Freedom versus is a podcast series that uses the value of freedom as a lens through which to examine perennial topics such as religion, identity politics and censorship.

While the show is rooted within a South African context, the discussions are of a universal nature.

This series is hosted by Gwen Ngwenya and Mark Oppenheimer, and brought to you by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.
