Joel spoke to Marshall Lorenzo about his upcoming, award-winning solo sketch comedy show, Baby Gorgeous. This is the second run of the show, after its original run earlier this year in both Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Whanganui-a-tara. The show stars Lorenzo himself, who has written and also produced the piece. As well as this, Lorenzo has quite the CV; having written Canada’s Drag Race, and being the former head of the Canadian comedy award-winning troupe, The Sketchersons. They spoke to Lorenzo about Baby Gorgeous, and what people can expect.
Tuva'a talks to Sam V, one of the judges for the 2024 Stand Up Stand Out(SUSO) initiative established by Auckland Council initiative, in partnership with Auckland Live, Rockshop and Auckland UNESCO City of Music.

Tuva'a has returned! Featuring Flicks 'n' That with Steve Newall, an interview with Sam V about the recent SUSO finals and puoro from artists playing at the Waiata Mai fundraiser for What's Cooking.
New Zealand’s stance on Israel’s war on Gaza, for many foreign policy experts has been anything but clear. Foreign minister Winston Peters has called for a humanitarian ceasefiirie in the UN General Assembly but has been reluctant to recognise a Palestinian state.
However, the government has had no qualms about deploying Naval personnel to the Red Sea to assist the United States in combatting the Houthis, whose illegal attacks on shipping vessels have been carried out in opposition to Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza strip.
Oto spoke to Professor Robert G. Patman from the University of Otago to discuss New Zealand’s ambiguous stance on the war in Gaza, and the steps we should take to clarify our position.
Nick Rattigan, aka Current Joys was kind enough to have a chat about his new single "Lullaby For The Lost", as well as their upcoming album "East My Love" (due out on October 11th via Secretly Canadian), an Americana-esque journey exploring love, trauma, heartbreak and spiritual renewal. Think a warm, comforting hug after a hard day.
(A message from Lou - although this interview was live, I did edit it as I may or may not have forgotten to turn my mic off at the end. Silly me!)
Three years ago, the kaumatua hauora research team from the James Henare research centre from the university of Auckland, met with a number of Kaumātua and elderly Māori from the Waikato region to discuss the experiences of Kaumātua in healthcare facilities across Aotearoa.
The study found that Kaumatua largely had unpleasant experiences in healthcare facilities, that they felt misunderstood by Pākeha healthcare professionals, were placed in mixed gender wards and often times left neglected.
On top pressing concerns regarding the health disparities between Māori and non-Māori, the study prompted discussions about opening Māori led hospitals, which would be hollistic centres run by Iwi and Māori organisations operating with a kaupapa Māori approach.
Oto spoke to Associate Professor of Social Sciences at the University of Auckland Marama Muru-Lanning to discuss the concept of Maori hospitals and the steps needed to establish them.
