Rachael talked to Bianca Rocca and Toya Webb about their show 'Working Title', on at the George Fraser Gallery. Theo was in studio and played some Korean experimental music from the Bulgasari community. He also played some commentry from John Waters, the director of Multiple Maniacs.
Music can be a pretty unifying force, especially for the geographically isolated. Kiran talks to Mikey about music critic David Keenan's first novel, This Is Memorial Device, which evokes this idea while portraying a fictional post-punk band in '70s-'80s small town Scotland.
Alex picks a show Mike's had on the brain for ages - the '70s crime drama Quarry. With an antihero whose story spans the Mekong to the Mississippi, Alex gets in behind to make some bold claims of quality.
Migrant exploitation has been a prominent issue for the last few of months with several protests by community groups that lead to labour launching an immigration review.
Aotearoa Tongan Response group is one of the community groups involved in this movement, advocating for the Pasifika community in particular. Rawan spoke with the group’s organiser and community leader, Manase Lua.
They spoke about the state of migrant exploitation, especially his experience with Pasifika migrant workers. I also asked about his thoughts on both National and Labour’s response to this issue and what policies and actions need to be taken.
Today on Ready Steady Learn, Cheng-Huan Lu is up in the studio to chat with Milly and Rosetta about his research in enhancing diver safety by using a wearable physiological monitoring system. Whakarongo mai nei!
Oto and Jaycee spoke with Tāmaki Makaurau singer-songwriter, Reia Guess, and played 2 hours of music by singer songwriters and dreampop artists from the Asian diaspora.
