Andrew Bishop arrived at 95bFM in 1981, around the same time as his friend Francis Hooper. They both went on to found fashion boutiques and labels, and their time at bFM coincided with a post-punk shift in sensibilities which affected not only music and fashion, but also the belief that bFM's kind of broadcasting could affect those outside of stereotypes. Also, he was in the band Sons In Jeopardy. (Episode 19 Parts 1-2 of 2)

A research commissioned by the Ministry for Women shows that mothers suffer higher consequences than fathers when it comes to work opportunities and pay. The wage difference, which is already 5.7 percent between men and women without children, skyrockets to 12.5 percent between men and women who are parents.
Why is parenting still so gendered in New Zealand? And why being a mother makes you less entitled to a decent workload and pay?
Our producer Lisa Boudet spoke to Gill Greer, the Chief executive for the National Council of Women and spokesperson for Gender Equal New Zealand. She also talked to Dr Jackie Blue, the Equal Employment Commissioner from the New Zealand Human Right Commission.
