It is a free download that can be heard on any device that plays MP3s and features interviews from interesting South African creatives and offbeat entrepreneurs.

The first episode is presented by comedienne Mel Jones and interviews include:

  • Seth Rotherham from 2oceansvibe.com (one of South Africa's leading blogs)
  • Thierry Cassuto from satirical news show ZA News
  • Brad Armitage one of the co-founders of Vide e Caffe and now & Union beer salon
  • Kings of Vegas a rock band who also perform an acoustic version of one of their new tracks.

“Digital devices such as iPods are now mainstream and used by many kulula fans on the move. As we saw an increasing amount of white earphones dangling from the ears of our flyers, we thought a podcast would make a great way to provide some additional entertainment during our flights. Our approach has been to talk to inspirational locals that have unique and sometimes quirky ideas about life and work in South Africa. The podcast can be listened to as onboard entertainment but there is nothing to stop those interested listening elsewhere,” said Nadine Damen, marketing manager for kulula.

The podcast joins the new onboard magazine called khuluma in providing entertaining editorial content for travellers with kulula and can be downloaded from www.kulula.com.
