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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Protest against the coronation of Igbo king in the EC

Q: Athol, good afternoon to you. Thank you for your time and agreeing to come on. What exactly is the concern? What is the issue?

The concern is that a foreign kingdom is being established within South Africa, which is seen as provocative and undermines sovereignty; there is fear of large-scale Nigerian settlement and a separate homeland, which would contravene constitutional principles and provoke xenophobic tensions.

Court dismisses bid to declare NDPP appointment unlawful

Q: What is your reaction to the court's decision?

The guest states that the judgment needs careful analysis to understand its implications for precedent and potential departure from established constitutional principles, and notes that the decision could be appealed.

The impact of the fuel price on the taxi industry

Q: Will there be fare reductions if fuel prices drop?

Yes, the expectation is that, once conditions stabilize and if increases occurred, there would be room to decrease fares, though the process is cautious given unique current circumstances.

The impact of the fuel price on the taxi industry

Q: What decisions has Santaco requested taxi associations to take regarding fares in light of fuel price increases?

Santaco wants associations to review profit margins and consider fare increases cautiously, ensuring that any changes don't push commuters away, while also seeking government relief such as a possible fuel levy adjustment.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have legally challenged 2025/2026 fuel levy increases

Q: What would be the practical implications if the court rules in your favor?

Rulings could require reversing previous levy increases, create complexities for retrospective reforms, and force a broader discussion of taxation in Parliament to avoid negative impacts on consumers and the economy.
