❤

[@buyanifakudze3489]

Gosh Mac was amazing.... He's just flowing. Like watching Zinedine Zidane in his final years when he had nothing to prove.....just enjoying himself

[@Luzuko_Tato]

Mr Gibson made stars out of his production. We hardly celebrate such people, who made (past and present) a huge impact in our lives through television.

[@whodunni123]

This episode is cerebral and academic in the film industry sense. It won’t trend because there is no scandals. That’s SouthA for you. Keep going Podcast and Chill. Well done.

I do think I might be naive But I'm happier when I see both Sol Phenduka and MacG sitting together ❤️

[@dmd5060]

I don’t think naive is the word in this instance …perhaps a phrasing like “ not to be inflexible/inconsiderate /difficult but I’m happier when I see both Sol Phenduka and MacG sitting together” would convey your message better…

[@Elimthende]

What Mac doesn't realise is that he is preserving the stories of all the guests that he interviews. This for me, is grounds enough for the interviews to carry on. The Network is giving us an experience like no other, introducing the human element of the guests to all of us who may never have the opportunity to interact with the guests. Siyabonga bafethu.

[@koketsowayne3764]

I wish someone could make a series about Batswana people especially on the angle of Lucas Mangope. The genius behind the man and the vision he had. The man built first African casinos. Built factories across North West. He had altications with Queen Elizabeth over the land. He fought the Boers. The establishment of a strong economy. The siege of Bophuthatswana and more. The history is rich and nobody is touching or documenting that history.
