On this week's 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme pay tribute to Springbok and Bulls utility back Cornal Hendricks who passed away this week. Hendricks was a much loved character, as full of life as he was fight. A poor upbringing and a potentially life threatening medical condition did not stand in the way of the dreams. Even after his Test days were numbered he continued to play with his infectious, characteristic smile.

The episode also delves into the Lions failure at reaching the United Rugby Championship quarterfinals for the fourth straight year.

The hosts close the show with predictions for the final round of league matches in the URC.

I’ve tried dating apps to see what’s out there. I usually go in hopeful, thinking there must be someone for me. Apparently, there’s not. But I don’t think the problem is me - I think people are messy. Some of them probably shouldn’t be dating at all.

Luckily, I have a great bestie—Stacey Norman. She’s a long-term relationship kind of girl, a true serial dater. I’ve always admired that. She’s dated, I haven’t - and I’ve started to wonder: is it me? What am I doing wrong?

So I asked her. I needed honest feedback from someone who knows and loves me. Ideally, she tells me it’s not me, men suck - and oh, she’s found me a boyfriend.

Let’s hold thumbs.

In Afrikaans se verjaarsdag maand vier ons sport se bydrae tot die skep van nuwe woorde. Dit was juis 'n toets tussen die Springbokke en Nieu-Seeland meer as 'n honderd jaar terug wat noodgedwonge gelei het tot uitdink van die woord "skepskop" - die sport was daar, maar te min Afrikaanse woorde om oor die toets te skryf. In Episode twee van hierdie mini potgooi reeks vertel van die groot name in die media bedryf hoe die Afrikaanse media die taal help slyp het.

Afrikaans vier in 2025 ’n honderd jaar as amptelike landstaal. Terwyl daar makietie gehou word, is dit egter nie duidelik presies wanneer en waar Afrikaans gebore is nie.

Die eerste kommunikasie tussen plaaslike inwoners en destydse seevaarders was wel wat ons vandag beskou as die eerste kontak met Afrikaans. In hierdie episode, delf die Jacranda FM Nuus span se Marlinée Fouché diep - opsoek na Afrikaans se wortels en sy volg die taal se takke wat wyd strek…..

Get ready! Love, Dating and Chaos with Philicity Reeken launches 15 May, 2025! Podcast page on Jacaranda FM

Suid-Afrika is in Januarie 2018 geskud deur ’n gru spoor ramp toe ’n Shosholoza Meyl passasiers trein en ’n trok buite Kroonstad gebots het.

Chaos het op die toneel uitgebreek sowat 10 minute na die ongeluk toe passasiers besef het hulle is vas gekeer in van die brandende waens – waarvan die deure geseël was.

Die passasiers trein was besig om vakansie gangers terug te ry huis toe na die Desember vakansie en die ongeluk het opslae gemaak regoor die wêreld.
