Zoë is your captain today, and she's unflappable in the face of fire alarms and a relentless barrage of benevolent behaviour (so many prizes!). On Isthmus'n That with Desley Simpson, the Deputy Mayor speaks to Zoë about the proposal to reduce senior roles in council, and consultation opening for Auckland’s Long Term plan 2024-2034. Mel Parsons dials in to talk about her new single with an accompanying music video, Little Sadness, from her forthcoming album. Stage Direction is with Angela Yang (performer) and Cindy Yunha Jang-Barlow (Creator/Director), talking about their show I Don't Wanna Dance Alone. We listen to Short Player from Hunter where he speaks to Leonard Powell about his new record, Slow Mover. On Ready Steady Learn, Dr Kathryn Bradbury from the School of Population Health, is in to talk about her research into diet and climate change. Whakarongo mai nei!
