After more than 12 years in podcasting, Brent Lindeque has built a trusted platform dedicated to amplifying positive South African stories that inspire connection, heart and hope. Over the past year, the podcast has grown substantially, driven by its expansion into a visual format across major social media platforms in 2025. The move has brought a new depth to conversations, allowing audiences to engage more meaningfully with the people and stories behind the headlines, says the podcast.
"Podcasting has been an incredible journey of learning, evolving and finding new ways to connect," says Lindeque. "Adding video was one of the best decisions we've made because it made the conversations feel more human. Partnering with BetterBond feels like a natural next step. It's about aligning with a brand that values meaningful conversations, real stories and creating something of genuine value for people who tune in each week."
The partnership brings together two brands with a shared belief in progress and impact. As South Africa's leading home loan specialists, BetterBond helps thousands of South Africans move closer to the dream of homeownership, a milestone that represents stability, security and long-term wellbeing, adds the podcast.
"Partnering with the Good Things with Brent Lindeque podcast allows us to combine the power of positive storytelling with real-world impact," says Colette Van Dyk, Chief Marketing Officer, BetterHome Group. "Together, we're celebrating good news while supporting South Africans on their journey toward owning a home."
Good Things with Brent Lindeque is built on the belief that while challenges exist, there is also an extraordinary amount of good happening every day. Each episode features honest, uplifting conversations with South Africans who are making a difference, from everyday heroes and community leaders to innovators and changemakers. The stories are authentic, accessible and deeply human, offering listeners and viewers a refreshing counterpoint to negative news cycles, says the podcast.
The podcast's visual expansion has enabled these stories to reach new audiences, particularly younger viewers who consume content across multiple platforms. With strong engagement and a growing digital following, the show continues to gain momentum as a trusted source of meaningful, positive storytelling, adds the podcast.
The podcast has already welcomed a diverse line-up of inspiring South African voices. Guests to date include Elana Afrika, who shared heartfelt and practical parenting insights; Suzelle DIY, who brought her trademark humour and relatability to the studio; and Professor Jerome Loveland, whose powerful perspective left listeners deeply inspired, says the podcast.
Entrepreneur Robbie Brozin, Co-Founder of Nando's, reflected on leadership, resilience and hope for Johannesburg, while innovators Marvel and Malunghelo shared their remarkable journey from starting with just R700 and a second-hand computer to securing R1-million in funding to build one of South Africa's newest education apps, adds the podcast.
The podcast's influence has also been recognised within the industry. In 2025, Good Things with Brent Lindeque ranked number two in the Top 20 South Africa Storytelling Podcasts, and number eight in the Top 100 South Africa Podcasts to Listen to, reinforcing its position as one of the country's leading audio and video platforms, concludes the podcast.
