'I hope to shake up the YouTube space': Dineo Ranaka set to launch all-new talk show
Media personality Dineo Ranaka is venturing into the talk-show space.
From unsung heroes to celebrity faces, The Dineo Ranaka Show on YouTube promises a mix of inspiration, insight, and entertainment with a fresh take on classic talk shows.
The show will premiere on YouTube on Monday, 28 April, at 16:00 on Dineo's official channel.
She's no stranger to the talk-show format. Now, the seasoned TV and radio personality is preparing for an exciting premiere. The Dineo Ranaka Show (DRS) is set to launch on 28 April 2025, at 16:00, on YouTube via The Dineo Ranaka Channel.
Exploring real-life issues and relatable topics with her trademark "unfiltered perspective," the show promises to bring bold and authentic conversations to a new platform.
Unlike her previous work online, this venture is not a podcast but a traditional talk show with a classic format. Beginning with a modest rollout, Ranaka has grand aspirations of creating an enduring legacy, bridging nostalgia with a contemporary edge.
"I feel this show will grow into something that feels nostalgic yet current and contemporary all at the same time," says Ranaka.
"The DRS will feature a diverse array of guests, shining a spotlight on unsung heroes, tapping into the knowledge of experts across various fields, and occasionally welcoming familiar celebrity faces."
"My experience in broadcasting, especially radio broadcasting, will come in handy where revenue generation is concerned," Ranaka states.
"I hope to shake up the YouTube space and create a name for myself as a formidable talk show host. Right up there with the Felicias, Noleens, Ellens, and Oprahs of the world. It is time I shared with the world my full capabilities in this regard. I intend to give the world ME as I've never been experienced before," she adds.
After some time away from the airwaves, Ranaka made a U-turn and is returning to Metro FM.
She now hosts The Saturday Top 30. She previously shared that faith, resilience, and a newfound appreciation for her craft shaped her return to radio broadcasting.
She says this return represents more than a career opportunity; it's a "restoration and deliverance."
Reflecting deeply on the experience, she adds: "God has restored a new passion for radio broadcasting in me and profound gratitude for the talent He has given me. This return is an absolute anointed reset, an opportunity to do what I do best: make bankable radio."
