About this listen

This podcast opens up cutting-edge research to the world. High-quality academic research drives human progress: shaping policy, sparking innovation, challenging assumptions, deepening our understanding of the world. Yet most stays hidden. When great research doesn’t reach people, we all lose. The Knowledge Hub South Africa brings serious, high-level research to wide audiences in clear, engaging, human language. Researchers explain discoveries, why they matter, and the stories behind the work. No jargon. No dilution. Just excellent scholarship, opened up and made accessible.

    Feb 13 2026

    The two creators of the show Dr Eugene Botha and Prof Ignatius Gous of South Africa discuss the reasons why they felt compelled to create the podcast.

    Every day, researchers in South Africa and worldwide are solving problems that affect millions. They're developing new medical treatments, uncovering historical truths, innovating sustainable technologies, and understanding the complexities of human behavior. Yet their voices rarely reach beyond conference halls and academic journals.

    The Knowledge Hub South Africa gives these pioneering minds a global stage. Through expertly crafted episodes, complex research becomes accessible without losing its rigor.
