Former CapeTalk host to get interviews

CapeTalk celebrates its 25th anniversary today.

Lester Kiewit spoke with former CapeTalk anchor, Lisa Chait, about her journey with CapeTalk and what she’s up to now.

CapeTalk is celebrating its 25th birthday and taking a trip down memory lane with some of its past presenters.

Chait introduced The The Lisa Chait Showafternoon show which took place between 1pm and 3pm.

She recalls how it was harder to get people to do interviews during her time at CapeTalk.

It wasn’t as easy to find them as it is now… we were literally finding numbers, finding publishers, phoning people and when we got them it was just incredibly exciting to get the interview because it was unique… There was a rush to interview them!

Now she is doing a project called Stories from life where she interviews people to tell their personal lives.

As a hobby I started a project called “Life Stories” where I just had this thing, you know, where you sit around a table and a grandparent or an elderly parent [would] tell their story… I would interview people and it just grows and grows, especially during isolation – films, books, audios about the families and they are really beautiful and we have done over a hundred of them and we are very proud of the work!
