Jonny starts of the morning with an interview with Serebii about his upcoming album Dimeand play a first-spin of the leading single Might As Well Be Watching. Kaitlyn reported in from Q Theatre to cover the Great Camp-In with Campingcast Tom Sainsbury, Chris Parker, Kura Forrester and Brynley Stent. The comedic cast of the upcoming Silo Theatre production spent the evening sleeping in tents on the Q Theatre stage to get into the zone for the upcoming play (which has very little to do with actual camping and more to do with high camp). Julien Dyne then phoned in to chat to Jonny about the upcoming Circling Sun and Romi Wrightsgig at Double Whammy this Friday. To round off the morning was Ready Steady Learn, brought to you by Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland. Dr Kiri Dell spoke about the Faculty of Engineering and Business School's collaboration with iwi in the Whareponga Valley to address climate change related challenges facing the Ruātoria region of Tai Rawhiti.
