It's a Thursday morning and we try and fail to have some Political Commentary (thank youuu, technology), Jim Nothing swings by the studio for a kōrero about In The Marigolds, Tim wades through the media soup in Mediabatt, and Natural Ange is here! Whakarongo mai nei.

This is the full version of Casper’s interview with Auckland mayoral candidate Efeso Collins, of which an abbreviated segment was played on the Thursday Wire.
Efeso Collins is currently a councillor for the Manukau Ward, and his campaign for mayor has been endorsed by Labour, the Greens, and the similarly aligned local body group city vision. His flagship campaign policy is making Auckland's public transport fees-free.
This week on The Green Desk, Frances catches up with Jess from Reparation Studio to talk about her mahi and vision for the future of fashion in Aotearoa.
Standing in for Marama Davidson who was attending a Dawn ceremony for Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori, the other Green Party co-leader James Shaw has a kōrero about his re-election as the co-leader, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and the removal of the Covid-19 Traffic Light System and changes to the mask mandates. Whakarongo mai nei.
It's Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori, and I use this as an excuse to talk about the interconnections of Polynesian culture, specifically between Maori and Samoan languages. My friend Balamohan Shingade also comes into the studio to talk about his work in Hindustani music as well as give us a live performance.
