Marianne asks questions, takes issue and peels back some of those ordinary layers to reveal the extraordinary lives underneath. She gets them to talk in the First Person. * First Person, a Kagiso Media initiative, is produced by Jayne Morgan.

This is a wonderful, fascinating podcast...love the strange and interesting people it is introducing me to. The presenter is excellent and the production world class.

Excellent podcast

Many people have referred to this podcast as the &#34;Serial of South Africa&#34;. 
I think that comparing it to another podcast is an insult to it as this is possibly one of the most intriguing, original and well-thought out pieces of audio I have experienced in an explicably long time. 
I look forward to all the episodes still to come and trust that it will only grow in following, quality, and originality from here.
