THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING right over for a HUGEBABY of a show on 95bFM Jazz Show on 95bFM with LilParsnip (aka DJ Sassy) and Mr F (aka LonelyBuffalo)!
Mr F played THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME with a GLORY BOX of acid jazz, trip hop and Burt Bacharach. I said what I said!
It was smooth, it was pointy, it was groovy and it was hot!!! He really was THE JACKAL of the airwaves today!
On today's show I am joined by my pal Bikyu to give a very broad overview of pop music from Taiwan/T-Pop. Bikyu provides some insights as to how the pop music of Taiwan has responded to various sociopolitical climates, diaspora, and indigenous language revitalisation. If you want to delve deeper into Bikyu's selections, they have curated a larger playlist on Spotify here. Bikyu has also provided reading material for some context! Thanks to Living Goodness, The Tuning Fork and Auckland City of Music for supporting Morning Glory <3

People Against Prisons Aotearoa have been advocating for this prisoner, and yesterday went public about Corrections’ treatment of him. Mary-Margaret spoke to their representative Emmy Rakete about the situation.
