It's the Easter long weekend, which means one thing for time-poor podcast fans: It's time to catch up.Maybe you have a road trip planned and need to fill a few hours of the journey, or you want some company while you deep-clean your apartment.Whatever you're up to, there should be a podcast below that can keep you invested for a few hours — whether you're a history buff interested in Australia's role in the end of apartheid in South Africa, or an incorrigible gossip who wants the inside scoop on the whole Kyle and Jackie O saga.There's comedy, investigations, personal stories and even grisly tales of murder in the Victorian era Her father, Mavuso, is featured on the podcast.Msimang meets First Nations activists and Australian athletes, politicians, students and trade unionists who used sport, culture, sanctions and — as the name of the podcast suggests — boycotts to isolate South Africa.The global pressure and internal protest would lead to the eventual release of Nelson Mandela from prison and the birth of a multiracial democracy.The podcast — which will appeal to history buffs and sports lovers — is fascinating and well-told through a mix of archival audio and new material, direct from people who were on the ground.It's a story especially relevant as we face global turbulence and reveals how collective struggle and activism can bring about real change.– Mawunyo GbogboEarwolf and Scott AukermanIf you could bet on vague, unquantifiable ideas, I would wager Comedy Bang! Bang! is the most influential podcast not on Time Magazine's 100 Best Podcasts of All Time list
