WATCH: Relive 7 of John Maytham's most memorable moments (and rants!)

Best of John Maytham

John Maytham is a one-of-a-kind broadcaster.

Those who’ve been tuning in for years swear by him, never missing a show.

And for the newcomers? Almost all agree he’s one of the most informed, sharp-witted voices they’ve ever heard on the radio.

As the year wraps up, we thought it’d only be fair to showcase seven of Maytham's most memorable 'passionate moments' (or, as some might call them, 'rants').

From elections to MK party shenanigans to the madness of daily life, Maytham had plenty to say.

1. Baby on board: 'Why should I care?'

2. 'I thought I'd take the opportunity to apologise to all the young men and women who over the years have been tortured by the sound of my voice'

3. 'At what age does it become inappropriate to buy a pair of pre-torn jeans?

4. Scholar transport tragedy: 'Why does it require these occasional terrible accidents to remind these people living in comfort... that scholar transport is grossly inadequate?'

5. Violence in the UK: 'I wonder, what it is that makes one person, somebody who is prepared to, willing to, desirous of stamping on somebody's head because that person is different?'

6. Jacob Zuma's return: 'I wonder how much trouble is he going to cause'

7. 'The NHI Bill in its current form is disastrous!'
