The Pitch

This is the final episode of The Pitch! (Boo, sad face). As Zandi heads off to London to be an even more bad-ass journo, the three hosts sit down one last time to talk #BlackLivesMatter, if using robots to kill people is ethical and the most important and life-changing story of the week, Pokemon Go. Thank you to all of our listeners, we've had so much fun doing the show and we hope you had just as much fun listening. K love you baaaiiiiiiiiii

Racists racists everywhere. This week on The Pitch, is it good that racists are being exposed online or is this nothing black people haven't heard before?

This week on The Pitch - Tipping and white tears, was Ntokozo Qwabe making an important political point, or just being a douche-canoe? After the EFF manifesto launch, Zandi asks if ANC is shaking in its boots. And why you should really start paying attention to Bitcoin (well, at least why Lisa thinks you should). So much conflict this week... you better call Becky with the good hair.

This week on The Pitch, Zandi wants to know if #SyrianLivesMatter = #BlackLivesMatter, Simmi asks the ladies if it's true that they have a "Bitch Switch" and Lisa pays tribute to Prince. There is also a lot of laughing and an option to see Simmi's nudes if you listen long enough.

Also, should Riyad Mishion or that guy from the Lays advert be the new head of the cricket committee?

This week on The Pitch, Lisa, Simmi and Zandi take on whether Chris Hani's murderer should be released, if the sports industry is being easy on Maria Sharapova because she's white, and if we should care about Kim K's nude. And yes, they talk about Kanye. Again.
