Kia ora bFM angels. With many injuries to the morning glory starting XI, Eli the substitute was here to play for 2 hours. 💞 Welcome to spring.
We started the show off with French goodness Papooz. Dabbled in the Future Islands side project The Snails. Kicked the show into another dimension with some Loefah. Rolled through some Puerto Rican punk by Los Saicos. Then threw it way back with some Car Seat Headrest and Modest Mouse. I even stole a song from Stinky grooves (Nekta). And closed out with a big ~~Remix of the Day~~ from Vegyn.
Spotify (yes slightly problematic) playlist for your convenience.
💞 Thanks so much for tuning in you lovely humans.
💚 A rat pack of substitutes play a selection of delicious tunes for three hours. Chaos fluctuates and the quality ebbs and flows, but the fun and energy is constant. Whakarongo mai nei! Everything from shoegaze to jungle, this show has you covered. We'll see you the next time a monarch passes away. 💚
As Aotearoa holds one of the highest rates of family violence in the world, with an act of family violence reported every four minutes to the police, community workers are in urgent need for extra support out in the field.
Papakura marae in south Auckland is taking a frontline, ground-up approach to tackle this nationwide issue, trialling a ground-breaking family violence support and prevention programme.
Marae Chief Executive, Tony Kake, has enlisted the support of Sir Ray Avery, Founder of the charity Help@Hand trust, to trial a domestic violence support programme to protect his frontline social workers as they go about their work in the community, giving them instant access to help if they need it and ensuring all his frontline staff are safe from harm.
Technological solutions to fill the gap in mental health care are alluring. However, they can be regarded as a cheap, scalable way to solve the knotty problem of mental distress, without requiring investment in people, communities and broader causes of mental ill-health such as racism, poverty or the way we design our cities.
Joe speaks to Kaaren Mathias, a Senior Lecturer from the University of Canterbury, on the matter.
Mindful that NZ Music Month is currently in progress, Def Jim delivers a mixed set of local and international content, the former focused on experimental luminaries Trioglodyte, the late Neill Duncan with Devils Gate Outfit and the late Murray McNabb, and the latter including an outstanding new release from John Zorn's New Masada Quartet plus sundry musical gems past and present.
In the USA, gas cooking has entered the culture wars with the way you cook becoming a part of your political identity. Professor John Tookey is a professor at AUT in the school of Future Environments and he discusses the issues around gas cooking, as well as whether we could see a political battle over the way you cook here in Aotearoa. Simon began by asking Professor Tookey what alternatives there are to gas cooking.
