The University of Auckland's Dr. Shane Lavery, from the School of Biological Sciences, talks Pearl and Tess through his research on the genetics and population of the dugong. The mammal that lives underwater and has a similar resemblance to an elephant, is hard not to fall in love with, but unfortunately the population is declining. Dr. Lavery talks us through some of the causes so hopefully we can protect his magical mammal.
Welcome to the mid-week show! The Mind Trench is back as per usual with the bees knees and elephant sneezes. Rachel speaks to Savina Fountain and Aubrie Mitchel from BIG FAN about their programme Ignite, a new initiative for rangatahi wanting to enter NZ music scene. Whakarongo mai nei!
Welcome to the Wednesday-Monday-what-day-is-it show! Short weeks tend to throw us off. We spin brand new tracks, and on The Mind Trench, Rob Bollix impersonates elephant seals (as well as telling us a whole bunch about them, too). Rachel chats to Neive Strang about her new single Living In Two, and her upcoming show at Whammy Bar. Batanai Mashingaidze talks to Rachel about Dakota of the White Flats,a punk anarchic noir play for rangatahi. Whakarongo mai nei!
