Part 1

In this show you get two hours on money, AI scams, the law and some of the strangest stories of the week. The lineup covered the markets, stablecoins, voice-cloning fraud, domestic worker rights and Themba Robin’s latest plans.

ASS kicks off the morning with stories including Sweden’s “Introvert Travel Agency”, the most isolated place on Earth, and seven workplace solvents linked to Parkinson’s disease.

Lloyd Matthews, founder of Untapped AI, returns to explain AI voice fraud and why a scam call can now sound exactly like your bank, your boss or your child. He covers:

How little audio a criminal needs to clone a voice.
His patented “Shazam for scam calls” technology, which recognises AI voices and flags them before anyone loses money.
Why AI agents will soon need to verify each other’s identity.
Why he built sovereign South African AI on local servers, under POPIA.
What every family can do today: set a family safe word, hang up and call back on a saved number, and never share a PIN or OTP with a caller.
