It’s almost Easter, but for many of us, the traditional road trip to the coast is looking a little different this year. On this episode of "Be Real" with Zweli, we’re cutting through the holiday hype to talk about the reality of the "Easter Economy."

Zweli shares his own frustration with the rising cost of fuel, admitting that the classic family getaway has become a luxury few can afford. He opens the floor to the 947 family, and the response is overwhelming: from students working extra shifts just to keep up, to families making the tough decision to skip the travel and embrace the "staycation." We’re talking about the financial squeeze, the pressure to "keep up appearances," and the radical act of finding genuine joy in simple, low-cost celebrations. It’s a conversation about resilience, real-world budgeting, and why the best part of Easter isn't where you go, but who you spend it with.

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.
