Jade's away for the summer so I've stepped away from the scary tundras of graveyard radio and news to deliver you a lovely mix of punk, folk, indie, dance, and other stuff like that with only a couple screw-ups. Featuring The Entertainment Guide (cheers to Ding Dong Lounge) and the news.
Thanks to The Tuning Fork for supporting the show as always <3

Arno speaks to Haden McRobbie from Te Whatu Ora about New Zealand's smoking rates and nicotine consumption trends, and criminologist Dr Ronald Kramer about National's bootcamp plan for youth offenders.

Arno spoke to University of Auckland criminologist Dr Ronald Kramer to find out more.
Recent statistics for the 2021 and 2022 period shows smoking rates are at an all-time low in New Zealand.
