This week Sherry spoke to Green party co-leader James Shaw.The taxpayers union recently announced that the Green party held the highest spending on flights. (Green Party list MPs spent $9816, compared to New Zealand First's $8059, and National's $7332, and Labour's $6499). This has brought about some criticism of the hypocrisy and irony due to the Green party’s stance on climate change, and minimising the carbon footprint. James responded to these criticisms, and also spoke on Coronavirus responses from the goverment and panic buying as NZ increases to 5 cases of the virus, and the recent annoucement from Conversation Minister Eugenie Sage on Pest Free 2050.
Mike Hadreas, better known as Perfume Genius, is set to release his 5th studio album 'Set My Heart On Fire Immediately' next month. Known for his celebrations of queer identity through glorious baroque pop music; the new album explores masulinity and American music traditions, and comes out of a period where Hadreas has been working with Washington based dance company The YC. Rachel spoke with him about the new album, performing through the body and looking forward to hugging people on the other side of this coronavirus mess.
