The Origin Story

Twelve years.
One channel.
The whole story.

What started in 2014 as a platform for retro Zambian music videos grew into Zed Flashback, a documentary archive series, and then into something bigger: long-form conversations with the African creative voices who built the culture.

South African, Zambian, Namibian, pan-African. The guests have expanded. The conversations have deepened. The mission hasn't changed: real talk, on the record.

Our Story

About PodHouse Conversations

On YouTube since 2014. Long-form conversations with Africans shaped by hip hop, culture, ambition and memory. Formerly Zed Flashback.

The channel that became PodHouse Conversations has been on YouTube since 2014. What started as an outlet for culture and commentary gradually found its sharpest focus in conversation: long-form, unscripted, honest exchanges with the people building creative life across Africa.

"Hip hop was the diet. PodHouse is where that lens gets applied to music, money, memory, ambition and the lives people actually build."

The Zed Flashback Era

The channel's first major chapter was Zed Flashback, a documentary interview series committed to putting Zambian music history on the record before it disappeared into memory. Macky2, B-Flow, Bonkoti and dozens more sat down and spoke. That archive, now over 40 episodes, remains one of the most complete oral histories of the Zambian music scene. It lives inside PodHouse as its own permanent collection.

Yung Verbal Joins. The Conversation Deepens.

In 2022, South African hip hop artist Reggie, known as Yung Verbal, came on board as host. His presence changed the register. Guests stopped giving answers and started having conversations. The camera stayed on longer. The questions went further. The energy found a home.

PodHouse Conversations — The Rebrand

In 2024 the channel rebranded as PodHouse Conversations: a pan-African platform for long-form cultural dialogue. Guests now come from Zambia, South Africa, Namibia and beyond. What connects them is a shared world: hip hop culture, creative ambition, the business of building something in Africa and the stories you only get when someone actually sits down.

59 episodes. 20,000+ subscribers. Twelve years of archive. This site is the next step: a proper editorial home for everything PodHouse has built, and everything still coming.
