Good Things with Brent Lindeque đź“ş

I'm Brent Lindeque (also known as the Good Things Guy) and this is Good Things with Brent Lindeque, a podcast and vidcast dedicated to sharing the stories of South Africans who are doing remarkable things.

Each episode features honest, uplifting conversations with people who are making a real difference... in big ways, small ways and everything in between. These are the stories that deserve to be heard: stories of resilience, kindness, innovation and hope.

This series is all about changing the narrative. Reminding us that there is so much good happening in South Africa. And that sometimes, we just need to turn up the volume on it.
