Stephen "Spling" Aspeling, the host of the long-running film review radio programme Talking Movies on FMR 101.3, is pleased to announce that his show is now being broadcast on Stellenbosch campus radio station, MFM 92.6. Talking Movies is a weekly show that features reviews of movies on circuit, streaming, on-demand or at festivals.

A well-known and respected film critic and entertainment journalist, Spling and his show have been praised for its reviews, insights and ability to give listeners a succinct overview of films worth seeing. Talking Movies on Fine Music Radio is a popular programme with a loyal listenership on a radio station regarded as a bastion of arts and culture in Cape Town. Having broadcast over 500 episodes in 10 years, Spling recently changed the three-review formula to make Talking Movies more versatile, adapting the show to cover timely films, specific movie themes or film events in more depth and without a fixed format.

Wanting to reach even more people, Spling has syndicated Talking Movies to MFM 92.6. Based in Stellenbosch, the home of Stellenbosch University, MFM is a 24/7 youth-orientated radio station covering a radius of 20km to an audience of 35,000. One of the last campus radio stations, MFM broadcasts a variety of music genres and features a number of talk shows and news programmes, covering local and international news and events. Spling is excited to be able to share his film review show with this new audience. Talking Movies will air on MFM 92.6 on the Wednesday lunchtime show at 13:15.

Spling has a long history of radio broadcasting with regular live interview slots and programmes on CapeTalk, Radio 702, Chai FM, UCT Radio and 2Oceansvibe Radio over the years with a host of interviews from film news and obituaries to discussions about his new book, The Essence of Dreams: An Anthology of Film Reviews. While Talking Movies has become synonymous with Fine Music Radio, Spling is hoping to grow the show in the hopes of reaching new listeners within the Cape Metropole, nationwide and even internationally.
