Sponsor JoziStyle on Radio Today

Just press PLAY!

First things first, let’s talk about community radio. You know, this station, Radio Today Johannesburg? We love bringing you the best tunes, the hottest local interviews, and the kind of honest conversations you won’t find anywhere else. But the truth is, keeping a radio station running isn’t easy. It takes money for equipment, rent, and keeping the website humming.

Securing sponsorships feels like pulling teeth sometimes. Businesses come knocking on our door wanting free exposure to promote their brands. “Just a little shout-out,” they say, with this innocent act like it’s no big deal. But, it is a big deal. Free airtime adds up. We offer valuable exposure, and a little courtesy fee wouldn’t hurt.

Look, I get it. Everyone wants bang for their buck. Businesses advertise in fancy magazines, flashy TV commercials, all that jazz. They have the budget, and they’re spending it. But here’s the thing: local radio reaches people in their communities, the folks who might walk through your doors. So, invest in local radio and content creators that support you too!

Alright, enough about the business side of things. Let’s talk romance! Valentine’s Day is creeping up, and you know what that means – a flood of mushy cards and heart-shaped chocolates. Now, I’m not one to shy away from a good indulgence. A part of me craves that classic Valentine’s Day dinner: fresh seafood, a melt-in-your-mouth steak, and a decadent dessert!

But hey, some nights call for a lighter touch. A beautiful salad with a citrusy kick, grilled fish or chicken with colourful roasted vegetables, and a fresh fruit salad drizzled with yogurt. Remember, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about wining and dining a significant other. It’s about celebrating love, and that includes loving yourself!

Speaking of self-love, ever consider treating yourself on Valentine’s Day? Draw a luxurious bath with those essential oils you’ve been eyeing. Whip up your favourite meal, the one you never get to order because “it’s just for one.” Grab a book that’s been collecting dust on your shelf, or put on that movie you’ve been dying to see. Newsflash: you only get one life, so make yourself feel special.

And lastly, let’s talk about something serious. Alcohol. We see it everywhere, glamorized in movies, splashed across billboards, even joked about with friends. But here’s the thing folks, alcohol has a darker side. DUIs, domestic violence, just the toll it takes on your health – it’s a real problem.

You know, there was a time when a drink or two was just part of my routine. But I woke up one day and realized it wasn’t serving me anymore. So, from now on, JoziStyle is going alcohol-free. We’ll still drink it, but we’ll be promoting responsible choices and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Until next time, stay strong, stay healthy, and remember, you’ve got this!
