  • The Lion of Lindanda - The Story of Harry Wolhuter, told by Harry Wolhuter

    The Lion of Lindanda - The Story of Harry Wolhuter, told by Harry Wolhuter
    Aug 1 2026
    In 1902 a lion dragged Harry Wolhuter into the dark.

    He is the only man known to have killed a lion with a knife - and sixty years later, he told the story himself.

    He was riding home from a long patrol in the Sabi Game Reserve, ahead of his party, on a path he had ridden a hundred times. Two shapes came up out of the grass. He thought they were reedbuck. They were lions.

    The first knocked him from the saddle. The second took him by the right shoulder and began dragging him backwards towards a dry stream bed, and Harry Wolhuter stayed conscious the whole way - long enough to wonder, with an oddly practical calm, whether the lion meant to kill him first or eat him alive.

    His rifle was gone with the horse. His men were miles behind. What he had, if the sheath had held, was a knife.

    This is his own voice telling it. A recording made more than sixty years ago, never broadcast, never published, lost for decades and surfaced only recently. An old man in a quiet room, remembering a night more than a hundred and twenty years before - the dark, the grass, the weight of the animal, and the young nurse who later broke the rules to save his arm when two doctors had given up.

    You can still go and check. The knife is in the Stevenson-Hamilton Museum at Skukuza, small enough to make you stare. The lion's skin lies beside it. Out on the Lindanda path a line of stones paces out the hundred metres he was dragged, and the tree he was pulled beneath - dead these many years - still stands, set upright in concrete, because nobody in the Kruger has ever quite had the heart to let it fall.

  • Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies

    Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies
    Mar 25 2026
    Yesterday (24 March 2026) South Africa held its first-ever parliamentary roundtable on podcasting. The Portfolio Committee on Communications & Digital Technologies sat down with legislators, regulators, global platforms, and industry voices to begin mapping the future of a sector that's quietly become an island of economic excellence.

    We took the full transcript from the YouTube stream, ran it through AI to extract the key positions, the political signals, the presuppositions, and the implications nobody's talking about yet, and then (obviously) turned the whole thing into an AI-generated conversational deep-dive podcast you can listen to on your commute.

    Spoiler: it's not really about regulating podcasters. It's about platforms. And a misinformation bill is already in motion.

    Listen: Because you deserve more than a press release.

  • How did Ai do at creating a podcast? (Jan 2026)

    How did Ai do at creating a podcast? (Jan 2026)
    Jan 13 2026
    It's early 2026 as we write this and Ai has advanced sufficiently that we can start sharing some interesting podcast-related demonstrations.
    For this episode, we directed an Ai Agent (can we call them Aigents yet?) to 'scrape' our website and write a script. We then selected two ai-gen voices to 'perform' the script.
    This is the result...
    Please let us have your thoughts and feedback info@SolidGold.co.za Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Website

    IP 101 with Rademeyer Attorneys
    Feb 26 2025
    In this IP 101 discussion, Jean van Vuuren and Kim Rademeyer explore various aspects of intellectual property, focusing on trademarks, copyright, and their applications in different industries. They begin by addressing the difference between trading names and trademarks, emphasizing that they don't necessarily need to be the same. Jean explains that a trading name is often associated with a holding company, while a trademark is used for specific products or services. They discuss the importance of trademarking both company names and individual product names. The conversation then shifts to the pharmaceutical industry, where Jean elaborates on the differences between original, generic, and clone medications. He explains how patent expiration leads to the creation of generics and how pharmaceutical companies create clones to compete in the market. The discussion touches on the benefits to consumers and the misconceptions surrounding generic medications. Kim and Jean also delve into the topic of copyright, explaining its automatic nature and the challenges in enforcing it. They discuss the importance of copyright notices and the concept of fair use. The conversation then moves to e-commerce and the role of intellectual property in online businesses. Jean highlights the importance of registering trademarks early to prevent issues with competitors. Finally, they discuss the future of AI in conference proceedings, touching on its potential for improving efficiency, accuracy, and engagement in meetings. Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Website

  • Memorability the Brain Skills Podcast with Kirti Ranchod

    Memorability the Brain Skills Podcast with Kirti Ranchod
    Dec 17 2024
    I was 37, already a neurologist for many years, the day my beautiful grandmother forgot how to get home. A home where I spent my happiest childhood days.

    I knew then that I had to do more to help her, now living with Alzheimer's disease, and more for the people I was seeing in my practice, in ways that academic neurology at that stage did not offer.

    There was so much research on what could be done to keep the brain healthy and mentally well. So much research on how to support better brain function, to reduce the risk of illness such as Alzheimer's disease, depression and stroke, but also to get the brain to function better, to learn and to remember, to solve problems and make decisions, to imagine and create different possibilities.

    The brain is incredibly powerful.

    Welcome to Memorability the Brain Skills Podcast where I help you to unlock your brain's potential using practical neuroscience so that you can work through your challenges and make the most of your opportunities.

    Leo's perspective with Leo Love
    Dec 17 2024
    In 1979, the Buggles proclaimed that "video had killed the radio star." Yet decades later, the radio star continues to shine.

    At 11 years old, my dream of becoming a radio host was ignited by hearing the legendary Bonang Matheba on Metro FM. Now, as AI reshapes the media landscape, the resilience of the radio personalities faces never before tests.

    Join me on Leo's perspective as we delve into the enduring allure of radio, the impact of AI on broadcasting, and the future of radio stars in the 21st century, and ask the question - "will the radio stars survive the next 50 years?"

    Tune into Leo's perspective, where tradition meets innovation and the voice of radio adapts to the rhythm of tomorrow. Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Website

    For the transformation of unemployed youth.

    I was 21 years old evangelising around Umtata.

    Some of the people we met were hungry and I thought buying bread and milk would have helped them more at the time.

    This incident deeply bothered me and is connected to the scripture in James 2 verse 26, “Faith without action is dead.”

    This scripture propelled me to seek ways of ensuring people go to bed with a full stomach.

    Welcome to the Kingdom Business Podcast. For the transformation of unemployed youth through the Tsoha Africa Skills Hub’s artisan training, entrepreneurship activities, and events for a prosperous society. Connect on LInkedIn · Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Website
