A UCT graduate, a Cape Town based publicist and music supervisor, Martin Myers began his career in the music industry by running UCT Radio at the University of Cape Town back in 1985.

Martin also writes a weekly Op-ed piece for Next 48 hours that appears under the Title – Music Exchange Sport – which is Martin’s second favourite passion. Since 2005 he has co-presented “On The Couch”, a Saturday morning sports show which airs between 9am and 10am on Heart 104.9fm. The show itself is a favourite with Cape Town sports fans and has been nominated for 3 radio awards.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
