  • The news SA needs!

    Excellent, balanced, informative and not the usual government propaganda that characterizes the mainstream media!

  • Facts not fiction

    It is refreshing to get facts no matter how uncomfortable they may feel - some speakers still talk to their own book, but then again being discerning is part of being an adult😁

  • Great Insight Each Day

    Alex Hogg seems to have the most interesting guests discussing the most entertaining topics.

    I like his selection of guests, who bring a “positive” spin on things and business in SA, which let’s face it, are hard to find in our troubled economy.

    Keep up the good work.
