What happens when two passionate teachers go viral on TikTok for all the right reasons? You get a podcast episode that’s equal parts heartwarming, hilarious and incredibly inspiring.
Johannesburg, South Africa (25 June 2025) – This week’s “Good Things with Brent Lindeque” is full of heart, humour and a little bit of TikTok sparkle. Because we’re sitting down with two absolute legends in education, Mrs Bullock and Riaan du Rand, and if their names sound familiar, it’s because they’ve probably already made you smile online.
They’re the kind of educators who bring classrooms to life, care deeply about their learners and just so happen to be TikTok sensations too.
You might remember Mrs Bullock from 2022, when she danced her way into South Africa’s hearts and onto millions of screens with a video showing her dance moves.
And Riaan du Rand, the voice behind the viral “Dear Parents” and “Dear Teachers” series, that’s been making the rounds on social media, tackling real issues in the most relatable way.
In this candid conversation, we unpack everything from the highs and heartbreaks of education to mental health in the classroom and how sharing their truth online has become a surprising force for good. Oh, and also “that” Diddy moment that landed Riaan in the Rolling Stone… we get into that too.
Is Mrs Bullock still teaching? Does Riaan have a plan to take his social media fame forward? Well, you’re going to have to tune in to find out.
Catch the episode wherever you get your podcasts, and get ready to smile.
