This week Def Jim features selections from recent releases by John Zorn, Jeff Parker, John Scofield and Thumbscrew interspersed with gems plucked from recent and not-so-recent albums such as 1971's Hooteroll? by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.
A report from the Child Poverty Action Group has found measures to address child poverty are leaving behind Māori, Pasifika, and disabled children as well as children of solo parents.
The report signalled that despite some progress, child poverty rates in Aotearoa mean we are still failing to uphold the legal rights of the child under the articles of the UN convention.
Caeden spoke to Colleen Brown, disability spokesperson for the Child Poverty Action Group about the report and what it means for Aotearoa.
Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, some hyperpop, and a chat with Marshall Lorenzo, the writer, producer, and star of the award-winning solo sketch comedy show, Baby Gorgeous. Whakarongo mai!
💚 A gentle beginning with things picking up as the show goes on.
