[00:00:15] Shireen: My name is Shireen Motara, and I'm a, um, women's coach, a certified coach. And I work only with women and I also run my own consulting practice where I do various types of work around, um, gender and development.
[00:00:33] Candice: So tell me a little bit about how you got into that particular, um, field of work. Um, what kind of led you there? You know, just a little bit of your background.
[00:00:42] Shireen: So I, I studied law at university and I was at the university of the Western Cape. So, and also I come from a family that was already very much involved in the anti-apartheid movement, which is why I went to UWC.
[00:00:59] And, um, at the university I connected with a group of women, um, and we, we called our group Kopanang and it was a women's group. And really the idea was about educating ourselves around women's rights, um, and understanding, you know, how the world is not ready for women or how the world doesn't just embrace women with open arms.
[00:01:24] So understanding the dynamics around that and how to engage with it. And then when I left university, you know, initially I did look at doing articles and so on, but I had a lot of conflicting emotions about representing, for example, an alleged rapist. Um, you know, it just didn't sit well with me to do that kind of thing.
[00:01:47] So I decided, I mean, well, my first job was at customer services, but after that, I was just looking to work in the women's rights sector and so my second job was in the women's rights sector. And I basically haven't looked back since, so even in my own business, you know, that's my focus. Okay.
[00:02:05] Candice: So that leads me to my next question.
[00:02:07] What are you most passionate about in your work and what drives you or motivates you to, to keep doing it?
[00:02:17] Shireen: So, I mean, I say that I, I exist to make the world a better place for women. In a nutshell, that's what I, um, you know, what I'm passionate about.

[00:00:24] Candice: [00:00:24] Thank you so much for all of your help in getting this set up and your patience. I appreciate it. So we'll start off first. If you wouldn't mind, just introducing yourself for my listeners, your name for the record and in what capacity you're speaking to me.
[00:00:35] Gavin: [00:00:35] Oh, well, nice to meet you, Candice. I've seen a couple of your posts on social media and seen your website. It's great work you guys are doing as well.
[00:00:42] My name is Gavin Kennedy. I've founded Solid Gold Podcasts a good few years ago. Funny enough, after driving around in my car one day, I just realised I wasn't listening to the radio anymore. I was just listening to podcasts and, uh, And wondered if this was going to be a thing. So, you know, it was a few years ago, added a studio and started making podcasts and added another one and another one and another one.
[00:01:02] And, uh, we're up to 11 studios now. And yeah, we, we got this amazing podcast, creative hub. It's a space where people engage with the spoken words. In and out of the building, people here to research record scripts, voiceover, audio, books, and podcasts. That's what we're doing.
[00:01:23] Candice: [00:01:23] Tell me what was it that, what was the moment when the podcast bug hit?
[00:01:28] Was there like a particular moment where you fell in love with radio? Or has it always been something that's part of you
[00:01:34] Gavin: [00:01:34] I've been in radio and television about 30 years, uh, we were, we were involved in the very early days when broadcasting was deregulated and SABC sold its stations and there were a whole lot of new applicants.
[00:01:49] Uh, we applied for a license and unfortunately we didn't get it, but we kept the solid gold brand and we did a whole lot of other things along the way. So we did in store radio, we've done all sorts of things. Uh, I was first a podcast listener 15, 16 years ago when podcasting first happened, you know, back then it was really hard.
[00:02:05] You had to find an RSS feed and copy it to iTunes and then synchronise iTunes and then synchronise your iPod with iTunes. So I did that for a little while, a couple of years, and then it just, it's just too much work and gave it up and. Must been nearly 10 years again before came back to podcasting and, uh, came back strong.
[00:02:24] You know, it's, the friction has been removed with the iPhone, making it easy to integrate everything. That's probably the thing that made it all revive. And we got back into it again.
[00:02:36] Candice: [00:02:36] But what was the thing that made you fall in love with the spoken word? You mentioned the spoken word.
[00:02:42] Gavin: [00:02:42] Wow. Uh, it's it's it's a long time ago.
[00:02:45] It's kind of a sequence of things. Yeah, well, very funny story. We were sitting in office one Thursday afternoon, when somebody came in and said, we received a temporary broadcast license for an event. And that was Thursday, but we had to be on air by the Sunday. So between Thursday afternoon in a country that had no...
