Could you survive for months in the wilderness with absolutely nothing but a few tools and your own thoughts? On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we’re talking about the reality TV phenomenon that has everyone gripped: Alone.

With a massive R10 million grand prize on the line, contestants are dropped into the most brutal environments on Earth with zero human contact. But it’s not just the starvation or the wildlife that gets them, it’s the silence. Zweli puts herself in their boots, questioning how any of us would fare without our phones, our favorite shows, or even a simple conversation for weeks on end. We dive into the psychology of solitude and ask the 947 family: At what point would you tap out? Is the money worth the mental toll, or are some of us just not built for the quiet?

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.

Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.
