CAST Chats is a new and exciting platform for artists and scholars to find each other and explore their common purpose. An eclectic cast of guests, from comedians to archaeologists to poets, gathers here to reflect on their journeys, share more about their recent endeavors, and provide a collective answer to the question of why the past matters in a complicated place like Southern Africa. Hosted by Dr. Robin K. Crigler, a historian of comedy and culture in South Africa, Season 1 of CAST Chats promises stimulating conversations with some of the region's most dynamic voices at the intersection of comedy, scholarship, and creativity.

    Chatting Village Life, Heritage Entrepreneurship, and Ancestral Inspiration with Suzan Skhosana
    May 1 2025

    In this long-awaited third episode of CAST Chats Season 1, Prof chats to the self-made historian, poet, and arts entrepreneur Suzan Skhosana, who started a second career dedicating herself to exploring and honoring the legacy of her ancestors in Kgabalatsane village, North West. Her ancestor Miga Kgasi was a missionary, educator, and artist of note who has drawn interest as far away as Germany, and Skhosana's story reminds us all of the incredible doors that can open up when we take the stories within our own families and communities seriously.

    In the first episode of CAST Chats Season 1, Prof chats with Chantal Harris: stand-up comedian, arts entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Friendly City Comedy Crew with Nolwazi Nkwandla. She shares her story of coming to comedy later in life, and the lessons she learned building up the stand-up scene in Gqeberha, a gem of a city that's too often overlooked in Mzansi's cultural conversation. We also discuss her one-woman show, "ADHD, the Bottle, and Me", playing at the Mandela Bay Arts Festival through 1 March.
