Back after yet another hiatus - and it feels good! Thanks for a lovely start to the weekend. A bit of everything as always - a little heavier on the blue eyed soul this morning. Hope you enjoy.

Boy, have we cooked up an end-of-the-week-show for you. On Travelling Tunes we explore the mighty mandolin, and its genre-spanning goodness. Neil MacLeod pops up to the studio to talk about his remix album, which is out today. The Viewmaster tells us about Paul T. Goldman, a docuseries that's only available to see in Aotearoa for one night at The Hollywood Avondale. Stinky Jim dials in to chat about his new project for Race Relations Week, and spins us some new tracks. Whakarongo mai nei!

Today on Various Artists, We go over our wonderful WOMAD weekend! We have a little audio documentary capturing the sounds, sights, tastes and people of WOMAD 2023, featuring the wonderful Joe Wickins from The Thrift Store and every other corner of bFM.
Frances talks to Professor Hinke Osinga from the University of Auckland about how mathematical chaos and weather systems translate into art and craft.
Liam also had a kōrero with the team at 4phase Games, a dev studio based in taranaki working on their first Māori futurist console title implementing Te Ao Māori, Te Reo, and more!
We also have an interview with MEUTE where we talk about marching bands, techno, sunglasses, and jokes about dogs that get lost in translation.
On Friday last week, myself (Frances), Joe and Liam jumped in the car and drove down the West Coast to WOMAD.
WOMAD is an international arts festival. The central aim of WOMAD is to celebrate the world's many forms of music, arts and dance. This year saw a line up with the likes of Youssu N’Dor, Avantdale Bowling Club, Sampa the Great and a whole bunch more.
There was also a range of food, market stalls, and workshops. Interviews were taking place with writers, vendors were selling salt grinders, and local chefs came together to sell food from Venezuelan Arepas to Hungarian Langos.
After pitching some tents in the mud, we grabbed our mics and headed out to enjoy the festival and talk to the people of WOMAD.
