Ever wondered what it’s like to tackle a 97-kilometer cycling event with almost no training? Taste Champagne, the weekend host of 947, did exactly that at the recent Ride Joburg. In this candid and hilarious confession, Taste reveals he entered one of South Africa’s biggest cycling challenges with just one hour of training the week before! We hear about his dramatic "crucible moment" when he found himself sprawled on the M1 highway with just 6km to go, both legs locked up with cramps. Despite the struggle, his story is an inspirational—and cautionary—tale that proves sometimes, the biggest obstacle is just taking that first step. Tune in for surprising encouragement for aspiring cyclists and hear Taste commit to doing it all again next year (with actual training this time)! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Are powerful celebrities really being held accountable? We dive into the controversial case of Diddy, who begins serving a surprisingly short 15-month prison sentence despite serious allegations. We question how someone with documented abusive behavior receives credit for "good conduct," explore rumors of a potential Presidential Pardon, and examine Diddy's own eerily prophetic words from 1999. The disconnect between justice and celebrity privilege is starkly apparent. Plus, the music world keeps turning! We bring you updates on Ray's recovered stolen car, which thankfully contained the missing songwriting materials for her delayed sophomore album. Finally, Demi Lovato is back and better than ever, announcing her 23-city "It's Not That Deep" North American tour in support of her return to dance-pop roots! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.
