Much of this can be attributed to its flagship podcast Podcast and Chill with MacG, Sol Phenduka, and Ghost Lady. However, in the past two years, MacG has attempted to grow the network by introducing a number of supporting podcasts which are uploaded through the main channel.
As such, the first new podcast of 2023 has been confirmed, and it is bringing friends of the podcast into the network with their own podcast.
Mpho Popps and Robot Boii join the Podcast and Chill Network
Robot Boii was also touted as a friend of the podcast, but he had never appeared on the podcast. Mainly, this was attributed to the controversial nature of the podcast, and considering that he was still new in the game, the negative publicity might have had irreversible damage to his fledgling career.
However, in December 2022, he made his debut on the podcast as he and Mpho Popps were the hosts of the comical year-round up the episode with its own unique title Popcorn and Cheese. The episode currently has over 547k viewers. A fact which might have led to the decision to revive the episode as a podcast of its own.

Taking to their respective social media accounts, Mpho Popps and Robot Boii confirmed the return of Popcorn and Chill. While it seems that the two will also be sharing a round-up of the week’s topical stories, their podcast will have a twist as they will be telling the current news events with a comical take on the various topics.
This is shared by the intro of the upcoming podcast, which will publish new episodes every Wednesday.
Mpho Popps and Robot Boii launching Popcorn and Cheese is all part of the countdown to the upcoming one million celebration for the podcast. As reported at the time:
