ECR) is thrilled to welcome a new addition to its podcast lineup that promises to give listeners the latest scoop straight from KwaZulu-Natal’s waters.

The ‘Angler News South Africa’ (ANSA) podcast with Durbanite Vinesh Soogreem has joined ECR’s award-winning podcast bouquet. The podcast has been delivering fishing updates, tips, and techniques to South Africa’s angling community since 2022, and has amassed over 150 episodes in its archives.

“Having my podcast as part of the ECR family feels like a dream come true. I’m bursting with joy and excitement,” said an excited Soogreem ahead of the launch.

“I’m in utter awe when I think that an idea - that kicked off in the corner of my garage for a really niche audience – is now part of a mainstream radio station – and in fact, the one I’ve grown up listening to!”

Soogreem, and his team of angling experts from around the province, will share real-time reports about the hottest feeding zones in KZN waters every Thursday afternoon, just in time for the weekend.

We welcomed Vinesh Soogreem in studio. Listen to the interview here.
