East Coast Breakfast

Today is our very own Keri Miller's birthday! But there seems to have been some drama...

It's been two years since the team could properly celebrate her special day together seeing as her 2020 birthday fell right into the initial strict level 5 lockdown. She came to work expecting to be greeted with gifts and well wishes, however, someone else received a birthday gift on HER day!

Once again DKS is sitting down to chat with our show regular Dr Sandile Shabalala, who is the Head of the KZN Department of Health. Since the financial year has come to an end it is time to discuss what the department has in the pipeline for the new year. We also reflect on the previous year and the challenges they have had to face.

The 8th of April is a very special day. According to Keri Miller, the number eight is the number of abundances and is also considered the symbol of infinity! But it turns out there is more to it than just a bunch of numbers. What could it be? Keri is throwing out hints while Darren and Sky are actively trying to avoid them!

It's #HumpDay and it's time to #GetFactd! Darren Maule is back with a bunch of weird, wonderful, and wacky facts that will blow your mind! As it turns out French buskers are more talented than we think and pigs (yes like the animals) have a very strict no-alcohol rule. The most surprising fact however involves a vacuum cleaner, the noise it makes and Sky's inability to use it correctly.

Darren, Keri and Sky are searching for KZN’s Last Kid Standing! Are you a parent or guardian of a fourth-grader or know of one who would easily walk away with prizes to the value of R100,000 by just being a champion speller? Well, this one is for you! Take a listen to find out more about the competition and how you can enter today.

Our favourite Prof is back with some more important stats and facts about the COVID-19 virus and the vaccines that have been rolling out this year. How does the virus and it's various variants really react to the vaccines that been created? How do scientists calculate numbers and identify variants in countries like Tanzania and Brazil where they don’t submit statistics? He answer all these questions and more?

We all know how the KZN weather can get. One moment the sun is shining and it's a beautiful beach day, but 10 minutes later you're surrounded by a tropical storm! Thunderbolts and lightning can be very, very frightening and if you are undercover then you should be safe. Emphasis on SHOULD. Keri was shocked yesterday when she ended up getting up close and personal with some lightning...

The team had a wonderful long weekend and they hope you did too! But the highlight of their weekend had to be the Sho't Left adventures they had yesterday. Turns out Darren Maule has many more hidden talents that no one knew about and Sky Tshabalala on a quad bike is a sight to see (more on our social media pages). From quad bike watching to dolphin riding... wait something doesn't sound right here...

It's been a minute but Darren Maule is ready to lay down some more knowledge while Keri Miller and Sky Tshabalala are ready to #GetFactd. Find out why nuclear physicist George de Hevesy wanted to test his landlady, why science fiction writers were employed by the French military and why you should actually be looking at the ground during a solar eclipse.

DKS spent the day exploring their incredible city by taking a Sho't Left - and things got wild! The highlight of their weekend was when they got to spend the day with the Sho't Left competition winner Amith as they went from whale and dolphin watching to quad bike riding. They had a jam-packed day full of adventures, and in classic DKS fashion - a lot of laughter! After the whale and dolphin watching expedition, the team headed out to Cato Ridge to live their best fast and furious lives. Most importantly, Sky might be quitting his day job soon as he possibly found a new, and completely different, calling. Take a listen to hear all about EVERYTHING they got up to...
