Sinopsis
Our popular talk show, Idy's Notes, is hosted by own very own Irrepressible Idy, who chats up guests every Mon-Fri at 8:00pm on ArrowLine Chinese Radio (AM1269) in Johannesburg, South Africa. We target the young Chinese and Taiwanese transplants and locals of South Africa, and we talk about anything from Music, Movies, different cultures to Technology and (very rarely) Politics. More often than not, we're making fun of each other on air and having good time doing it! If you don't laugh at least once during out show, we guarantee your money back!
