This week we hear from Jamie Hanton, director of the Physics Room in Ōtautahi about how the earthquakes have changed the landscape of art-making in the city. Plus we have artists Katharine Atafu-Mayo, Kahu Smith and Nââwié Tutugoro in studio to chat about And Then What? at St Paul ST Gallery, hosted by Tautai Pacific Arts Trust. We also have you sussed for Sunday Painter, the Art Guide and heaps of great tunes. Ka nui te pai!
We've surprised the Councillor this morning, one last time before His Worship is back; catching up on the latest in our city and who's letting the dogs out (sorry).
His Worship returns. Reuniting with Mike over his glorious trip to Japan, that ol' (new) city rail link, his wages, and Aucklanders favourite topic; housing. Nice to have you back, Mayor.
Ben Zambo is in to review Shin Godzilla, aka Godzilla Resurgence, a new twist on the classic Godzilla story with a focus on the disaster response side of having your city attacked by a giant lizard.
His Worship talks to Tess about the future of Auckland city's waterfront, can we expect a brand new shiny stadium? And what about smokefree 2025, how's that looking? And wow, all these electric bikes everywhere! Is _this_ the future?
His Worship is talking big plans for Auckland city, as well as his throne, and those heavy, oh so sacred, chains. Covering the costs of Eden Park, new plans for the viaduct and Kauri dieback, are we actually doing enough Phil?
Dr. Kirsten Zemke has taken a listener request from last week, and turned it into a wonderful segment for you all this week. Talking the interesting world of ~feedback~ this week, with The Strokes New York City Cops, Sonic Youth's Silver Rocket and Jimi Hendrix's Machine Gun. As well as Mikey's personal favourite track featuring feedback, but what could that be?
Rain runoff, parades, Safeswim - oh my. And what's all this about Auckland being a UNESCO City of Music? Sounds cool, but what does it mean, your Worship?
Joining us this week on Fancy New Band is Auckland's very own sweetheart, Lucky Boy. We talk all about his musical ventures whilst visualising his performance of the tracks City Sounds and Can't Get Enough through some hazy kaleidoscopic glasses. What a way to spend your Friday morning, thanks NZ On Air Music! ~ ~ ~
Today we're talking the environment, with forecasted sea-levels on the rise, what will happen to our beautiful coastal city? Speaking of beautiful, what about the Kauri tree's around KiteKite falls? Are we keeping those tracks clear? His Worship is on the case, protecting Tāmaki Makaurau.
