Pippa Hudson chats to maritime historian Brian Ingpen about the history and growth of cruise ships in Cape Town, from early mail vessels to today’s global industry. The conversation is inspired by his new book, On Passage to Cape Town, and touches on iconic liners, the city’s rise as a cruise destination, and the industry’s economic impact.

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 1:10 pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.
