“I want him to get everything he deserves.” That's what Deon Wiggett, the man behind SA's most talked about podcast, My Only Story, said his wish was for Willem Breytenbach.

In the final episode of season one, Wiggett said he did the podcast for four reasons: justice, activism, art and revenge. Speaking to TimesLIVE two days after the release of that episode, he said he felt he had a responsibility to “expose Breytenbach.”

Referring to the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence in SA, Wiggett said he believed there was an “underreported aspect” to the violence. Wiggett said the podcast had sparked conversations about male rape, allowing debate on what he said were “uneducated questions and answers”.
