"Finn's Time Travel Adventure! ft. Buzz Moller, Hugh Sundae, Kaitlyn & Tom, Milly & Wilde, and Rick!"
Playlist
This morning was my final show before I leave for university! I had a chill show planned, but unfortunately I was sent back in time (long story) where I encountered T-rexes, pirates, Lee, Rick, Sir Isaac Newton, a couple of aliens and even my own dad (when he was my age).
This is probably the craziest show I've ever had, as it's the first show broadcast partly from outer space.
Huge thank you to Hugh Sundae, Buzz Moller, Yael Trelease, Lee, Kaitlyn & Tom, Milly and Wilde, Rick and Nicola for all their help with the show. And thank you all for listening. I've done this show for 6 years, and there's no show without you guys.
Even though I'll be gone, this show will keep being awesome and fun and lit because all of you will still be here, calling up and having pancakes every Sunday! Meanwhile, I'll be studying space and film, and hopefully having awesome adventures now that I'm a grown up.
Anyway, Lee will be back next week for the Christmas Special, and he'll be taking care of the show for a little while while we find a new host!
Mōrena! Just Joel this morning with 3 hours sleep following the 95bFM Christmas Party! Tune in to hear them struggle through 2 hours of radio! Whakarongo mai!

Ngā Tae Whatu - Woven Dreams is an exhibition by artists Ani O’Neill and Nephi Tupaea, currently on at Tim Melville Gallery.
With both artists being members of the Pacific Sisters artist collective, the exhibition shows five new paintings by Nephi Tupaea, and a suite of Ani O’Neill’s crochet paintings in response.
In placing O’Neill and Tupaea’s practices in conversation with each other – intertwined and weaved together – the space embodies the whanaunatanga that fundamentally underlies the Pacific Sisters’ kaupapa.
Sof had a kōrero with Ani and Nephi about the show, the Pacific Sisters, and their overall practices.
Mitchell McGrath is a Tāmaki-based designer and artist, whose work explores notions of spatial perception through these embodied material explorations of imaging techniques. That is then transferred into works of embodied materiality in spaces, experiences, and objects.
In his current exhibition at Window gallery A VIEW FOR EACH EYE McGrath presents this beautiful luminescent installation of colour and its shifting movements through space. An exploration of these fluxing wavelengths of chromatic colours in relation to our own bodily position.
The colours and form shift, and pivot as one moves throughout the space. A dance of colour that rewards a lengthened viewing—a viewing individual to each eye, person, and body, as one devels into the exhibitions shifting chromatic landscape.
Maya had a chat with Mitchell about the show and overall practice.
