Someone's got to plan your summer for you, right? Else you'll just be drooling in a puddle of warm piña colada, cursing the sun for its powerful burn potential. Simon says: pop on some sun protection and head down to the Auckland waterfront. He and the team who book Silo Park have a line up sorted that's capable of keeping you happy all summer long. Check out the events on offer HERE.
Have a good Auckland Anniversary Weekend, did you? With Laneway Festival, the Harbour Bridge all lit up and a bunch more other events taking place, how did His Worship spend his weekend? And _what's_ hidden underneath Albert Park?
This week for Wire Worry Week we focused on LGBTI issues and spoke to the Executive Director of Rainbow Youth. We also looked at the plans to reopen the Albert Park tunnels, a new exhibition looking at South Auckland music, the unfortunate experiment and lots more.
New plans are in progress to reopen the main tunnel that runs under Albert Park. Bill Reid is hoping to open the tunnel as a walking and cycleway connecting Victoria Street to Parnell. Sam Smith spoke to Reid about the project.
Today is the first day back at uni for Auckland uni students and it’s a busy day on campus. All of the uni clubs have set up their stalls in the quad and Albert Park in the hopes they’ll get some new sign ups. Mary-Margaret went to ask some of the people at the stalls about joining clubs at uni and what it can add to your uni experience. She started by asking the student running the netball stall how many players are on their netball team.

Television extraordinaire and absolute nerd Sam Sinnott joins us in studio to discuss Marvel Comics' Legion, featuring Parks and Rec's Aubrey Plaza and Downton's dashing Dan Stevens. Rejoice! This one superhero thing is not only good, but it's so good you can watch twice. Delicious.
