I love Wild About Whisky in Dullstroom . Have lost plenty of half days challenging Eve, Steve or Dave to take me on weird and wonderful whisky tours. From what I understand, they also have the second largest collection of whisky (and whiskey?) in the world. Very much worth a stop if you're ever in the area.

After a series of failed recordings, a one-week holiday that entailed a 7-day 700km cycle trip from Johannesburg to Kosi Bay and a Skype call gone bad, Brett Haggard finally gets it together and puts out a new episode. He’s joined by Andy Hadfield and Adam Oxford for a bumper show, all about: The African (and Kenya-specific) startup/tech scene; Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge and Gear S; Sony’s Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact, Smart Watch 3 and SmartBand; Apple’s iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Watch; Apple Pay and what some of the local players think; Mojang getting bought by Microsoft (and Notch’s departure); The Android One programme and why we think it’s cool; and Intel’s Edison and Galileo. Our technology picks of the week are: Adam picks the Asus TF303CL (he’s just bought one); Andy picks: Mention (a mention tracker on the web and in the iOS app store), and the Time Magazine story about ‘Last of Us’ being through the eye of a War Photographer ; and Brett pick
