A list of my favourite podcasts

Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by vincenthofmann in Blogs, Lifestyle, Podcasts, Tech, featured, technology

I listen to podcasts to and from work each day. I listen to the same podcasts whilst storming through the malls of Johannesburg. One could say that the podcasts I listen to are my therapist, tutor, news-anchor and go-to-guy for the latest in metal-news. So I thought it only fair to share a few of the podcasts I listen to, with you.

Yip, he is that awesome!

I was recently asked to comment on the Woolworths LoveBirds campaign and in a matter of a few minutes jotted down some notes on the campaign for Bizcommunity.

Ty – Special Kind Of Fool

Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by kojobaffoe in Blogs, Music, featured

For too long, hip hop that originates from outside the US has existed in the shadows, despite the opinion (mine) that a lot of the music that is true to the spirit of hip hop is from everywhere else. A couple of years ago, my brother-in-law started schooling me on UK hip hop and [...]

Urinals and Public Bathing, get rid of them.

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by vincenthofmann in Blogs, featured

Few things scare me as much as urinals. As porcelain objects go they’re by no means scary, however when lodged in a white tiled wall in parallel with one another, I cringe. There’s something disturbing about the gendered ritual of sharing one’s most private moments with other males staring blankly into the wall. Like race horses bound [...]
