  • My favourite radio person

    John is smart, witty, hilariously funny and articulate. He is just the very best voice on the radio. His taste in 60/70’s music is spot on.

    He creates such a lekker (Walmart) vibe.

    Love his show.

  • Radio Bully

    John is a bully, he uses his radio experience to bully anyone who calls in to the show, so much so that very few people call in to what is meant to be a “talk show”, Steven Grootes on SAFM always has a long line of callers who he treats with respect although he may not always agree with them, John could learn a lot from him!
