Business And Arts South Africa BASA Podcast

BASA Podcast

In 2020, BASA proudly launched an additional platform from which to engage, excite and incite our members, Board of Directors, artists, partners and friends. BASA’s podcast series was initially introduced as part of the BASA Awards programme but has extended to encapsulate all discussions and debates in which we participate. It’s also another way we can honour and recognise the diverse and imaginative relationships forged between business and creative partners collaborating on innovative projects, unique events and other outstanding initiatives.
Hosted and facilitated Samm Marshall and friends, we are excited to continue the conversation on this digital stage.
