What does it take to be one of the world’s greatest? Famed tennis player Johan Kriek is one who knows all about this. Gareth gets inside the mind of the South African-born, former top professional tennis player, ATP world ranking #7, # 2-time Australian Open Champion and South African Sport Hall of Fame Member since 2007. These days you can find him running the Johan Kriek Tennis Academy as a proud husband and father, as he explains in this interview recorded via Skype.

Roelf Meyer became a well-known face in South Africa during the transition to democracy when he led negotiations on behalf of the National Party with the ANC’s chief mediator, Cyril Ramaphosa. Whatever your political standing, you can’t help but be in awe of what this man has done. It’s now been more than 20 years since he left active politics, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been making a difference in other ways. Gareth gets into a conversation with this powerful leader on his groundbreaking work, some of the tough decisions he’s had to make, his comments on politics today, and so much more.

We know and love Candice Mama from her #WeeklyMashup days, and although she’s been on this show before, she hasn’t told her story like she has in her new book, 'Forgiveness Redefined'. She’s here to talk to us about her journey, and how she found it in herself to confront Eugene de Kock, the man who brutally murdered her father.

These days, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you're online, in a classroom, an office, a town hall - or even just hoping to get through a family dinner with a stubborn relative. That's why the release of Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay's book, 'How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide' is incredibly timely. Gareth interrogates the ideas and themes within the book as Peter chats to him via Skype from Portland, Oregon. This interview, much like the book, guides you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation - whether the issue is climate change, religious faith, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration, or gun control.

John van de Ruit’s writing just seems to have the magic touch. He’s famously known as the author of the 'Spud' series, but beyond that he’s involved in many other projects. We chat to him about his popular novels, as well as the movies... and he gives us a glimpse into his creation process.

He’s a South African singer and songwriter whose three studio albums have made him a platinum-selling success. His music has even caught the attention of 3-time Grammy-winning Canadian producer David Bottrill (Muse, Tool, Placebo). Jesse Clegg opens up about all the ups and downs in his life recently, including the death of his legendary father.
