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

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.
