So Loop Hy Maar, Die Lewe En So

Be who you are and how you are. I skipped a few steps growing up (subconsciously) hoping "coolness" might mask the softy inside. This podcast is about trusting your gut in what feels right, specifically when it comes to something as personal as intimacy.  I hope this helps you. Or your kids. Or someone. I believe it could've helped me if I heard this 20 years ago. ❤️

| seks & 'druk' | Baie gewik en weeg of ek hierdie gaan deel. Een keer opgeneem, méér as een keer teruggeluister. Uiteindelik gemik na vertroue eerder as twyfel. Dink hierdie sou my 20 jaar gelede nogal kon help. Ek hoop dit help iemand iewers nou. *Verskoon seblief die vloekerigheid nader aan die einde.    

*This So Loop Hy Maar-episode is in English   Niel and I (at So Loop Hy Maar) recently shared our social media grievances with each other. Mine was something like: 1. Is human value nowadays perceived in connection to the size of your following? 2. Why do we care? 3. Should we delete the apps and spend more time with our dogs?    Two LEGIT South African TikTok-stars help us navigate the modern landscape.    Full-time TikTokker, Chané Grobler (2.4 million+) was recently nominated for a GLOBAL NICKELODEON AWARD and her boyfriend Roberto de Gouveia (@k1ngbert0) juggles his own million+ following with a more traditional-type job.    Thanks to the lovely people at Starburst Promotions for making this happen and our eternal gratitude to Muse Studios in Johannesburg for another impeccable audio experience!    In an informative discussion with these very nice folks, Chané and Robbie help humanize an intimidating frontier...   WELCOME. 

'Ons maak mekaar moontlik' "Dana Snyman is 'n naam wat ek al 32 jaar hoor opkom" - áltyd met waardering, deernis, humorsin, byna 'n tipe magic. Asof die gedagte aan hom, mense 'n vonkel in die oog bring. (Hy's wel die eerste ou wat sy tekortkominge sal erken.) Toe Pietie in Desember by twee great ouens, Izak en Jan Malherbe, in Hermanus inkyk, stel Jan vir Dana as gas vir ons podcast voor. Dana se menslikheid transcend generasies. Hy's 'n joernalis en skrywer met 'n klomp toekennings en 'n waarnemingsvermoë vir ál die nuanses van menswees. Ons beskrywende woorde vir hom skiet kort. Dana is anderkant woorde. In hierdie gesprek reis ons deur sy lewe en kuier in 'n paar van sy hoofstukke. Mag daar nog MOERSE BAIE wees! 'As jy in aanmerking kom vir nóg bewussyn, sal ek nog wil hê.' Dankie vir jou menswees Dana. Mens voel wraggies met die intrapslag lief vir jou. Dankie Sean Butler vir jou hulp met die klank in die "vuurtorings". Luister na Dana, die mensch, hier. Ps. As jy dit geniet, stuur seblief die link vir '

Geen woorde nodig hier nie - Early B is 'n legend. 

Quinne Brown Huffman - aka Connie can der Lecq in 7de Laan - is getroud, 'n ma, 'n aktrise, doula en skrywer. Ons reis vanaf haar geboorte in Johannesburg, al die pad deur 10 jaar in San Francisco & San Diego, en hoekom hulle uiteindelik teruggekeer het Suid-Afrika toe...   Ons moes jare se stukke in een uur inkry. Ek glo ons het

This podcast has been in the pipeline for some time. Thank you Bronwyn Roets and Peet van Zyl for connecting us to SA's incredible athlete, Akani Simbine. Akani is an Olympian who, together with our powerhouse South African men's 4 x 100m relay team, recently won the World Athletics Relay in remarkable fashion. Akani will soon be competing in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Personally our excitement for the Olympics is peaking way too soon

MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT! GELIEFDES!  Hierdie podcast is nou JOUNE

Wilhelm van der Walt het vir ons 'n foto gestuur, van skrif teen sy dak geplak, net na ons podcast — sien hierdie teks in die middelste deel van dié episode se foto...

"Josef, Dawid en Eva, drie Bybelkarakters - ek het só baie vrae! Ek wil net om 'n tafel met hulle sit en hóór..."   "I get by with a little help from my friends, family and faith."   Greteli Fincham en Marguerite van Eeden is Suid-Afrikaanse aktrises wie my trots maak om deel van hierdie industrie te wees. Nederigheid, humorsin, plaaslike sowel as Netflix produksies, 'n hoofmeisie, side-hustles, onsekerhede, prestasies, geloof en 'n quick-fire round, alles in hierdie podcast.   Persoonlik voel medemenslikheid deesdae vir my soos groter kuns as kreatiwiteit - iets wat almal in kan deel. Hierdie twee talentvolle geeste maak waves in wat hulle doen en maak vriende oor wie hulle is

A few weeks ago, I woke up to the sound of my girlfriend's laughter. She showed me a video that Siya Kolisi posted on Instagram, created by a guy called Kuhle Sonkosi aka Kooks. Anneke and I binged his entire Instagram feed and afterwards, she said, "how can we be friends with Kooks?". So we reached out to him.  This kind-hearted champion is a full-time passionate rugby coach as well as a school teacher, while he makes videos for fun. FUN is getting his good name out there rapidly and his Instagram following has multiplied 7-fold since December... Kooks and I chat life, sport, TikTok, his videos and the future... Even though we live in different provinces, Kooks, you already feel like a friend, bro. My girlfriend's wish might just be coming true ;-) Dearly beloved, check out Kooks's videos and this podcast will be even better ;-) Much love to you all!

Iemand wie mens amper bang is om aan jou meisie voor te stel omdat hy so f&kken awesome is! ⚡

Every @soloophymaar episode has been very special.  Our comeback episode somehow transcends words! We spoke to Claire Reid - an animal communicator & tracker - who connects with animals from all over the world from her home in the UK.  Her record speaks for itself - 98% success rate of bringing missing pets and their owners back together.  She shares EVERYTHING. Claire, thank you for taking us on this incredible journey

Ons is op pad terug... Hier kom AMAZING episodes!

The Kiffness aka David Scott is a musician and a speaker of truth.   His courageous, on-the-pulse musical parodies are skyrocketing in 2020.    With some videos reaching 8 million views to date, his social commentary might be seen as audaciously controversial or wildly entertaining.    Amusing? Offensive? Necessary?  Have a listen to this. Decide for yourself.    We are beyond thrilled to have David on our podcast 'SO LOOP HY MAAR' this week, while he's right in the middle of Clicks and The EFF.    Have a listen to perhaps one of the most authentic speakers of our generation.    David, we just met you and our appreciation of your music and humour has been reinforced with great respect and, if you'd allow our sentiment, love.    David's heart really seems to match his eloquence.    We talk about it all.   Ladies and gentlemen.    Seeker of the golden mean...    David Scott.   Aka The KIFFNESS

Akteur en entrepreneur Armand Aucamp chat met ons oor sy nuwe projek, die Afrikaanse "dating"-app "KOER". Ons gesels oor hoe hy aan die idee gekom het, oor sy span, hoe die app werk en hoe die gewone Afrikaanse persoon vriende, penmaats, pasmaats en geselsmaats reg oor die wêreld kan vind.  Download dit! En geniet die episode!  

Ons eerste minisode! Wel, soortvan. Minisodes is soos 25-30 minute lank. Hierdie is so klein stukkie langer

'n Onbeskryflike gesprek met een van my oudste, heel beste vriende in die heelal...  Ek en die enigmatiese superforce akteur & skrywer, Ludwig Binge, reminisce oor die intimiteit (en soms kompleksiteit) van vriendskap, grootword, skooljare in verskillende jare maar dieselfde skool, universiteit, identiteit, liefde, verwarring, insecurity, die lewe, dood, karongelukke, euphoria, professional envy, pyn, angs, social media, drome, hoop, die toekoms, ouer word, menswees. En alles anders ook!

"Die coolste ou in die Kaap"   Dis min dat iemand ewe kind & cool is...    Daneel Malgas is die shit.   'n Senior Software Developer wat meer verduidelik oor Cloud Computing, Web Developing, Machine Learning, AI and adapting to different race-groups through dialect.    We also ponder whether DAYDREAMING can save the world
