Guest: US political commentator, Brooks Spector

US President Donald Trump, who is yet to acknowledge his resounding loss to Joe Biden, has announced a slew of presidential pardons, and issued a sudden demand for changes to a desperately needed $900 billion pandemic relief bill. Notably, he is asking for a big increase in the proposed $600  in direct payments to less well-off Americans, saying this should be increased to $2,000, which is the amount the Democrats requested in the first place.  We speak to US political commentator, Brooks Spector.

John Maytham is a trained actor who made the switch to radio over 20 years ago when he joined the news team at Radio 604.

He then swapped reporting for anchoring an AM drive time show at a national talk radio station.

Once he set the bar for South African news and talk radio he accepted the challenge to join Primedia Broadcasting and help establish the newly founded CapeTalk, fulfilling the role of both News Editor and Breakfast Host.

He was the first host to switch on the mic on 14 October 1997.

Years later, he was also the first radio broadcaster to do a Google Hangout in South Africa.
