Crystal Orderson speaks to Iain Harris, Event Project Manager at the Food Indaba, who helps shape this multi-day programme of talks, demos, and conversations. He says this year’s theme is about reimagining Africa’s food future with both traditional wisdom and cutting-edge tech at the centre of the plate. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Get ready to redefine aging with this replay of one the most popular episodes of 'Age Better' from 2024, featuring Chip Conley, co-founder of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA)! In this chat with Age Better host Barbara Hannah Grufferman, Chip, who wrote a best-selling book called “Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age,” revolutionizes how we view and experience midlife, transforming it from a period of apprehension to one of opportunity and growth. What You'll Learn from this Episode: - Social wellness is crucial in midlife, sometimes even more than personal wellness. - Anticipated regret is a form of wisdom, guiding us to make choices that align with our long-term goals. - Embracing new beginnings and experiences is linked to a longer, healthier life. - The midlife chrysalis is a period of profound personal growth, leading to new passions and purposes. - The importance of social connections and support for older individuals cannot be overstated.

John Maytham is joined by Khaya Sithole, chartered accountant, political analyst, and Business Day columnist. He argues that if President Ramaphosa’s mission succeeds, the economic fallout can be contained—but failure could leave South Africa paying a steep price, not just diplomatically, but economically. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.
