The Birds, The Bees, and the Awkward Silence: Mastering "The Talk"

from Afternoons with Zweli on 947 · host 947

It’s the conversation every parent dreads and every child eventually experiences: "The Talk." On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we’re shedding the awkwardness and getting real about the birds and the bees. Zweli opens up about his own memories of those cringeworthy moments, and we’re opening the lines for the 947 family to share theirs. From hilarious misunderstandings to the moments that actually changed how we view relationships, we’re exploring why "the talk" shouldn't be a one-time event, but an ongoing series of small, honest conversations. Whether you’re a parent trying to find the words or someone still recovering from their parents' attempt, this episode is a reminder that when it comes to relationships, respect, and growing up, open communication is the best tool we have. 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.
