S02 Ep19: Whats Your Poison with Jon Savage and J'Something of Mi Casa.

J’ Something is like the American dream but for South Africans. He’s got a pure heart, a wide open soul, is crazy (annoyingly) talent, is incredibly successful and is clearly not an asshole. WTF???? ?

Check out this conversation about his amazing life story, his view on life, his passion for music and being a father and a husband and his incredible friendship with Hugh Masekela. Also check out the impromptu song-writing session in the middle if you want to be depressed for the rest of your life.
