[Audio Pod] Degrees, Debt & The Education Reality Check

from Insider Exchange · host Jimmy Moyaha / Simon Brown

This week on Insider Exchange, Jimmy Moyaha talks Mother’s Day gifting while Simon Brown reveals the ultimate loophole for couples: coffee shops. Empty, peaceful, no queues — while everyone else battles packed restaurants and breakfast-in-bed logistics. The guys also quote comedian Ali Siddiq, who argues Father’s Day ranks somewhere below Arbor Day in importance. In Useful Updates, we unpack the collapse of the African Bank deal, tensions between the Governor and the US, failed BRT systems, SAPA’s concerns around chicken imports, DisChem’s new Health Hub concept, growing estate disputes through CSOS, South Africa’s top business school rankings, updates to the PVoC programme, and LIV Golf losing PIF support. In the Deep Dive, we ask a difficult question: is the true cost of education still worth it? Beyond tuition fees, we unpack hidden costs, debt burdens, opportunity costs, and whether the traditional “degree = success” formula still holds in today’s economy. In Make-It-Make-Sense, we follow the money through food trailer impoundments, a TikTok warehouse raid, and claims that Eskom may be making life harder for EV adoption. We close with an Unfiltered Opinion on wrestling speed dating in Brooklyn, New York — a concept so chaotic that Simon can barely process it, while Jimmy struggles to understand how wrestling became a first-date activity.

Ukraine - History in the Making Emil Juhler When I started the conversation series ”Ukraine - History in the Making” I could have never imagined where this journey would lead me. It all started in March 2023 after I got home from an exchange stay in Chile and felt, that I had to do more for Ukraine, than what I did on my social media accounts and on the streets in the spring and summer of 2022. I think most of us remember that initial period after Ruzzia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Speaking from a European/Danish point of view it was a time of big fear, desperation and uncertainty, but also a time of high hopes, energy and big solidarity. In the very first conversation of the show with Veronika Netrebenko, she says the following about the feelings of Ukrainians during the Maidan Revolution: ”We understood we gotta fight for it, and it was something totally different, we felt different, we felt that we need to fight for it”. To a certain degree I believe you can say the same about what happened within the hearts and mi The Money Movement with Jeremy Allaire | Leaders in Blockchain, Crypto, DeFi & Financial Inclusion Circle The global economy is experiencing unprecedented change.
