Cape Town – Podcast and Chill co-host and radio presenter, Sol Phenduka, has taken to social media to reflect on the impact the podcast has had on its audience, guests, and the industry.

Sol expressed his opinion, as the podcast celebrated 100 million views on YouTube.

He looked at artists whose lives changed after appearing on the show, and expressed his relief that the podcast was able to conquer when tweeps called for it to be cancelled due to its often controversial topics and guests.

“Imagine if the podcast had been successfully cancelled. Imagine! Zola’s story wouldn’t have been told, Dr Malinga wouldn’t be getting help — lives wouldn’t have been changed. The entire Podcast and Chill team. Lives are changed. So many chillers out there. Lives changed and saved,” Sol wrote on his Twitter timeline.

Dr Malinga, who opened up about his financial woes while on the show, has in recent days been sharing how his life changed since appearing on the show.

The singer shared details about his more than R2 million debt with Sars that led to the repossession and auction of his furniture and recalled how no one helped him.

Since being on the show, fans and celebrities have offered to help the star while Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, popularly known as Makhadzi has booked him for her one-woman show.

Yizo Yizo actor, Innocent Masuku, who talked about his drug addiction and how it ruined his career in the entertainment industry, shared Sol’s sentiments and commented:

“Even my story too, my brother … Believe me when I say a lot has changed after my interview. Podcast with MacG gave me life, brother,” he said.

“I will forever says thanks a lot to ProHeed, Bra T and Mom Zodwa Zwane for making it possible. Keep on changing lives.”
