Following the announcement that Bill Direen had become an Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi Laureate, Andrew Schmidt joins the show to discuss his extended bio, published on Audio Culture.
Nick catches up with Director Taratoa Stappard to talk about his debut feature film Mārama.
Stalwart of the music scene Chris Matthews (Children's Hour, This Kind of Punishment, Headless Chickens) joins Nicholas to discuss his Songwriter's Choice picks on Audio Culture.
This week in the stack we celebrate birthdays of Joe Sample and Rick James. RIP Sly Dunbar. It's forty years since Janet Jackson's Control dropped, so that's in the mix too...
Otherwise it's the usual - papering over the cracks between Brazilian boogie, Turkish psych, bit of Latin, jazz-funk, soul, whatever else made sense at the time. Three hours from the crates as usual.
