Carl Wastie and Cassidy Nicholson bring Cape Town’s favourite afternoon show to life with the kind of playful chemistry only The Flash Drive can deliver.

Carl surprises Cassidy with a genealogist who maps out her entire family history - uncovering connections to District Six, French ancestry, and even 1820 settlers. What starts as lighthearted radio turns into an emotional journey of heritage and identity. Tune in to The Flash Drive on KFM 94.5 for music, laughter, and the kind of connection that makes every drive unforgettable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Discovering Your Roots: A Journey Through Family History What do our family stories really say about who we are? Carl & Cassidy got to chat with genealogist Heather McAllister for what started as a fun experiment (finding out more about Cassidy's heritage) - but quickly turned into a deeply personal journey of identity and belonging. From unexpected ties to District Six, to French ancestry and even the 1820 settlers, Cassidy’s family tree reveals a rich and complex history. Along the way, she shared the powerful moment of finally having her heritage documented - something she’s had to defend throughout her life. This isn’t just one person’s story; it’s a reminder of how our roots shape us, and why discovering them can be both emotional and transformative. If you’ve ever wondered about your own family’s past, you can contact Heather via email at info@ancestors.co.za See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turning Tragedy into Hope: Tears Animal Rescue Rebuilds with Community Support In this moving episode of The Flash Drive, Carl Wastie speaks with Tinka from Tears Animal Rescue—an organisation that’s rebuilding after a devastating fire destroyed four enclosures and kennels. Miraculously, every animal was unharmed. What starts as a story of loss becomes a powerful tale of resilience, compassion, and community. Tinka shares Tears’ mission to keep pets and families together, even through financial hardship, by offering education and resources to those in need. 💙 And in a beautiful act of generosity, the Dis-Chem Foundation stepped in with a R100,000 donation to help Tears rebuild and continue their life-saving work. Tune in now to hear how everyday kindness—and even your next swipe—can help transform lives, one paw at a time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
