MFM 30 YEARS: GUY MCDONALD RETURNS TO THE MIC

Loading player...
As part of MFM 92.6’s 30th birthday celebrations, we’ve spent May and June reconnecting with the voices that shaped our campus and community radio station. This ambitious alumni campaign took us across three decades, 125 interviews, and multiple continents, as we captured the journeys of MFM presenters who went on to become media personalities, business leaders, academics, and creatives worldwide.

In this special episode, recorded during the campaign, Sibulele Ndudula sits down with Guy McDonald, one of MFM’s most celebrated alumni. Guy takes listeners back to 2001–2004, when he hosted The G-Spot on weekend drive, scooped multiple station awards, and made Arrested Development’s “Mr. Wendall” his unofficial show anthem.

The conversation explores:
– His most memorable MFM moments and live interviews with icons like Simon Le Bon, Craig David, and Johnny Clegg
– How MFM prepared him for a career that’s taken him to Kfm, Good Hope FM, Magic 828, East Coast Gold, and now Smile 90.4FM
– Life beyond the mic — from Kirstenbosch Summer Concerts MC to wine judging and completing four triathlons in four months

This podcast is part of MFM’s 30 Years of Radio Excellence campaign — a celebration of the people, skills, and stories that make campus and community radio a life-changing experience.

Listen now to hear how a weekend presenter became a South African radio mainstay, and why MFM will always feel like home.
