New episode out! For y’all into LGE and usual South African shenanigans, please make a point to listen to this edition. After the hype of elections, much of what is being discussed here, is going to inform politics at the local - more significantly. Enjoy! :)
We’ve just dropped our bonus episode: Green 🌿 We analyse climate narratives to make sense of what’s being said and why. Our goal is to inform and educate through storytelling, and we hope you love it. Please give it a listen, share and let us know what you think! 🎧👇

It’s my day today, so I’ll take the liberty to be openly conspiratorial. Look at who is talking, and who is silent, about umkhulu Zuma’s hospitalisation. The pattern in the words, the tone and non-verbal cues is different this time. It tells you everything.

Good people, the war is not the sole reason for the maddening costs. Rather than being hoodwinked by a single narrative, do yourself a favour and listen to Pinky and the Brain - an episode by TTBIA in which we explore issues of poor governance in SA too. Don’t get played.

Are y’all still sleeping on @TTBIAMedia? 😏 Come on! Without hype or sensation, we give you the game and the skills to break it down. It’s your choice to stay in the dark. Please listen to Green and tell me that I’m wrong. :) podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… open.spotify.com/episode/3Ts…
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The beauty of podcasting for the people. Well done team. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You are educational, informative and analytical… No noise… Just sound commentary. Best of all, you even make it entertaining. I love producing the show with you. :)
When Gen. Mkhwanazi spoke, we listened, we read the game and we gave you analysis that was not only spot on, but it went beyond our expectations when you think how correct we were about everything that has happened over the last year. We gave your the blueprint so that you can analyse the situation for yourselves. The result? A timeless episode. Check it out for yourself… It’s all there… Julius Malema, News24’s journalism on this issue and the spectacles… That’s why we are the people’s Podcast. 😊. Should we do a part 2 for y’all? 😏 Listen on: • Spotify: spotify.link/f7KoAHtjYXb • Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/…/id1376786767 (podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas…) • YouTube Playlist: youtu.be/QKsORH8kOuM?si=9wpb…

Economic sanctions may still work - it’s just that the Zionists are not fully in control. The usual pressure points are not working.
Could the ceasefire agreed to between the U.S. and Iran be a great indicator of the end of U.S. dominance as argued in a recent FT article? We analyse this viewpoint on our latest episode. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0yv…

At the core is economic strategy… Iran using economics as leverage, no longer as punishment as seen during this war. We analysed an FT article in @TTBIAMedia’s “Pinky & the Brain” (US & Israel) S3E3 on this point. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0yv…
🔺 Breaking News 🔺 🔸Iran submitted a 10-point proposal to end the war via Pakistan. Key demands🔸 👉🏽End of all attacks 👉🏽Full sanctions relief 👉🏽Halt to Zionist strikes 👉🏽Reconstruction support 👉🏽Secure Hormuz shipping 👉🏽Guarantees against future attacks 🔸 In return, Iran would reopen Hormuz (with a ~$2 million per ship fee).

Are matters about to escalate in Iran? How is news media covering it all? You know by now… There’s only one Podcast for this type of topnotch analysis. It’s the best one… We’ve got you covered! 😊 Forget about the noise out here and listen to the people’s podcast.
Trump’s performance is wilder, if it were possible. He’s consistently threatening an entire civilisation, yet it’s business as usual. Do we think about what the people we follow say? Pinky & the Brain (U.S. & Israel) Apple: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0yv…

Is craziness the ‘new normal’ good people? Would like to know what you think after listening to this viewpoint.
War seen through social media is surreal, people scroll past conflict, then jump to “BBL will fix your life’s problems’ just like that. Listen to S3E3 Pinky & the Brain (U.S. & Israel) on how nuclear escalation is being normalised by media, Trump & Netanyahu. Apple & Spotify 👇

I told y’all… THE BEST PODCAST ON CML AND POLITICAL ANALYSIS! We. Get. It. Right. ✊🏿 As the people say: GNU episode… spot on! Police corruption and General Mkhwanazi episode… again,spot on! G20 episode… and again, spot-on! Trump and Netanyahu episode… well, spot on, again!😏
Oh snap! Trump’s dropping F-bombs too! The “new normal” keeps getting wilder… and we told y’all. S3E3: Pinky & the Brain (U.S. & Israel) is out now 🎧 Please listen & share with someone who needs to here this: Apple: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0yv…

🎙️ Yes Kim … that’s true and a critical point made in S3 Ep. 3, 'Pinkie and the Brain (U.S. and Israel)' 🌍 Loads of analysis, great guests and the kind of critical commentary that makes you think about this point Apple: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0yv…
🔺The problem is not Trump Yes, he is terrible BUT The problem is the United States 🔺 The problem is not Netanyahu Yes, he is monstrous BUT The problem is Israel

Nicely done Kim. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You’ve been busy - podcast interview, op-ed writing and publishing a new book. 😊
🔺Slavery is the gravest crime against humanity 🔺 This week I write on the UN declaration which recognises the 'trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity' While it is long overdue, the world has finally named a devastating historical crime whose aftershocks continue to reproduce an unjust global order, unequal power relations, and economic and geopolitical imbalances. This historical declaration undercuts the well-peddled and false narrative of slavery that slavery is part of a distant, forgotten age, rather than an omnipresent feature in today's racial hierarchies of economic extraction and iol.co.za/sunday-tribune/wor…
