Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason talks to Kiwi actor (and long-time bFM listener) Jay Ryan about his new show, The Ridge, screening on Sky Open, SkyGo and Neon from October 21. A Scotland-New Zealand co-production, the six-part series is a gothic mystery set in rural Aotearoa. The pair discuss the mysterious quality of small towns, why he still loves working here, and how he got his big break right downstairs from the studio by the quad.
'Bloke Of The Apocalypse' creator Charlie Faulks and voice actor Jack Marlin join Emma Gleason in the studio to talk about their new animated series, a father-son tale (with zombies) set in small-town New Zealand. The animated web series won $500,000 in funding from NZ on Air, and it's screening on Youtube now. (You can also see it on the big screen tonight at The Capitol Cinema.)
With the University of Auckland recently deciding to close the creative libraries and move the books to the general library, Elam students and others in the art community felt there needed to be an educational common space to fill the gap left. Lachlan spoke with Kathryn Aucamp about the Samoa House project, a new space for the arts community opening on K rd.
The government has announced 200 million dollars of funding for the housing first initiative in an effort to tackle homelessness. Housing first aims to house long-term homeless people and provide them with a permanent residence. The programme has, until now, been funded by local government. The 200 million will be rolled out over 4 years, with roughly half going towards existing projects and the other half to new developments. Lachlan spoke with Ricardo Menendez-March from Auckland Action Against Poverty about the funding announcement.
The government’s Healthy Homes standards come into effect today, and include a raft of changes covering insulation, heating, and moisture control to improve conditions for renters. State housing, managed by housing New Zealand, has longer to comply with the standards, something groups are saying will harm the health of their occupants. Lachlan spoke with Ricardo Menendez-March from Auckland Action Against Poverty about the standards and Housing New Zealand
