Legendary Aussie flouncer, and crop-top wearer, Kirin J Callinan swung past the studio this morning to chat about his excellent new album Return To Center. It’s a covers album, with everything from Momus, to Ultravox, to PiL, and it was all made in 14 days on gear purchased from, and then returned to, Guitar Center. He's touring New Zealand this week, and playing Galatos in Auckland tonight so grab a ticket asap!!
Excitingly, Billie Rogers, is up in the studio to chat about Girls Rock Camp. A space for kids to come and make music, learn to play instruments and, of course, make their own merch. Rachel chats with Billie about the importance of community and getting the kids out there in the music scene. Plus, with a stellar line-up for the all ages, Girls Rock Camp stage at The Others Way, you better get your hands on a ticket.
Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, chats to Rachel about Hōkai Rangi, tackling homelessness in Aotearoa with a funding boost, and the latest on teachers pay negotiations.
Rob's looking into chakras and reckons his might need a bit of work. Rob teaches us about our seven chakras, what happens when they're imbalanced and how to fix all your problems.
Ahead of Friday's event, All Tomorrows Poets 2019, Suri pops into the studio to read us poem from Courtney Sina Meredith's Tail of the Taniwha and talk poetry in Aotearoa. If you want to catch Courtney Sina Meredith perform alongside some of Tāmaki's other talents poets, such as Vanessa Crofskey, Jeffrey Paparoa Holman, Simone Kaho, and Cait Kneller, you can do so at Time Out Bookstore on Friday, details here.
A little earlier this morning, His Worship fits in a quick chat up in between a busy week. As local body elections draw closer, the Mayor tells us how to register a special vote if you haven't enrolled yet. Also talking about a new recycling scheme, and some nasty comments councillors receive online.
BBC's Years & Years (2019) is Sam's pick for the week, and both Tess and 95bFM's News Director, Lillian, are big fans. Featuring Emma Thompson and Russell Tovey, this series will make you laugh, cry, and possibly have an existential crisis. An intensely good time.
Jenna brings in her favourite book of the year. And with a review like that, what else is there to say? The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, is a fictional novel based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children. Although devastating, Jenna says this is one that you must read.
As we're about to dive into NZFW, Penelope introduces us to another ambassador, Sarah Stuart. As a stylist for television stars, Sarah chats with Penelope and Rachel about what it takes to dress for the TV, styling Mick Jagger and some of her personal fashun tips.
