Fans react after MacG teases Podcast and Chill Network changes

Social media users flooded the comments with speculation and suggestions.

Here are some of the comments:

@Lesedi61548618 speculated:

“I have a feeling MacG will become a co-host or something because he did mention that he will be stepping down or leaving the pod, and of course, Sol makes a great host, but if he leaves, who can complement Sol like that? Sol and MacG are Yin-Yang; they complement one another.”

@GopolangTabaneM suggested:

“It would be great if you would introduce something for the ladies since PnC is gone. Just where women can unwind, bring their feminism drama, their livelihood challenges and the like. Just to give them a chance. I think it can be good for the network.”

@Johannes_vdBurg said:

“I didn’t want to say it, but Jacinta over-excelled with that feature last Thursday🙈 it had that thing when Sol came for the first time🤭. I hope Ghost Lady still has her job, we still love her 🫶🏻 let’s just hope it's the official announcement of PNC leaving and a new show coming.”

@truthmatterz12 guessed:

“It's Black Studios. If you watched the previous 2 episodes, he even said it to Shots that it is easy to handle 3 cameras. He said it can be done, plus they refer to their team as the A team without the other Black Studios members. So, Black Studios will shoot ‘Piano Pulse’ while they're shooting the regular show.”
