WE all need to wake up to a refreshing morning filled with positive energy and optimism.
Also, there is no better time to catch up with local and foreign news than at the start of the day. For those struggling to get reliable and easily accessible global information, “Start-Up Capital” on Capitalk 100.4 is doing wonders.
The weekday programme runs between 6am and 10am and is hosted by Jackson Madzimba from Monday to Thursday, while Tariro Manamike hosts the Friday edition.
“Start-Up Capital” has a number of segments that will certainly make your breakfast a memorable one.
A lot of people shy away from economic news, as they consider it hard to comprehend.
But this is where Jackson comes in.
He simplifies economic matters in “Business Focus”, a segment that is aired at 7.15am.
The programme dissects all economic questions affecting our nation, policymakers, businesspeople and the general populace – talk of markets, business laws, fiscal matters, investment and entrepreneurship.
The morning quiz at 6.55am is another teaser filled with edutainment (education and entertainment). It motivates listeners through sharing quotes, songs, plays or even sermons on “Start-Up Motivation”.
You can also catch up with the latest trending stories in the capital city, Harare, headlines from across the country, the region and ultimately the world on “Press Flash”. The highlight of the show is “Straight Talk”, which is reserved for the hottest economic issue of the day. It features reputable guests.
“Straight Talk” serves to bring to account public office-bearers, shape the economic recovery discourse, as well as celebrate success stories.
But all talk and no music makes radio boring. A suitable playlist that compliments the morning mood is carefully selected.
As compliment, lucky listeners get a chance to win several hampers from Tanganda Tea Company.
