5 Breakfast

The Team battles it out in a game to see who remembers what happened this week.

The Côte d’Ivoire tour heads north to Korhogo, where the pace, landscape, and culture of the country begin to shift in powerful ways. Guiding this part of the journey is Ahmed, who introduces listeners to the cultural heartbeat of the Senufo region through the people, traditions, and daily life that define the city. As he walks through Korhogo’s markets, food culture, craft tradi...

The Côte d’Ivoire tour arrives at one of the country’s most extraordinary landmarks: the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro. Rising above the city with towering columns, stained glass, marble, statues, and an immense dome inspired by St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, the Basilica is more than a place of worship, it is a symbol of faith, ambition, history, and n...

The Côte d’Ivoire tour takes a more personal turn as the journey moves beyond landmarks and into the perspective of the people who truly shape how the country is seen. The conversation shifts to Olivier, an Ivorian photographer whose work captures the textures, moods, and quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed. Through his lens, listeners gain a deeper understanding of how Iv...

Nick Hamman wants to see where people that listen to 5 Breakfast have been to in Africa.

Formally introduced and welcomed at the Mayor’s...

Nick found himself in the middle of the city’s street energy - food, noise, colour, people, movement - and somewhere between soaking up the atmosphere and pretending to be a man of the peo- ple, he decided he needed a football jersey.

Nick Hamman arrived in San Pedro  and somehow found myself in conversation with Miss San Pedro, which is exactly the kind of thing that only happens when 5 Breakfast goes on tour.

HEADLINE: MAN USES PENIS TO [BLANK] DOWN THE STREET. Presented by Thabo, this segment delivers a humorous and unique take on the weird, wacky, and risqué news of the day. It adds a playful twist to current events, making news consumption entertaining

Who is the giant forged in rhythm, a man who carries continents in his cadence and rebellion in his chest?  He moves like a war drummer in designer shades, speaks like prophecy over basslines, and built an empire where heritage dances with swagger.

Each day a buzzword is announced, and 5 questions are asked to a listener, all of which will contain the buzzword. BUZZWORD: | EASE

What happened on this day in history.

Good morning from Côte d’Ivoire, where the air is warm, the streets are wide awake, and Abidjan immediately makes one thing very clear: this city has main character energy.  And naturally, the first proper cultural stop had to be the most important research fa- cility in any city: the street food.
