Podcast & Chill

Podcast and Chill With MacG was founded in 2018. The first episode of the podcast premiered the same year in July. It’s been three years of interviewing notable names in South African music and culture.

It has not been an easy run for MacG, though. As he recently noted, some celebs have snubbed his invitation to appear on the podcast. Some would not respond to his request via social media while others, like Boity, would give vague answers and ultimately not get back to him.

The little disappointments along the way notwithstanding, MacG has managed to have a sit-down with notable voices in the industry, including Emtee, Big Zulu, Zola 7, and Nasty C.

Notable figures MacG has wanted to get on the podcast but who have failed to honour his invitations include DJ Euphonik, Cassper Nyovest and Boity.

Some of them are tops, for the excellency of their productions as well as their explosive – or rather incisive and revealing – nature. Below are some of MacG top podcasts to date.
