What could be more festive than The Beths? After Rolling Stone named Happy Unhappy the song of the summer, (no big deal, right?!) Liz joins Mikey to talk about what their summer looks like. And it's safe to say it's looking like A Very Beths Xmas this year, ooooh nice.

Phil Hartnoll, one half of Orbital, dials in to chat with Mike about how excited he is to come back to little ol' New Zealand for Splore at the beautiful Tapapakanga Regional Park. After his last show here with Underworld (very very good), you'd be silly to miss out on tickets to Splore.

Joanna and Mike take a trip down memory lane looking at all the venues of New Zealand music's past. Backstage Passes is a memoir to all the homes of new, local and alternative music in New Zealand, and all the untold stories of New Zealand live music venues.

Yes, that's right, 95bFM has been bringing you the best for nearly 50 years now and we want to celebrate at 95bFM GOLD with some of bFM's longest standing DJ's. Mikey and Slave talk Public Enemy, Snopp Dogg and hip hop over the years, join us 'cause other stations are still shit.

Sean James Donnelly catches up with Mike to talk his latest project, Miniatures, a series of upcoming releases. Lucky for us, SJD gives us the ~world premiere~ of the first track to be released, Dying Breed, and wants to know what we think (and yes, we think it's very very good). 

I/V w/ Gareth Shute: November 29, 2018

Gareth Shute joins Mike in studio to revisit some of Tāmaki Makaurau's iconic music venues from the 1950's and 1960's. Thanks to Audio Culture, you can check it out here and here, where Gareth has mapped it all out for you.

Wed 21 Nov 2018

Chelsea Jade joins Mikey in studio for a catch up, talking about songwriting, moving to LA and their last encounter over teacups *ahem*. Chelsea's exploring the art of songwriting and producing, post completion of her first full album, and hot-off-the-press news of an Auckland show sellout. But you can always buy flights to Christchurch.

I/V w/ Dave Mulcahy: November 16, 2018

Flying Nun Records are releasing an extra special, and expanded edition of an iconic 90's album, Tiger, by Superette. Lucky for us, we've got Dave on the phone to have a chat about how special it is to be part of a reissue. Safe to say, Mikey's stoked to be chatting to his old pal about a band he adores. Aww.

I/V w/ Kenji & Frank: November 15, 2018

Kenji and Frank from Yoko-Zuna join Mikey in studio following their pop-up art show over the weekend and ahead of their album release tour. Their new album, Voyager, drops tomorrow and features artwork by Lyle Hawthorne, which will also feature in the show?! Talk about multimedia, definitely not one to be missed. Tickets here.

We're talking food, not the tastiest place to eat, or the trendiest veg in season, but what kind of social, environmental and cultural impacts does food have? Aaron Maclean, the instigator of Stone Soup Syndicate, talks about decolonising your palette, the impact of the fishing industry and hey, you can grow your own veges from your own backyard (because we can all afford those, right?).
