The Easter GCS Takeover: Part 2
Easter Monday 2020 will always be remembered as one for the ages. Is there still room for tradition in the 21st century? Eggs or hot cross buns, which human are you? Pickled fish is apparently a treat, who knew? Are South Africans by nature friendlier than everyone on Earth? Dori details an emotional lockdown shopping story. We're joined by special guests - the award-winning comedian Angel Campey(1:07), and the man who is a craftsman with 'theatre of the mind', Spike Ballantine. Oh, apparently people are doing puzzles online together... what a time to be alive!

The Easter GCS Takeover: Part 1
Robert Downey Jr's greatness and the declining number of cucumbers are the things everyone should be focusing on as the lockdown is extended for 2 weeks in South Africa. What is it like shopping for a fussy parent during these frustrating times? Football in Portugal is just a different kettle of fish, and we have to deal with that. Which of the three Sheen men is the best actor? There's a reason magicians don't let the common man look behind the curtain, 'Apocalypse Now' has a behind the scenes documentary and let's just say... not great for the magic of the fourth wall.

Discussing Depression
As many as one in six South Africans suffer from anxiety, depression or other types of mental illnesses, and often people who go undiagnosed and untreated resort to extremes, like suicide. We speak to Neo Fabulous from Safe Space and Neo Selebano from EmaLenna, about their NGOs which focus on creating awareness around mental illnesses in South Africa. From the unequipped mental health facilities available, to the impact of social media and the detrimental effect it can have on mental health, and the stigmas surrounding mental health in the black community - these women share their personal experiences on dealing with mental illness and the impact they hope to have through their NGOs.
