Listen "Ageism"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Maureen and Mashudu dive into the complex layers of Ageism. They open with a provocative question: why is a woman's value so often tied to her youth? The conversation explores stark cultural double standards, from labels like "leftover women" for unmarried women over 30, to celebrated terms like "diamond bachelor" for men. They examine the dangerous consumerism this fuels and the parallel toxic pressure on men to "lock in" and achieve wealth, often with devastating consequences.Shifting the energy, they celebrate Bafana Bafana's qualification for the 2026 World Cup and discuss the implications of their new partnership with Adidas, reflecting on the end of an era with Le Coq Sportif.The episode ends on a visionary note with a lighthearted round of "If I Ruled the World," where the duo shares their one big idea for change.This is a provocative and insightful conversation that moves from critical cultural analysis to hopeful vision.
