Pippa Hudson interviews Craig Urbani about the return of The Rocky Horror Show to Cape Town. They discuss Urbani stepping back into the iconic role of Frank ‘n’ Furter, what makes this latest production fresh, and why the cult musical continues to resonate with audiences decades later. The conversation also touches on audience participation, the energy of the cast and creative team, and the show’s themes of identity, freedom of expression and unapologetic self-discovery.

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.

Pippa Hudson speaks to motoring journalist Ernest Page in this week’s Car Talk feature, comparing two of South Africa’s most popular SUVs — the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Everest. The conversation unpacks how these rivals stack up in terms of comfort, technology, reliability, and off-road capability, and what that means for everyday drivers and families. They also explore shifting buyer priorities in the SUV market, before Ernest weighs in on a listener question about the Peugeot 2008 and the brand’s overall value proposition.
