Few positions require good chemistry like presenting. Without a good bond, the energy (it is an energy thing okay?) can be off for listeners and viewers, sometimes noticeably. Whether it is on television where viewers can tell from body language and such, or on the radio where listeners can pick up on the vibe, good chemistry is non-negotiable.
WHAT YOU MISSED: Sheila Salta and Crysto Panda shenanigans
Here are some radio presenters we think "got it".
Crysto Panda and DJ Alisha
New kids on the block media personality Crysto Panda and DJ Alisha recently joined NGR radio for a mid-morning show. Although the casting process is unknown, these two are household names and their social capital is undeniable. Crysto Panda handles the lifestyle segment while Alisha handles the music. Although it is too early to tell, their complementary personalities are a good sign.

Prim Asiimwe and Little Joe (and DJ Nimrod)
Before she left the Galaxy Evening Rush show, Prim was one of the musketeers with Little Joe and DJ Nimrod. The trio enjoyed a successful ride on radio waves and according to her, "Together we've won awards. We've had the best show in this country." However, it was not always smooth sailing for them.
While their chemistry sprouted a great show, it also weathered some storms. "Sometimes we would feel like fighting or strangling each other. We fight but at the end of the day, I could never have chosen a better team," she said in parting with the radio.
Lucky Mbabazi and Gaetano Kagwa
Their adventures with celebrities, solving their audience's issues, and mad dancing are legendary of the Capital FM duo. The hosts of the breakfast show GaetanoxLucky have stuck together through thick and thin with infectious energy when everyone needs it the most.
