With over 100 episodes aired, all focusing on global inspirational leaders in The Business of Entertainment, the show continues to attract a growing audience on-air and online.

Myers says, “The conversations are always focussed on being entertaining and inspirational, peppered with true stories, first-person accounts and invaluable tips from the people who’ve made a successful living from their craft.”

CapeTalk station manager Tessa van Staden says, “CapeTalk is passionate about supporting creatives. Artists, musicians, sculptors, performers, directors and authors hold a mirror to society to reflect who and what we are,” she adds. “They play one of the most challenging and vital functions, often without the necessary backing or resources.”
“This segment always shares practical tips for those starting in the industry. The Business of Entertainment inspires our audience while championing those who have paved a way in the sector,” Van Staden concludes.
