Everything you ever wanted to know about New Zealand music (except interesting). It's a 12-episode series funded by New Zealand On Air. We'll cover a whole range of topics from reggae, to improvisational collectives, to the enduring appeal of brass instruments. There'll be a new 15-minute episode each week.

Inside Track 2008 is produced and presented by Tony "it doesn't need a filter, it just needs to be good" Stamp, José "I'm only here because I want to work at Radio NZ" Barbosa and Joe "this is unexampled" Nunweek.

Keep on keeping on.
