I felt smarter just by listening to the guy and more connected. I'll really miss his socratic approach provocative when necessary his radical honesty and general humanity and spirit of inclusivity so so sad for his family colleagues and partner especially and a great loss to society as a whole.
Eusebius McKaiser was a name that resonated with many South Africans. Known for his sharp intellect and unyielding quest for truth, his sudden passing at 44 left a void in the hearts of many, including his close friend Janet Gourand.

They explore the rise of alcohol-free drink options and the growing support communities that make living without alcohol not just possible, but enjoyable. They also delve into the liberating aspects of sobriety and how taking a break from alcohol can be transformative.
