It’s a conversation every parent needs to hear. On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli dives into the serious health concerns surrounding highly caffeinated energy drinks. We’re reacting to the devastating news of a 17-year-old athlete who lost her life to caffeine-induced cardiomyopathy—an enlarged heart caused by excessive stimulant intake.

We’re looking past the bright colors and "wellness" marketing of brands like Alani Nu to discuss the real impact on young bodies. Zweli reflects on her own childhood "sugar curfews" and asks the 947 family: What are the rules in your house? From listeners who ban energy drinks entirely to those struggling to manage their teens' gym-culture habits, we explore the importance of mindful consumption. It’s a raw look at how a simple choice in the fridge can have life-altering consequences, and why "better-for-you" branding isn't always what it seems.

It’s a weekend recap of cosmic proportions! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli breaks down the historic splashdown of the Artemis II crew, who just returned to Earth after a record-breaking 10-day journey around the Moon.

Back on Earth, the drama is just as intense. We’re diving into the Coachella 2026 fallout, specifically the online feud between Justin Bieber and Zara Larsson. After Zara called Justin’s "YouTube-heavy" headlining set "lazy" and compared it to a smoke session, the internet has been divided—is it high art or just a $10 million low-effort payday? Plus, we have the latest on South Africa’s Grammy darling, Tyla. Her sophomore album A-Pop is officially on the way, and we’re giving you a sneak peek at the leaked single "She Did It Again." From the Pacific Ocean to the Empire Polo Club, we’ve got the stories that shaped your weekend.

First, Katseye has officially dropped their high-energy new single "Pinky Up," just in time for their historic Coachella debut today! But the celebration is bittersweet—Manon Bannerman is officially absent from the lineup and promotional materials as her hiatus continues, leaving fans demanding answers.

Then, we’re talking about a collaboration we didn't know we needed: Lady Gaga and Doja Cat have teamed up for the lead single of the upcoming thriller The Devil Who Is Proud Of Too. Finally, we’re on "Olivia Watch" as Olivia Rodrigo teases her new era with the single "Drop Dead," coming April 17th. We’re decoding that cryptic cover art—is it a "News It" or a "Lose It"?

It’s supposed to be the best day of your life, but sometimes, the universe has other ideas! On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli is diving into the chaos of wedding days gone wrong. Inspired by a viral TikTok of a couple reciting their vows in a literal mud-pit during a storm, we’re asking the 947 family to share their most "cringe-worthy" wedding memories.

We hear from the bride whose three-tier cake surrendered to the Gauteng heat, the groom who realized the rings were still on the kitchen counter, and the best man whose speech was fueled by a little too much Dutch courage. It’s a hilarious, relatable, and heart-warming look at how the biggest disasters often make for the best stories. Whether your wedding was a fairytale or a comedy of errors, we’re celebrating the beauty of imperfection and the fact that you still said "I do" at the end of it all.

Every second counts when the tickets are on the line! On this episode of Six-out-of-Six, Zweli hosts a nail-biting showdown between two of our favorite listeners, Harsha and Amitha.

The challenge was simple: name six items in a category before the buzzer sounds. But with the pressure of a live audience and four tickets to the Magical Marble Family Fest at stake, things got intense! We got a chance to hear the heart behind the game as Harsha and Amitha shared stories about their families and why they wanted to win. Ultimately, Harsha proved to have the fastest reflexes in Joburg, securing the grand prize! We’re so excited for Harsha’s family to experience the magic, the food gardens, and the literacy pillars of the fest this Mother’s Day weekend. It wasn't just a game; it was a celebration of the memories we make together.

It’s a weekend of highs and lows in the world of entertainment! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli dives into the Coachella 2026 kickoff. While the hype for headliners Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter is off the charts, the K-pop/global world is in mourning HYBE has officially confirmed that Manon will miss Katseye’s historic debut tonight due to an ongoing hiatus. We’re decoding the drama behind her absence from the "Pinky Up" promotional materials.

We’re talking about Ariana Grande’s rumored studio sessions with the legendary Jermaine Dupri for her upcoming project, and the massive buzz surrounding Trevor Noah’s introspective new Netflix special, Joy in the Trenches. Finally, we’re looking ahead to April 24th, as the final trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic Michael has fans stunned by Jaafar Jackson’s transformation. Is it a "News It" or a "Lose It"?

It’s time to air out the dirty laundry, literally! On this episode of "I’m Not the Only One", Zweli is tackling a dilemma that has the studio divided and the listeners cringing. We’re responding to a listener whose boyfriend is convinced that washing his bedsheets once a month is "standard procedure."

We’re getting real about the science of sleep hygiene. From sweat and skin cells to the dreaded dust mites, we’re discussing what actually happens to your mattress when you skip laundry day. Zweli opens up about her own sheet-changing routine (is she a once-a-week purist or a "whenever I remember" rebel?) and we ask the 947 family to weigh in. Is monthly washing a red flag, or are we all just being a little too high-maintenance? Grab your detergent and get ready for some uncomfortable honesty.

Larissa and Tshireletso went head-to-head in a battle of wits, categories, and lightning-fast reflexes.

She’s walking away with four tickets to the highly anticipated Magical Marble Family Fest happening over the Mother’s Day weekend. We’re talking about a weekend of nostalgia, family bonding, and pure Joburg magic. Huge congratulations to our winners—we can’t wait to see the photos from the fest!

It’s a massive week for the charts! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli is breaking down the headlines that have the 947 WhatsApp line blowing up.

First, Olivia Rodrigo has officially announced her new single "Drop Dead," dropping next Friday, April 17th.

Finally, we’re on "Tyla Watch" as she teases her second album, A-Pop.
