The Big Dog, aka TK, and the lovely MisRed bring you the ultimate breakfast radio experience; and make sure that you Get Up And Do Something! Marc Pozzo brings the sports and Martha Mamombe keeps you up-to-date with the news.
We caught up with the Big Dog early on Thursday morning before he started his show.
For two years now TK has been up each weekday morning at 3AM to prep for the show and is in Studio by 5AM. Working a unique 4 hour radio shift and out of the office by 12PM to commence school run.
If you hadn’t become a DJ and MC , what everyday occupation would you have liked to pursue?I would have loved to become a television commercials director and lately a farmer. New Farmer. Cellphone farmer, might I add.
Do you get nervous before every show?Not with radio and I would not call it nervous but butterflies and they used to make me nervous back in the day. But, love it…
Who would you like to host a show with and why?MisRed cause she is very short… lol
What advice would you give to people wanting to get into the DJ and radio personality space?Best be yourself and work with material around you, make sure you are well-informed, well-read and researched and a lot of exposure will certainly do you good. Be open-minded and develop your personality… in line with stationality (just had to say that, my ZiFM get the gist)
What did you want to be when you were younger?A graphic designer
- Chamisa under fire over US$120K donation
- Mavhunga puts DeMbare into Chibuku quarterfinals
- Pension funds bet on Cabora Bassa oilfields
- Councils defy govt fire tender directive
