One of the very first things he said was pointing out how many languages it
was in, and the show featured a long segment with a South African
contributor talking about contributing to both the English and Afrikaans
Wikipedias and about the Wikipedias for other South African languages, and
about cross-cultural issues.

Reasonably speaking, what on Earth more than that are you demanding for an
English-language radio show broadcast on an American radio station?
