Takunda and Aniket join Rachel and Sam in the studio to chat about being part of the series Rediscovering Aotearoa. Discussing decolonisation, Takunda's spoken word poetry in the Reo episode, and Aniket's medical education in the Hauora episode, as well as how watching this series impacted them. A moving and important watch.
Oto played a variety of experimental Bumiputera Hip-Hop and Psych-Rock while Jaycee was recovering from a flu he contracted from Oto the week before.
Oto also chatted with Aliya, a former member of the NiceGoblins collective here in Tāmaki Makaurau currently working as an independent filmmaker in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Jenna's just read Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu and highly recommends it. If Charles' work on HBO series, Westworld, isn't enough to entice you to read this book, perhaps winning the Fiction prize in the National Book Awards for 2020 will.
Oto and Jaycee talked to Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Wee about his latest single Taman Desa Tebrau, an homage to the neighbourhood in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, that he grew up in.
