This week on the podcast we are focusing on Showmax’s new epic fantasy series Blood Psalms. We chat to creator Jahmil X. T. Qhubeka about his inspiration behind the series and his thoughts on African mythology, fantasy and history. We also spoke to Bokang Phelane, who plays the protagonist Princess Zazi about the role, being a strong female character and more.

Blood Psalms: Eleven thousand years ago, in ancient Africa, a young princess battles a world-ending prophecy to navigate her people through ancient curses, long-standing tribal vendettas and the wrath of the gods. Groundbreaking fantasy series.
