BackRoomConvo's

On this episode of backroomconvo’s with Lesego M, I get real about the creative and mental roadblocks that have kept me from releasing content lately—overwhelm, lack of inspiration, and the procrastination that snuck in when I needed to just hit record. I also open up about my radio journey: why I made the switch from Sedibeng FM to VUT FM, and how grateful I am for every opportunity along the way. Plus, we reflect on why we started backroomconvo’s before the likes of Open Chat—and even though they’ve grown bigger now, I share how this podcast actually opened the doors for my radio gigs, not the other way around. A raw, honest catch-up on growth, comparison, and finding your way back to the mic.

This week, we’re diving into the seismic geopolitical shifts happening in the Middle East and the unexpected player changing the game: Ukraine.

First, we break down the aftermath of the US-Israeli strikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Who has taken his place? We explore the rise of Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran. We discuss his long-held power as his father's "gatekeeper," his deep ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) , and what his hardline, anti-Western stance means for the future of the conflict and Iran's nuclear program .

Then, we turn to the battlefield. With the US threatening its "biggest bombing campaign" against Iranian missile infrastructure, we assess the state of the Iran-US war . But the focus shifts to a fascinating new development: the role of Ukrainian technology. Facing a massive economic challenge—using million-dollar missiles to take down cheap Iranian Shahed drones—the US and its allies have turned to Kyiv for a solution .

We discuss how Ukraine, with four years of combat experience against Russian drones, is deploying specialized FPV interceptor drones and technical teams to the Middle East. These low-cost, AI-enhanced killers are designed specifically to hunt Iranian drones . We look at how this technology transfer, which could help Ukraine secure more Patriot missiles in return, is reshaping defense cooperation and proving that the battlefields in Eastern Europe and the Middle East are now inextricably linked .

Tune in for a deep dive on the new leadership in Tehran, the escalation of the war, and the Ukrainian innovation that might just tip the scales.

Dear diary, welcome to Ep.174 of BackroomConvo’s with Lesego M — broadcasting into 2026: a Year of Possibilities and Dreams Answered. In this fresh New Year episode, we plant seeds of courage and intention in the garden of our minds, grateful for life’s blessings — both the sweet harvests and the tough lessons. Because what you plant today becomes the harvest of tomorrow.

In this soulful episode, we reflect on growth, gratitude, and the magic of music — highlighted by a one-of-a-kind conversation with legendary singer-songwriter Babyface (Kenny Edmonds). From his early influences in Indianapolis and shy beginnings as a songwriter, to the unselfish art of writing classic love songs and the revolutionary impact of the drum machine — Babyface shares the stories behind hits that shaped generations.

We dive deep into:

What shaped Babyface’s musical journey from a quiet kid to an emotional storyteller

How Smokey Robinson quietly inspired him

The transformative power of performing

The craft of songwriting and producing with heart

The creation and legacy of “End of the Road”

The enduring evolution of love songs — from Motown to The Weeknd to K-pop

The uniqueness of artistic voice and the wisdom that comes with experience

PLUS, timeless insights on studying deeply, evolving continuously, and separating the performer from the person.

This episode is a celebration of growth, music, and possibility — much like 2026 itself. Sow your thoughts, water your intentions, pull out doubt, and let what you plant bloom into lived reality.

Backroom Convo’s with Lesego M — Episode 173: Monday Movie Review “Power and Wealth |Beauty in Black”

This week’s Monday Movie Review with Lesego M dives into Netflix’s hit series Beauty in Black, where glamour meets greed and empowerment clashes with exploitation. The series peels back the layers of the beauty empire to reveal a world driven by power, ambition, and moral compromise.

Lesego explores how Beauty in Black examines the cultural influence of Black beauty, its appropriation in mainstream spaces, and the ongoing struggles for ownership and representation. Central to the story is Kimmie’s fight for control in an industry built on perfection — and profit.

Despite harsh reviews calling it over-the-top and shallow, Beauty in Black has captivated audiences — debuting as Netflix’s fourth-most-watched show and climbing to #1 globally with 8.7 million views. With half of its viewers identifying as Black, it’s clear the show resonates deeply within its target audience.

Tune in as Lesego M breaks down the brilliance, the flaws, and the cultural firestorm surrounding Beauty in Black — a series where power, wealth, and beauty collide in spectacular fashion.

In episode 172 of BackRoomConvo’s, Lesego M is back behind the mic after a short break — and he’s got a lot to unpack. He kicks things off with a Wednesday Movie Review, diving deep into Tulsa King, the gritty Sylvester Stallone-led crime drama that’s got everyone talking. Lesego breaks down the storytelling, character arcs, and why Tulsa King hits differently compared to your average mob series.

But that’s not all — Lesego also gets personal, opening up about why there’s been a gap between episodes, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and how he’s reshaping the show moving forward. It’s honest, raw, and full of that trademark BackRoom energy.

Tune in for reflections, reviews, and real talk — only on BackRoomConvo’s with Lesego M.

When Cassper Nyovest's expensive gift vanished via Uber Courier, it wasn't just a celebrity complaint—it was a flare gun signaling a breakdown in trust that thousands of South Africans feel. Who is really responsible when a gig economy platform fails? The individual driver, or the multi-billion dollar system that employs them?

In this episode, we dive deep into the viral incident that ruined a gesture and exposed the fragile seams of on-demand services. We're moving beyond the frustration to ask the big questions you’ve been debating in the group chats. Is this the final straw for app-based deliveries? What punishment fits the crime? And does a famous voice get justice faster than yours?

We're opening the backroom conversation to you. Share your own delivery horror stories and your verdict on who's to blame. This is more than a stolen package; it's a trial of the entire gig economy model.

Shifting gears to local entertainment wins, he celebrates MacG and Robot Boy securing roles on the hit series 'Shaka Ilembe'. What does this crossover from podcasting to prestige television mean for the industry?

And finally, he goes global with some hard-hitting film critique. Lesego explains why he believes action star Michael Jai White is capable of far better than his recent movie choices and why a certain Tom Cruise is still, unequivocally, the gold standard—breaking down exactly why the latest Mission: Impossible or Top Gun is just that good.

🌟 In This Unmissable Episode:

1. AMPD Studios Emergency:
Lesego M delivers an urgent, emotional deep dive into the impending closure of AMPD Studios—Johannesburg’s iconic creative hub. After 5+ years of empowering 15,000+ creators with free resources, recording studios, and mentorship, the studio faces a dire cash crisis. A major client deal collapsed, forcing AMPD into a 3–4-month funding gap that threatens its survival. Lesego reveals:

📉 Why Now? The financial domino effect: Rent hikes, sponsor delays, and systemic underfunding of SA arts spaces 611.

⏳ Timeline: Immediate risk of shutting doors by August 2025 without bridge funding or equity investment 612.

💔 Cultural Impact: How losing AMPD would devastate SA’s creative ecosystem—from podcasters to musicians relying on its world-class studios 12.

2. Legendary Podcasts Born at AMPD:

3. Monday Movie Review: "Heads of State" (2025)

🎬 Premise: Rival world leaders (Elba’s stoic UK PM + Cena’s ex-action-star US President) team up to foil a global conspiracy 510.

🔥 Verdict: "A slick, self-aware buddy flick—Elba’s comedic timing dazzles, Cena’s charm disarms, and the chemistry saves this from B-movie tropes. Perfect for a distraction!" – Lesego M 10.

⚖️ Thematic Tie-In: How the film’s "unlikely allies" theme mirrors AMPD’s call for community solidarity.
