This week, Sam and Geneva took a look at the self-titled debut album from American "techno-rock" group Garbage. Released in 1995, Garbage found success molding elements of rock and dance music, a style that saw them land a song in the 1996 Romeo & Juliet film remake.

Is the Green Party out of touch with Pacific people? Well, AUT journalism lecturer Richard Pamatatau seems to think so. In an article written for E-Tangata, Pamatatau says the Greens do not do enough to reach out to Pacific voters and that the fact only two Pacific candidates are on the list is a reflection that the party is indeed out of touch. Pamatatau says the Greens have much to learn about engaging with the Pacific population, and the list placing of Leilani Tamu (20) and Teanau Tuiono (19) is evidence of that. In the article Pamatatau also claims that Green delegates were given a special instruction by the party's general secretary to ensure 22-year-old Chloe Swarbrick secured a top place. Reporter Sam Smith spoke to Pamatatau about his claims.
95bFM reporter Oscar Perress was lucky enough to talk to The Green Party's Chlöe Swarbrick this morning about the expansion of the Piki mental health pilot programme. He started by asking to bring us up to speed on what Piki is and what form it currently takes.
This week Sam takes a look at the third studio album from British-Irish Celtic punk group The Pogues "If I Should Fall From Grace With God." Released in 1988, "If I Should Fall From Grace"molded the best aspects of punk and traditional Irish folk music and is now generally considered one of the best British albums of the 1980s.
