We bring key executives and trailblazers onto the station to delve into every aspect of their entertainment business reality."

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. 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. Business of Entertainment inspires our audience while championing those who have paved a way in the sector," van Staden concludes.
