  • Mandy Weiner

    Stand-in presenter Ismail introduces guest in such a stressful way that it is not possible to listen what he is say but rather how he is saying it, it’s embarrassing.

  • Segments and full show in single feed

    The one issue I have is that they publish snippets of the show per topic.. and occasionally the entire show or parts that include other parts.

    These repeats annoy me a lot. Guys stick to one strat.. full show or topic based snippets.. but not both in one feed!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ANC study group on police calling for urgent action to restoreintegrity of SAPS
Q: What action would you like to see when it comes to the National Commissioner?
Dikeledi Direko argues for presidential intervention and a considered response that maintains stability within the SAPS and restores public confidence, while acknowledging due process and innocence until proven guilty.
The Midday Report: President Ramaphosa to address the nation at 4PM on the SAPS, SACP briefs the media about the dual membership between the ANC and SACP, Book of the week: Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It's Like To Be Free by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Ania Jastreboff
Q: What is the goal of obesity treatment overall?
The goal is to improve health and manage obesity as a chronic disease, combining biological treatment with lifestyle factors like nutritious eating and physical activity.
Freedom Day: Freedom and the rule of law
Q: Do you think a national dialogue initiated by the president can be effective, or does it risk getting bogged down in politics?
If conducted properly, a national dialogue can be a good starting point to reframe the electoral system and political alignment, but it must avoid being captured by party politics and instead focus on constructive consensus-building.
Freedom Day: Freedom and the rule of law
Q: What role should the political class play in motivating citizens to participate in elections and in revitalizing faith in the democratic project?
The political class must actively energize and mobilize voters, recognizing a systemic failure in producing confidence, and work with communities to build a sense of shared ownership in the future.
Freedom Day: Freedom and the rule of law
Q: How do you view the state of the rule of law 32 years into democracy, given ongoing concerns about trust in the judiciary and the police?
There is a resilience in South Africa to pull ourselves out of the mire, but it requires honest acknowledgement of problems, bold steps, and a civic re-engagement across society to rebuild trust and legitimacy in our institutions.
