The conversation took stranger turns with an outrageous 1970s tale dubbed tape,” mixing disbelief with dark humour, and a sharp discussion about violent taxi versus e-hailing clashes in Soweto. The hosts also unpacked global politics — from New Zealand’s criticism of Israel to the UK’s royal gossip — while never straying too far from the banter and audience interaction that keep their community hooked.

It was a send-off show that had everything: high-stakes sport, political fire, absurd human behaviour, and street-level South African realities — a perfect snapshot of why the live format keeps our audience coming back. ]]> Society & Culture Fri, 15 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0200 0 0 Trump’s Armored Golf Cart, Soweto Taxi vs E-Hailing, A Wild Friday Send-off to remember 0 0 Gareth Cliff and Team full 59:10 The Gareth Cliff Show https://iono.fm/e/1586080 https://iono.fm/e/1586080

The crossroads of technology, mental health, and social behavior demands balance — ensuring innovation supports, not replaces, the emotional depth of human relationships.

From the erosion of manners to the modern parenting maze, from AI’s promise to its pitfalls, the episode is a call for common sense, resilience, and genuine connection in a distracted world. ]]> Society & Culture Mon, 11 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0200 0 0 DR Ken Resnik Schools Us On Calmness And Modern Parenting 0 0 Gareth Cliff and Team full 58:24 The Gareth Cliff Show https://iono.fm/e/1585228 https://iono.fm/e/1585228
