Pull up a chair for a beautifully raw, inspiring, and heartwarming look behind the microphone. In this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, Zweli is joined by fellow radio powerhouse Bolele Polisa for a deep dive into the industry's real ups and downs. The duo takes us back to where it all began reminiscing about their chaotic early days in campus radio and the wild journey that brought them to the national airwaves. They get real about the power of mentorship, the grind of balancing heavy creative demands with a busy schedule, and the non-negotiable rule of staying true to yourself in the face of adversity. Plus, we celebrate Bolele's massive nomination for Entertainment Radio Presenter of the Year at the Basadi in Music Awards and break down exactly how you can help her bring the crown home!

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.
