Uncork and Wine Podcast
A candid Zimbabwean podcast where the host and guests have unfiltered, wine-fueled conversations about relationships, culture, and current events.
A topical Zimbabwean talk show that alternates between two formats: a casual, multi-host roundtable on recent news and social issues, and a one-on-one long-form interview with a public figure. The common thread is a glass of wine and a commitment to discussing topics—from local politics and social media bullying to cultural norms—with candid honesty.
“Its strength lies in its blend of lighthearted, friendly banter with a willingness to directly tackle timely and sometimes controversial Zimbabwean issues, like the performance of the Harare City Council or debates around the Miss Universe Zimbabwe pageant.”
