“Prolific SA author and  journalist, Dr Nechama Brodie, has launched the second book in her  Reshma Patel & Ian Jack thriller series, ‘Three Bodies’(Pan  Macmillan). Intrepid Brodie travels Joburg’s underground tunnels, places  women’s bodies in the city’s waters, dabbles in African muti and  investigates the modus operandi of cash-in-transit heists. Brodie’s  series will grip and grow.

“I spoke about Heather Morris, author  of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, who’s reaching her millions of fans in a  series of Facebook Live videos, ‘Stories of Hope’ (Jonathan Ball). ‘The  Kennedy Curse’ by James Patterson (Penguin) is a riveting read about  America’s tragic Royal Family. Pieter-Louis Myburgh has won SA’s top  award, Taco Kuiper Award for Investigative Journalism, with his  explosive, damning book, ‘Gangster State’(Penguin) on the crooked  dealings of ANC secretary general, Ace Magashule. Finally, Richmond in  the Karoo aims to host the world’s largest online Literary Festival.

This was a fun chat!

Kim Hauman, chats to us about why it is important for those who are older, to keep fit and healthy, in this time when they are staying home more, due to Covid-19. We should not use this time as an excuse not to work out, she says, but rather, we should seek other ways to stay fit, even from home. Kim said there are several very simple things we can do right in the comfort of our own home, and although we are unable to go to our local Gym, and workout with our friends, it is possible to have that community using the internet, and modern technology. 

SILVER FIT is a group helping older adults to do just that. It is never too late to begin, and you are never too old, Kim says.

“ Hedi Lampert has written the  first book in the world as a novel, about Fragile X Syndrome, an  inherited genetic condition, that results in intellectually challenged  babies being born. The Trouble with My Aunt (Porcupine Press) based on  her own family’s experience, is infused with humour, some sex, lots of  Jewish food, and serious information delivered through a highly  palatable family saga.

“A book that makes you giggle - and then cry.

“  Desperately craving a good night’s rest? Take (not a pill) but a good  dose of bestselling British author and doctor’s, Fast Asleep (Faber  &Faber/Jonathan Ball) by Dr Michael Mosley. His own insomnia and  search for answers makes this a riveting and easy read.”

For someone such as myself, a person always fascinated with space, whom, as a little boy, stared up at the stars, speaking with Professor David Block, Professor Emeritus, of Mathematics and Applied Sciences at the University of Witwaterstrand, was an honour indescribable in words. 

In this short chat, we spoke about the historic events we all witnessed over the past weekend, and even managed to chat about the past (Apollo, Space Shuttle), and also looked to the future a bit. SpaceX and Elon Musk brought America to space, from American soil,  for the first time in 9 years since the Space Shuttle programme ended in 2011, and South Africans should be proud that the effort was spearheaded by SpaceX, an American company founded by a South African, Mr. Elon Musk. It is also worth noting, this is the first time in history, a commercially-operated spacecraft has carried humans into space. The technological advancement of the SpaceX Dragon Crew capsule is such, it will be used for many years to come, and has the capability to carry us beyond low-earth orbit, hopefully soon to the moon, and Mars!

We were honoured to have two members of infamous South African music group FOUR JACKS AND A JILL live in studio with us, to chat about the bands BRAND NEW TRACK, Township Taxi, and much more! Not only are these guys legends in South Africa, but around the world, having been the first South African band to score a number one hit around the world, before ever leaving South African soil, with their single in the 1960's "MASTER JACK". Dustin recalls growing up in Detroit and hearing the song, in the 1980's, having no idea the band was South African. Now he has the opportunity to meet some of the legendary band! 

This week on MIND MATTERS, Jenni K chats with us about how to build resistance to stress, and relieve stressful situations, with some very simple techniques we can do anywhere. 

Neuro-Linguistic  Programming (NLP) provides practical ways to change the way we think,  view past events, and adjust our reactions so that we can enjoy happier,  richer lives, and achieve our goals.

NLP  offers a set of psychological tools that allow us to apply conscious  reasoning to unconscious programming so that we can change the reactions  and patterns of behavior that we wish to change in our lives.
