SWEET NOTHINGS POD

After both finding themselves back in their hometown, Pretoria, last week, the girls were feeling a little nostalgic - so naturally, this week turned into a proper trip down memory lane. They’re throwing it back to the TV shows, movies, games, snacks and childhood crushes they grew up on, with plenty of listener submissions bringing back things they’d completely forgotten about… The Suite Life of...

Pop star, business girl & bride-to-be — this week, the girls sit down with South African singer-songwriter Lisie Basson for a chat about everything happening both on and off stage. Lisie opens up about finding her feet as an independent artist, balancing music with two other jobs, social media and comparison, and why she walked away from the pressure of a major record label. Plus, the girls get in...

The girls enjoyed discussing the hills their listeners would die on so much that they had to come back for Part 2 - while also nearly dying on a very real hill themselves at the Gun Run. Of course, the local sports commentators had to do a proper race debrief, especially after Armani’s first-ever half marathon! Armani talks through her rather unorthodox race weekend - a night out, a full Saturday...

August went out with a bit of a bang, so the girls catch up on the chaos of the past week and a Springbok-filled weekend. September has arrived, spring is in the air and the girls are more than ready for a fresh start and better vibes. Just your local oversharers and sports commentators reporting for duty. This week’s main agenda: the hills their listeners are willing to die on. The girls work the...

Landi is fresh off the plane and giving our listeners the full Euro debrief - cycling through Amsterdam, slow beach days in Greece, family time, getting stranded on a boat, Greek food (and lots of Greek yoghurt), plus all the travel highs, lows and stories in between.

Landi is living her best summer holiday in Greece, so consider this week’s episode a long voice note from Armani to one of her besties.

Beauty tips and life chats - all together in one...

A little Euro trip excitement kicks off this week’s catch-up before the girls get into the real topic of the week: things worth spending your money on.

Consider this your unofficial guide to all the things prov...

After a proper catch-up on the girls’ wholesome weekends in Stellenbosch and Cape Town - filled with family, friends, movement, Friday night plans, tennis, cycling and making the most of the sunshine - they dive back into their ever-growing Random Thoughts notes. They unpack The Hair Wash Dilemma™, bananas, bikini fears, surprise parties for the groom, and a few more things that have been living r...

The girls are back to their regularly scheduled yapping. After last week’s colour-analysis episode with Jana from Mode Marie, Landi and Armani have two weeks’ worth of everything and nothing to catch up on. This includes The Odyssey (spoiler-free, with some homework - to watch it before next week’s episode ✍🏼), big-girl jobs and salaries, hiking, and an official call for new adventure buddies. Ju...

This week, Landi and Armani are joined by Jana-Marié from Mode Marié to chat about colour analysis and the impact that the right colours can have on how you look and feel. After recently having their own colours analysed, the girls sit down with Jana to unpack the results, ask all the questions they’ve been wondering about, and find out whether black really suits everyone. They also cover universa...

Landi and Armani return with two very different weekend recaps: one takes on the Versus route, while the other heads to the West Coast for a surprise poker party - mostly spent watching sport in formalwear, obviously. The sports chat continues with Springbok rugby, Wimbledon and a FIFA roundup before the girls introduce their mutual best friend and therapist, ChatGPT. They unpack how Chat has work...

The girls are back! Season 2 kicks off with a proper catch-up as Armani takes Landi (and all of you) through her Euro summer - from London and Venice to the Amalfi Coast, with plenty of singing, art and Aperols along the way.

This week we’re stepping into the office and chatting about all things corporate life - from freezing aircons and office characters to the unspoken rules, pet peeves, and the jobs some people take just a little too seriously. We also asked you to send in your funniest, most random and most embarrassing workplace stories, and you definitely delivered. From awkward moments to classic office drama, w...

You’ll never guess what we’re recapping this week… Landi takes us through her Cape Town Marathon weekend - the build-up, the race day energy, the supporter signs, and how it felt to finally run the 42.2km we’ve been talking about for weeks. We also get into a few random thoughts we had saved up - from the oddly humbling experience of buying toilet paper to the colour theory spiral and other little...

Episode 13 is our first official guest episode 👀 This week, we’re joined by Cape Town content creator Chanel Kruger (formerly known as Chanel Cronje 💍) to chat about the girl behind the Instagram - from running, strength training and editing apps to PR packages, phone storage hacks, influencer culture in South Africa, and what actually goes into building a content factory ;) A very sweet episode...

After three weeks apart, Armani and Landi are finally back behind the mic - catching up on Landi’s trip to Mauritius, time at home in Pretoria, one of her best friend’s weddings, and somehow… ending up back on the topics of running and Pilates yet again.

From running long distances to running a pilates studio 🏃🏼‍♀️🤍 It’s just Landi this week for a solo catch-up before being joined by a special guest, Mieke from Roma Pilates. From marathon training, long runs & mindset shifts to building a pilates business from the ground up, the girls chat all things movement, wellness routines & figuring things out as you go.

While Landi is away for a bit, Armani takes over the mic this week and brings in a very special guest - her sister, Cimòn - for some proper sister yaps. They chat about the forbidden words they weren’t allowed to say growing up, random house rules that somehow made perfect sense at the time, and a few chaotic family stories they’ve lived through together. In true Armani & Cimòn fashion, this one i...

It’s back to just the girls this week for a proper catch-up - from rainy weekends, long runs, theatre nights, soup season, and travel prep to everything that’s been keeping life busy lately. They also get into social media: what they share, what they keep private, their thoughts on Strava and Find My Friends, and the creators, aesthetics, and content they keep coming back to.
