What happens when you wake up every morning with no idea what challenge the day holds? On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we’re joined by Josh from MasterChef South Africa, who pulls back the curtain on the show's grueling schedule and intense mental game.

Josh reflects on the vital roles of patience and precision in the kitchen, especially when the clock is ticking against you. He recalls a "traumatic" moment involving a choux pastry disaster where he had to restart his entire process 30 minutes into the cook. Beyond the apron, we look at what’s next for Josh as he discusses an exciting future project that blends his passion for food with his background in interior design. It’s a conversation packed with humor, kitchen secrets, and inspiration for anyone who loves the art of the plate.

It is time to decide: is it headline news or just noise? On this edition of News It or Lose It, Zweli reacts to the visually stunning trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming action epic, The Odyssey. With a powerhouse cast featuring Tom Holland and Lupita Nyong’o, we explore why this journey is already being hailed as a cinematic event.

We also head to the steps of the Met Gala, where the "Costume Art" theme took center stage. The biggest story of the night? Beyoncé’s incredible return after a ten-year absence. We discuss the outfits that made a statement and whether the theme lived up to the hype. To wrap things up, we look at the music world’s mixed bag—from the disappointing news of the Pussycat Dolls canceling their North American tour to the arrival of a fresh new single from Gracie Abrams.

Does your dog have a taste for expensive tech or high-end upholstery? On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli gets real about the chaotic side of dog ownership. From his own Labrador’s expensive appetite for AirPods and a literal car bumper, we explore the hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking reality of living with a furry "demolition crew".

We hear from the 947 listeners who have lived through the unthinkable—from a pup that successfully pulled off a KFC heist to another that decided the curtains and blinds were a five-course meal. We also break down the two distinct camps of dog owners: the ones who insist their "fur-baby" could do no wrong, and the ones who have the receipts (and the chewed-up remotes) to prove the truth. It’s a laugh-out-loud celebration of the mischief that makes dog ownership an unpredictable adventure.

Grab your favorite snacks and settle in! In this episode of Afternoons with Zweli on 947, Mantsoe (stepping in for Zweli) takes us on a deep dive into the world of "comfort shows."

We’re exploring why we keep going back to the classics from the high-octane energy of Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon to the witty comfort of Will & Grace. Mantsoe and friends get real about their "emotional support" series, spanning everything from the cozy world of Korean Dramas to the Disney Channel golden era of That’s So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

It’s more than just TV; it’s a nostalgic journey through the shows that shaped our childhoods and continue to bring us joy today.
