Morgan Seal joins us from the Lung Group from the Bioengineering Institute for Ready Steady Learn thanks to The University of Auckland. Morgan's research focuses particularly on inflammation of the lungs due to vaping and the difficulties in researching health impacts without long case studies. Additionally, Morgan discusses how mathmatical models can help map out changes in physiology amongst people who vape, particularly teenagers.
Jonny chats to Nathan Haines (and son Zoot) following the announce of 95bFM Presents Nathan Haines at the Powerstation! It's been 10 years since the last Nathan Haines album, and Jonny and Nathan catch up on everything that has happened between then and the release of the new album Notes. Check it out, and all the fantastic collabs with NZ artists, here. Head along to the Powerstation on Saturday 2 November to catch Nathan Haines live.
Litia recommends Not Evenon Sky Go for Spring viewing! A local production, it focuses on a group of friends/flatties living in Pōneke. Sharply written, the second season is even better.
Dr Kirsten Zemke talks the genre of Phonk, including its origins in chopped and screwed '90s Memphis hip-hop and evolution into Drift Phonk and Brazillian Phonk.
Today Lucinda Bennett about methods for creating quick, yet yummer dinners! Perfect for when the Spring air still feels a little chilly, and you're feeling a little lazy.
Jonny is joined by Isa Seow, a PhD candidate at the School of Computer Science. Isa discusses how the introduction of congestion charges in the busiest cities in Aotearoa may impact individual privacy and conflict with the Privacy Act. Listen back to learn about how the law needs to catch up to developments in surveillance technologies!
Suri from Time Out joins Jonny for Loose Reads today! Suri reviews Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti, an experimental take on the memoir format. In Alphabetical Diaries, Heti alphabetically orders 10 years worth of journalled sentences (with the aid of an Excel spreadsheet). The book is the product of a decade of editing, so that only Heti's favourite sentences remained. Whilst some letters contain many entries, others such as Q only contain one. It's a blend of literary criticism and a peep into an author's most intimate thoughts.
Jonny chats with The Nomad about his first single release in ten years - Momentum ft Michèle Ducray. Exciting stuff! The single is the first new material from The Nomad in a decade and we hope there's more to come. Whakarongo mai nei!
Post-NZIFF, it's time to return to the couch! Litia reviews the third season of HBO series Industry and how it compares to other bingeable series such as Succession. Whakarongo mai nei!
