Steve Hathaway is an educational filmmaker and underwater camera operator whose camerawork features in the first episode of the new Sir David Attenborough narrated BBC documentary series, Blue Planet II. (I _knooow_, right?) Steve's work contains footage, the likes of which has never been seen before, of underwater mammals just hangin' out an' that. Fact! If Mike and Sarah can only contain their buzzing excitement, then maybe we'll get some extra facts out of the man as well...

Chris Farrelly, CEO of the Auckland City Mission, talks to Mike about how the holiday season doesn't always bring 'joy to the world' of all Aucklanders. But with your help, the City Mission can perform some pretty amazing feats of holiday kindness, not to mention ensuring that help is there for those who need it all year round.

Someone's got to plan your summer for you, right? Else you'll just be drooling in a puddle of warm piña colada, cursing the sun for its powerful burn potential. Simon says: pop on some sun protection and head down to the Auckland waterfront. He and the team who book Silo Park have a line up sorted that's capable of keeping you happy all summer long. Check out the events on offer HERE.

Henry, Lewis and Ethan, also known as the mighty Alien Weaponry, are currently busy putting in the hours at the recording studio before a summer of touring and a February release. But they still had time to drop in and school Mikey on the elements, remind us all of the importance of mana whenua, call Don Brash some names, and spread rumours about each other's dick size.

Even when your album's about to drop, you've still gotta make time for the important parts of being a band, yeah? Yeah.
Catch them this New Year's HERE.

Whakarongo, ngā tamariki! Prepare yr earholes, bolt down any ornaments - there's a new bag of funk in town. Co-compiled by our guest Alan Perrott with music fiend John Baker, Vostok's new 'Heed the Call!' compilation is seventeen of the choicest cuts of Aotearoa funk, soul and disco picked from the fertile decade between 1973 - 1983. And who's that on the line from Sydney? Oh, y'know, just cover star and double compilation feature Mark Williams. Ka mutu pea!

No rest for the legendary as we bother Marky 'Legend' Ramone in his hotel room for a phone interview ahead of his Wellington show. Covering a stonking back catalogue in a blistering 38 song set, Marky lets us know what punters can expect in tomorrow night's Auckland show.

Johanna and Kura drop in to talk about the upcoming Auckland Theatre Awards. The awards themselves have long been a theatrical production, but is it all just air kisses and luvvie in-jokes? Or is it a stonking, multi-coloured riot of a night for participants and punters alike? (Spoiler: It's the latter. Most definitely the latter.)
