Rasdien shares that he vividly remembers the moment that Darren got the radio gig at East Coast Radio back in 2011. He had been in Durban shortly after that year for a comedy show and was invited on the show as a guest.

We can say that Joey was one of the few people who foresaw the longevity of Darren's career as a radio personality because in that one interview, he witnessed and was convinced of Darren's dedication to this craft.

Take a listen to their friendship journey.
You'll also hear important lessons Darren learned in the radio industry. You'll be surprised to hear him admit some things.
