from Afternoons with Zweli on 947 · host 947

Grab your favorite snacks and settle in! In this episode of Afternoons with Zweli on 947, Mantsoe (stepping in for Zweli) takes us on a deep dive into the world of "comfort shows." We’re exploring why we keep going back to the classics from the high-octane energy of Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon to the witty comfort of Will & Grace. Mantsoe and friends get real about their "emotional support" series, spanning everything from the cozy world of Korean Dramas to the Disney Channel golden era of That’s So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. It’s more than just TV; it’s a nostalgic journey through the shows that shaped our childhoods and continue to bring us joy today. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media      947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
