Now that Auckland is in the red setting, Auckland Transport is having to adapt their public transport services to suit the new restrictions with reinstated metro night bus services, increased capacity on individual vehicles and timetables remaining reduced due to fewer people using public transport over summer.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Stacey van der Putten, Group Manager of Metro Services at Auckland Transport, about how lockdown has impacted public transport in Auckland. They discuss moving to the new red setting and keeping people safe with Covid-19 remaining a community threat.
Data from Fitbit smartwatches is being used to provide key information to healthcare providers, in a new study pioneered by University of Auckland doctoral student Ruhi Bajaj.
They developed a prototype app that would allow for tracking of vital signs to be analysed using machine learning and stored in a database, which could then be analysed by healthcare providers to provide early warning signs.
Arno spoke with Ruhi to find out more about the study. Arno started by asking what the hypothesis behind the study is.
In a typically varied set, Def Jim splices gnarly nuggets from old stalwarts of the avant-garde with new releases from the likes of Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Julian Lage, virtuosic guitar in both electric blues and finger-picked trio/duo settings and sundry sparkling album tracks bursting out of relative obscurity before closing out with some classic John Coltrane.
Def Jim returns from his extended Summer break with a total blast of a Jazz Shown featuring a track from each of three brand new releases from the likes of Steve Coleman & 5 Elements, Ava Mendoza and Emily Remler. The latter (which opens the Show) is particularly noteworthy, being a taste of the first previously unheard set from the sadly deceased guitarist Ms. Remler released for 25 years. Naturally there are plenty more delights to be savoured in this Show, such as a piece by 70's UK fusion pioneers Nucleus taken from a multi-CD set released a couple of years ago which exhaustively documents their recording sessions for UK public broadcaster the BBC. Warmly recommended.
Tonight it's all about the breaks - we have special guest P-Money coming thru to tell us about his new website opendrumsonly.com - the place to go to find a catalogue of all the world's breakbeats in one place. We are treated to P's first vinyl set in around twenty years, mashing it up. He will be lugging a couple of boxes of records to The Other Crate record fair 20th September 2025 - along with some serious heavyweight collectors and DJs. Pop thru!
