Deputy Paul just about loses his shit with the amazing Reb Fountain dropping by the studio, playing a couple of songs and having a chat to promote her EP Hopeful/Hopeless and the upcoming show at the Wine Cellar where it was recorded. There's a New Riders of The Purple Sage inspired trip through some California hippy country folk rock that includes The Grateful Dead, Natural Child & The Magic Factory among others - as well as the Deputy's continuing push on Anna Tivel, a sneaky Lyle Lovett tune and a some heavy lyrics from Joe Pugg.
On the eve of his new performance piece, Your Heart Looks Like a Vagina, Dom Hoey drops in to talk to Mike about the differences between straight up performance poetry and anything involving goddamn props and lighting. Combining poetry, comedy and theatre, Dominic's one-man-show covers his personal journey from developing Ankylosing Spondylitis (a rare form of arthritis), through being bedridden, to eventually reclaiming his life. Plus some laughs. Promise.
Filmmaker Ursula Williams drops in to the studio to talk documentaries, art installations and her place within the 2017 Loading Docs initiative. As one of 10 directors each making a three minute short on the topic of 'diversity', Ursula introduces us to her subject: Auckland artist John Radford... and his sleazy real estate alter-ego Ron Jadford. With his work focussed on the destruction of inner city domestic architecture, Radford asks: what will exist where you live 100 years from now?
