  • 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.

    Anne in Plumstead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why People Believe Misinformation — Even When the Facts Are Clear
Q: Is there any way that one can gently, but firmly challenge a deep truth?
Yes, understanding the reasons behind someone's deep beliefs and engaging in conversation about those beliefs without attacking them with facts can be a more effective approach.
Why People Believe Misinformation — Even When the Facts Are Clear
Q: So why is it that when clear facts and there is such a thing as a fact are presented, misinformation refuses to budge?
Misinformation thrives because deeply held beliefs can resist factual evidence, and emotional narratives play a significant role in these beliefs.
Ancient Red Claw Painting Could Rewrite the Timeline of Human Creativity
Q: What would it mean if the painting is as old as claimed?
If the painting is nearly 68,000 years old, it indicates that modern humans or other archaic species might have had figurative abilities much earlier than previously thought.
Ancient Red Claw Painting Could Rewrite the Timeline of Human Creativity
Q: Are there any issues surrounding the excitement of this find?
Yes, there are issues related to the dating and the implications of who might have created the painting.
Zeekoevlei still closed over water quality concerns
Q: What interim solution is there, considering the importance of Zeekoevlei?
Manus indicates that besides long-term infrastructural changes, smaller high-impact interventions are being explored.
