Lucegoose06 ,

Critical, unbiased commentary

Succinct and to the point, covering what South Africans should hear in the news.

Bonganie280 ,

Highly recommended

One of the best shows ever

Kashif.Khan.ZA ,

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!
