Unapologetic: Free Speech and the Media Revolution | Gareth Cliff | TPP#81

from The Pioneer Podcast · host The Pioneer Initiative

In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, I sit down with veteran broadcaster Gareth Cliff — from 5FM success and 11 seasons on Idols to founding CliffCentral. Gareth explains why he left mainstream radio for independent digital media, how he fought (and won) a landmark legal battle over a cancel-culture controversy, and why he’s lost faith in South Africa’s political leadership. We also discuss the decay of legacy media and free speech in the podcast era.
