In this pilot episode of Who is Who? We unpack the social expectations of what it means to be a man or a woman in relationships—exploring how these expectations have shifted over the years. Relationships are no longer based on traditional heterosexual norms and gender roles but instead see the infusion of individualism. People have become more fluid in how they act or expect their partners to act in relationships. Our host, Tumiso Maseng, takes us through this game of dating. She introduces us to Nosipho Hlophe, who tackled the topic of the approach game in dating. Then we hear different views and opinions on dating and what traits people look for in a relationship from different people interviewed by Tatenda Mutungwa. We also hear from Tumiso Maseng, who spoke to people from different age groups about their opinion of traditional gender roles. Closing of the first-ever episode of Who is Who? Is Aphiwe Thamba, who spoke to Princess Sathegke about what it feels like to be a woman who doesn't conform to societal standards. -
Welcome to the Misconceptions podcast's debut episode. The main goal of this podcast is to expose and dispel widespread myths in the culture we live in today. These beliefs may or may not be the consequence of ignorance but rather of a worldview that reinforces a particular misconception and discourages the consideration of opposing viewpoints that would undermine it. The JMS 2 Podcasting group, led by Simphiwe Mhlongo, conducted interviews for today's episode, in which the contributors discussed common misconceptions about relationships. Different backgrounds for these thoughts and beliefs are presented by our presenter, Nthabiseng Mokonyane.
Before we start the show, a big thank you and appreciation to the production team that made this show happen today. May this serve as the beginning of many more wonderful things. -

As well as the features highlighted in the episode mainly a voxpop complied by her tutor group of clichéd definitions art, a discussion between the team themselves about why they wanted and how they wanted to redefine art and an interview with an anonymous student about how art can be political in nature. The episode is a starting point to compare and contrast different views on art and how it can sometimes be used in ways that doesn’t uplift humanity.
