Missing the podcast, hope you haven’t given up entirely.
Could you recommend a good online South African newspaper. I’ve been trying to keep up with other parts of the world. I don’t want to be one of those self-centered ugly Americans… or at least be a well informed self-centered ugly American.
Thanks
No fear! We’ve had to take a lengthy hiatus due to an array of circumstances, but we’ll be back soon.
I recommend the Mail and Guardian: http://www.mg.co.za. Enjoy!
Thanks!
