Msizi James and Thando Thabethe are back together on-air, eight years after first shaking up radio on 5FM. On Monday afternoon, listeners were thrilled to tune into the popular 947 Drive 3-6pm, reuniting the duo weekdays. James spills on the reunion:
How did the first shift go?
It went great. It didnt feel like anything brand new it felt more like a homecoming, a reunion. I have started many new shows and its always hard to adjust to a new person or time slot, but it felt comfortable because Ive been in that position before with Thando.
What do you now get to do that you were unable to do on 5FM?
At 5FM, we had a lot of fun, did a lot of great radio and were nominated for awards. What we didnt get to do because our time was cut short was to do more experimental radio and push boundaries. We are not shock jocks, thats lazy radio, but trying things that have not been done on SA radio. Im looking forward to exploring now that we have the resources and the backing of management.
