The Durban launch of the book, My Radio Memory: Listening to the Listener, happened at Ike's Books, on Florida Road on Tuesday, and also drew friends and others, who like Sewlal, who have been awed by the airwaves.

The book is a compilation of anecdotal accounts of 100 people from around the country reminiscing about their affinity for radio, a splash of yesteryear adverts and some reflection on 12 radio stations that are no more.
