The Lead hits 1 million listens! We cross to Davos for WEF and US-SA trade talks

The Lead on News24 has finally reached more than one million listens, and one million page views, in under a year. Thanks go to all of the excellent News24 editors, journalists and columnists who’ve lent a great deal of their time and energy to share their intricate knowledge of news. But most of all, thank you, Lead listeners, for tuning in. Host Graeme Raubenheimer crosses to chilly Davos, Switzerland, to speak to business journo Garth Theunissen, on special assignment at the World Economic Forum. From US President Donald Trump’s push for Washington to control Greenland… to Minister Tau’s delicate US-SA trade talks, what do the snowy Swiss ski slopes have in store for Brand South Africa? Later, in our trending topic, one Jozi man demanded a refund after being caught with an alleged sex worker in a Ferndale problem building. Finally, we celebrate legendary journo Percy Qoboza, with On This Day in SA History, heard later. BONUS: Try and crack Graeme’s Pointless Braai Quiz in the process! To advertise: [email protected]. Full editions drop Monday through Thursday at 19:00 on Spotify, Apple and YouTube. The show is fully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer, and quality-checked by Simon Sonnekus.
