Sex and storms at Heart 104.9FM

“Our programming mix attracts media talents like Dr Eve, couple sex therapist, and TV personality Derek van Dam,” says Vernon Adams, program manager. He adds that "we are very pleased to make them part of our valued offering further increasing our listeners' experience of a great radio product."

"We will be creating a professional safe forum in which people will feel comfortable to join in discussions. The aim is to educate, inform and entertain listeners and the content will focus on sexuality, sexual health, relationships and loving," says Dr Eve. She added: "The principles underlying the content are rights, responsibilities and respect and the rewards of healthy loving." The show will also be focussing on broader issues and provide information on safer sex, HIV and violence which will be threaded through each show. Dr Eve writes for magazines and newspapers countrywide and contributes to international publications and academic journals.

Van Dam will provide Cape Town with its very own personalised weather forecast on the Hearty Breakfast show daily. "I wanted to become a weatherman on TV. A different choice for most boys at a young age, but I followed my passion and studied meteorology, broadcast and cinematic arts and mathematics at Central Michigan University," says van Dam. "This is familiar territory for me as I was an on-air meteorologist before, so as I understand what it takes to get your morning started."

Dr Eve is on every Wednesday from 8-9pm with Diggy Bongz and Derek van Dam weekdays from 6-9am with Lee Downs. For more information go to www.1049.fm.
