The Anne Hirsch radio show: coming soon!
East Coast Radio is thrilled to announce a new addition to our line-up: one of South Africa’s best-known internet personalities, Anne Hirsch, is set to bring her distinct character to our airwaves.
The humour-driven Anne Hirsch Radio Show, which offers a blend of celebrity interviews with off-centre comedy, is best described as ‘stalk show’ entertainment, and premieres from 9pm to 10pm on Wednesday 25 September.
Hirsch’s unique comedic flair has gained her major cult following among the public as well as local celebrities, and she’s harnessed her popularity to tie down prominent celebrity interviews for her feature.
“I’ve always been interested in society’s obsession with celebrities and more precisely my own. The Anne Hirsch Show is not only a vehicle to explore this, but it’s also a tour de farce of sexy stalking. Being the most accomplished stalker in South Africa means I have millions if not billions of fANNEs. The tongue-in-cheek (my tongue in their cheeks) interviews will get your ears doing the lambada! Talk is cheap; stalk is where it’s at! #AngelinaJoliesBestFriend,” commented Anne.
Take a look at her interview with Jack Parow below.
Born-and-bred in Bloemfontein, Anne boasts a master’s degree from the University of Cape Town’s drama department, and now finds herself based in Cape Town.
Anne’s other bragging rights include being a full-time stand-up comic as well as a writer for ZANEWS, as well as recently being crowned as Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year – Next Big Thing.
“Anne is a force of nature – the first time I saw one of her YouTube episodes I was hooked. In that moment it was clear that The Anne Hirsch Radio Show had to happen. It’s incredibly funny and totally mad, in that it deliberately breaks most of the rules we radio people have lived by for years. That creates all sorts of new commercial opportunities for our clients as well,” said Kagiso Broadcasting’s Managing Director of radio, Nick Grubb.
Anne is currently stalking Kenny Kunene to be a guest on her radio show through use of what she calls 'video tactics'.
You’ll also catch interviews with celebrities like Khanyi Mbau, Pat Lambie, Toya Delazy, Jimmy Nevis and Heinz Winckler when the radio show kicks off.
