Last night Rachel and Zoë were at Spark Arena to bring us the scoop on the 2022 APRA Silver Scroll Awards Kaitito Kaiaka.
The Silver Scrolls has a special place in the calendar of New Zealand music awards as it celebrates the craft of songwriting across genre and medium. Whakarongo mai nei to find out about all the glitz, glamour and showbiz that went down at the ceremony curated by Rob and Cilla Ruha.
We share a chat that Stella had with Matt Berninger, frontman of The National about their two recent records (The First Two Pages of Frankenstein and surprise album, Laugh Track) and their upcoming show in Auckland, Saturday 24 February.
For our weekly catch-up with the Labour party Wire host Caeden chats to Arena Williams about the budget and accommodation supplements.
For City Counselling they talk about a range of recent local government announcements with Councillor Shane Henderson.
And they talk about the potential new English curriculum with Dr Claudia Rozas.
Producer Rachel spoke with co-author of the “Entrepreneurship: why women quit” study, Dr Janine Swail, about the perceived flexibility of entrepreneurship for women versus the harsh realities they face.
She also spoke with Professor at the University of Otago, Alex Gunn, to discuss the implications of the lack of funding in early childhood education centers. Following that, she spoke with the CEO of the Early Childhood Council, Simon Laube, about their plans to assist the centres and address the funding gap.
