This week is 100% percent NZ music week here at 95bFM. To celebrate, I also sprinkle 100% NZ memes into the show for a bit of Kiwi flavour. Also on the show a few of the boys from the 'Frothy' surf rock band Double Parked, come onto the show to talk about their current tour and latest EP release.
The term “one-in-100-year event” is often used to describe extreme weather events such as last year’s Cyclone Gabrielle. However, the term can generate misconceptions about probability and change the way the public reacts to such events.
Producer Castor spoke to Lecturer of Emergency Management at Massey University’s Joint Center for Disaster Research, Doctor Lauren Vinnell about the term and the consequences of its use.
School Strike For Climate New Zealand held a rally today outside Parliament to call for meaningful climate action to be taken by the country's leaders in the first 100 days of government. News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Ethan Reille, the media representative for SS4C, about what the group's demands are.
Just in time for nervous present buyers, Kiran's here with a great (if not highly contentious) Christmas gift recommendation for anyone who takes even a passing interest in the ol' liquorice frisbees*, The Vinyl List: 100 Albums You Need on Vinyl and Why.
Voom are headlining the 100% GOOD Xmas Shindig at the Leigh Sawmill this weekend, and Buzz popped into studio to chat to us about it. With two tracks in the NZVAPOR Top 95 Countdown, and many years of 95bFM good times under their belt, we are certainly stoked to hear that there might be some new music on the band's horizon...
Jonny is joined by The Spinoff's senior writer Alex Casey and staff writer Tara Ward to countdown the remaining 20 of the Top 100 New Zealand TV shows. Alex and Tara have been covering television for The Spinoff for a decade now, and detail some of the tribulations the faced in curating the list such as a lack of proper archival of NZ's film media. If your favourite show didn't make the list you should head along to The Spinoff's live event on Thursday 31 October at Q Theatre, where Casey will be joined by Kura Forrester, Rhiannon McCall and other Spinoff writers to delve into the weird and wonderful (or forgotten) shows that missed out.
