The DStv Content Creator Awards, in Association with Samsung Galaxy, has launched its very own podcast, Thumb Stopper. As the premium platform that celebrates all things content creation, the podcast is a natural extension of the Awards’ growing reach and popularity.

The Thumb Stopper Podcast aims to give fans candid, intimate and behind-the-scenes access to some of their favourite content creators and influencers across South Africa.

In the first episodes, listeners will get to meet Manuela Dias de Deus, founder and CEO of the Awards; award winners Lemii LoCo and Doctor Siya; rapper and TV presenter, Nomuzi ‘Moozlie’ Mabena; award nominees Zethu Gqola and Tadéus; and talented creators like Yuzriq Meyer. 

New episodes drop on Wednesdays at 6pm on the Awards’ YouTube, Facebook and Spotify channels.

The entertaining and engaging podcast is hosted by #DStvCCA nominee, Omar Morto, who has been involved in the awards since its inception in 2022.

“I’ve been a content creator for three years, and with my time in the eco-system I’ve learned that every creator approaches what they do in very different ways because none of us are the same.  I get to sit down with amazing people from all walks of life; those whom you know from your timelines, and most importantly, those who are beginning to pop up.” 

comments Omar

Kwazi Ngubane from One-eyed Jack produces the podcast, and he has a keen interest in telling great stories.

“It’s been a lot of fun putting together the first season. Having candid, intimate chats with some of the country’s biggest names, and getting behind-the-scenes access to these amazing people has been extraordinary. We can’t wait to wrap up season 1 and start planning season 2 next year,”.
