Saskia Falken, in for Pippa Hudson, speaks to comedian Akhil Maharaj, who’s teamed up with a group of comics to launch a brand-new weekly stand-up comedy night at an Observatory favourite — OBZ Books. It’s called Why Did Comedy, and it kicks off next Thursday, 15 January.

Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show. 

This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.
