About TAEP.
The story behind South Africa's most fearless faith podcast.
Our Story
What is The Aries Entertainment Podcast?
The Aries Entertainment Podcast was born in 2020 from a simple question: why are we not allowed to ask the hard questions about faith? In a world where religion is treated as untouchable, TAEP chose the opposite direction. We go deep into the Bible, its history, the origins of Christianity, and how religion intersects with modern society, culture, and politics.
What started as a small YouTube series has grown into one of South Africa's leading faith and spirituality podcasts. With over 558,000 subscribers on YouTube and a growing community across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, TAEP has become the go to platform for conversations your pastor will not have.
We have sat down with IUIC officers who challenge everything mainstream Christianity teaches. We have had guests like Pieter Kriel debating race, religion, and South Africa's future. We have explored topics from the true race of Jesus to why the modern church has gone soft. Every episode is unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetic.
Whether you are a believer questioning what you have been taught, an atheist looking for honest dialogue, or someone who just wants the truth without the sugar coating, TAEP is your home.
