About
I have over 20 years experience in radio, in Johannesburg, from 1994 to 2015. I was mainly a producer at Talk Radio 702 for about 10 years, and Afternoon Drive Traffic Reporter. During my time at 702, I also did many live after-midnight talkshows, where I would talk uninterrupted for 20 minutes at a time, on most occasions.
For 11 years, I was Gareth Cliff’s producer at 5fm and CliffCentral. Subsequent to my work with Gareth Cliff, I recorded over 150 episodes of my own podcast, “Keeping Up with the Kalvaris” ranging from 15 minutes to an hour in duration, unscripted. With my experience, I am highly confident I can produce and present an engaging, entertaining, informative podcast on your platform
