Robby Kojetin

Chez Valenti & Rabbi Ze'ev Kraines
We don't know a great deal about hypnotherapy in life, but it is something that can reveal more about our lives than ever believed possible. Chez Valenti is a hypnotherapist, who has teamed up with Rabbi Ze'ev Kraines (aka 'Warren Scott') to create the book 'Getting to the Core', a…

John Vlismas
Gareth and John Vlismas are unable to exchange small talk, they only ever discuss the big things. The Hate Speech bill, tapeworm activists, Joost's death and why people gravitate to certain people in life. And that's just the intro. John has a new show called 'The Good Racist', and it…

Maeshni Naicker & Madhushan Singh

Lize Mynhardt
Gareth doesn't remember too many Idols contestants, but Lize Mynhardt is a talented musician who thankfully doesn't fit into that category. Blessed with perfect pitch and a hugely mature outlook on life, the Capetonian performs live in studio and discusses all manner of things with Gareth, from cover bands to…
Lord Peter Hain

Lucky Du Plessis
