The Lioness Episode
For this special episode we are joined by Namibian artist and Doctor - Lioness. In the chat with Dan and Phil we talk about her career, tackling language barriers across Africa, the struggles of breaking out as a Namibian artist and how they echo the same struggles Zimbabwean artists have, her new EP, and more.
This was originally supposed to be a brief interview that would be part of our Thursday podcast, but Lioness was such an amazing guest we felt it should be it's own stand-alone interview.
