Welcome to my website, dear reader. My name is Gavin Tucker, and I’m a South African radio presenter, author, voice artist, emcee, and podcaster. I am originally from a small town an hour south of Johannesburg. For the last two decades I have made a career in radio broadcasting. My on-air experience comprises commercial radio, community radio, satellite radio, and online radio.

Growing up, I gained the moniker “sh*t stirrer”. This isn’t because I was an upstart – though there are some who rather fervently would support that statement – but because I have always been opinionated.

The advent of podcasts and the ease with which they are made was an invitation I could not refuse. I began editing podcast programs in 2019 and started my own show in 2022 called ‘The Gavin Tucker Show’, which is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google.

This website is intended to be a space where freethought and opinion flourishes, and I created it for two reasons. Chiefly, because it made sense to have an all-encompassing website that brings together the things about which I am passionate. 

Secondly, I am an ardent supporter of free speech. Even when I do not agree with your sentiments, I believe you should have the right to express your views. In long-gone years reverence was paid to freethinking pioneers and defenders of those who speak a truth, not for the sake of offense but to keep the ability to do so sacred. The great George Orwell said, “if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear”. 

I look forward to interacting with you through my blog and on the podcast. Additionally, you’re welcome to email suggestions and topics you’d like me to discuss on the show. 

If You Won’t Say It, I Will is not just a book—it’s a declaration, a challenge, and a mirror held up to society. In this bold and unfiltered collection of essays, Gavin Tucker tackles the conversations most people avoid, peeling back layers of political correctness to get to the heart of controversial issues. Whether dissecting the absurdities of modern culture, exploring the hypocrisies of social norms, or poking fun at the sacred cows of politics and society, Tucker does so with a refreshing dose of honesty.

But this isn’t just about controversy for controversy’s sake—Tucker’s insights cut deep, making readers laugh, cringe, and question their own beliefs, sometimes all at once. From the spread of religious fanaticism to the rise of nationalism, every essay is a provocative exploration of the world we live in today.

Thought-provoking, and often laugh-out-loud funny, If You Won’t Say It, I Will is the perfect read for those who are tired of walking on eggshells and crave a perspective that’s unapologetically real. Love it or hate it, you won’t be able to put it down.
