Ster-Kinekor and Rampedi Media Network collaborate for a new entertainment experience
Masabata Mkwananzi | Updated 4 hours ago Experience the future of entertainment as Ster-Kinekor teams up with The Rampedi Media Network to transform cinemas into a vibrant stage for live podcasts. Blockbusters out, bold moves in, Ster-Kinekor and The Rampedi Media Network are flipping the script, turning the cinema into a stage for live podcasts and digital magic. This collaboration between cinema giant Ster-Kinekor and the Rampedi Media Network blends digital content creation with live entertainment like never before. Fans will experience a unique big-screen version of 'Seated with Lebo and Thato,' alongside live recordings of popular podcasts, including Thought Digest and AsMajita. It's a one-night-only event that fuses storytelling, real-time interaction, and immersive audio-visuals, bringing some of South Africa's boldest voices straight to the heart of a premier cinema. Speaking to The Star, Thato Rampedi, founder of The Rampedi Media Network, shared that the idea for the live podcast collaboration with Ster-Kinekor had been in the works for several months. He explained that when the Africa Podcast Network proposed partnering with Ster-Kinekor, they recognised it as an unmissable opportunity. 'We were excited about the chance to do something revolutionary, new, and innovative that would allow our audience to connect with us in a unique way,' he said. He added that hosting the event in a cinema was a suggestion they gladly embraced. 'The cinema space will provide an immersive experience for our audience, enhancing how they consume our content. With everything projected onto the screen, it will be an experience of a lifetime.' Rampedi emphasised that this event signals a bold new era for South African digital content, rooted in real people and real stories. 'Creators must push boundaries and bring content to life through live, immersive experiences that truly engage audiences.' Lynne Wylie, Ster-Kinekor's chief marketing officer, echoed this enthusiasm, explaining that repurposing cinema spaces for more than just films is a growing priority. 'Looking at ways to repurpose our cinema space for events other than showing top-rated films is very much on our radar. For this reason, we are very excited about this upcoming collaboration opportunity with House of Rampedi to host an interactive podcast recording with a live audience at one of our premier cinema complexes.' She noted the high demand for tickets and expressed enthusiasm for upcoming events: 'Tickets are already selling fast, and given the positive response, we're eager to host more similar experiences in the near future.' Ster-Kinekor's The Zone in Rosebank will set the stage for a groundbreaking night this Thursday at 18:00, as Rampedi Media Network brings digital storytelling to life in a live podcast experience like no other.
