The Chi Mhende Episode

Comrades, in a treat that hearkens to the early days of long-form podcasts on 2 Broke Twimbos, we bring you an in-depth discussion with a Zimbabwean doing it big. This week, Dan & Phil sit down with film and theatre actor, Chi Mhende, best known for her roles on Generations and Queen Sono, to have an in-depth conversation on everything from drama, to film, to playing a transgender character and everything in between.
