Aphiwe Miya took on Darren Maule's Quick Quiz, hoping to win R1,000. When asked what she planned to do with the money, her answer revealed a deeper struggle. Aphiwe owes R7,722 in outstanding university fees. Without settling this debt, she can't receive her degree in Analytical Chemistry from Mangosuthu University of Technology. Dhamien Munien from KZN Slots stepped up and committed to pay off Aphiwe's outstanding fees in full. If you know someone who has finished their course but can't get their certificate due to outstanding fees? You can help change their life! Visit ecr.co.za, click on The Big Favour tab, and submit a motivation for someone who's completed their tertiary education, but can't graduate due to outstanding fees.

News:Well, here we are again folks with another installment of The Good Man's Radio Show for your pleasure. Big thanks once again to Andrew North for making it possible and Matt G for filling the Audio Library some more. Good news for you all, the show is now only partially blocked on YouTube, fortunately only in Russia/Belarus (they don't know what they're missing). This means that all the newer shows should be available to listen to on YouTube so they should reach a bigger audience at some point. More love to share is a good thing. If anyone can do me a Big Favour and visit the site and start liking and leaving comments, that would be very much appreciated as it seems, the more people visit the more YouTube pushes it on peoples feed and more folks get to be aware of it. Anyway, hope you enjoy the show and thanks to you all for the support and listens so far.

The Irish finance minister is drowning in cash. Booming tax revenues the clearest indicator - much better than GDP - that the economy remains robust.Politics over economics: Charlie McCreevy once said when finance minister, "If I have it, I'll spend it'. It's not what the budgetary watchdog or the central bank would endorse - quite the opposite of course. But if its bad economics, is it good politics? If so, the upcoming budget is going to be something else.Will that budget be quickly followed by an election?The UK, of course, has just had its own election. We discuss the many and varied takeaways. Chris suggests that the UK electing a centrist government after 14 chaotic and crazy years is cause for celebration and could just change the economic narrative, whatever the political fallout. Maybe Liz Truss did us all a favour and has given a salutary lesson to those who would flirt with batshit crazy populism. Maybe even in Ireland.Joe Biden and the Democrats have to change the narrative. Make Kamala Harris president.
