Mike Sharman, Chief Creative Officer at Retroviral, joins Betty and Veronica in studio today for another “man’s opinion” segment.

Ep 30: Change, Choice and Chief Country Officers
A lot of the language emerging from the Trump administration revolves around actions being taking to "make things profitable" but, when it comes to running a country, is that what really matters? Is running a business and running a country the same thing? Reggie, with decades of experience in the private and public sector, joins Betty and Veronica in studio to discuss.

Zohran Mamdani, New York City's newest mayor and outsize political influencer globally, has just been sworn in at 34 years old. He brings with him polarizing perspectives and a social agenda that is pushing many buttons (and boundaries). But is this more reflective of what the youth really want and need? Has the time come for us to age-gate our leadership - in business and politics?

EP 20: Oratory, Old Boys and Open Family Feuds
This week, Betty struggles to make sense of Trump's Board of Peace, while Veronica asks where the Palestinians are at in deciding what will become of Gaza.

Listen in and tell us who’s right.

EP 17: Maduro, Money and Making Gay Great Again
In this first episode of the new season of NotJustOneThing, Betty and Veronica take on their old favourite - feminism. Is there still a place for it in 2026 and do you have to be a working woman to be a feminist? They (ragingly) debate the relationship between equality and personal agency and challenge the notion that money sits at the root of it all.
Life's too short not to have an opinion.
Welcome to NotJustOneThing, a weekly podcast with a light touch on hard news and current events. Join us as we navigate a world gone mad from very different points of view. Exploring everything from the controversial to the benign, from the ridiculous to the sublime, this podcast is the fly you've always wanted to be on the wall.
Hosted by Betty and Veronica, two 40-something South Africans with firm opinions on pretty much everything (except porn), the pod is a volley of differing viewpoints that'll give its listeners a front row seat to thoughtful - and sometimes not so thoughtful - debates around everything. And we mean everything!
Whether you're a man wanting to understand women (warning: this Pod will leave you even more confused), or a woman wanting to know she's not alone with the overwhelm (warning: she isn't!), this pod provides a platform for honest, unfiltered opinions - including yours!
Listen in to be informed, to feel validated or to rage with or against us.
New episodes every Wednesday
