Morning Glory with Fern

Kia ora koutou,

After two weeks hiding in the library writing assignments, it feels great to be back!

On Morning Glory today: the mellow psychedelia of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Toro y Moi and Misha Panfilov before, heading into the deeper and dubber sounds of Uffe, Fritz Wentink and Sub Basics. 

Thanks to show sponsors The Tuning Fork! 

Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason is joined in the 95bFM studio by actors Alex Tarrant and Niwa Whatuira, who star in the new local docu-drama Sgt Haane. Directed by Tearepa Kahi, the film tells the true story of L. Sgt. Haane Manahi, a soldier in the 28th Māori Battalion, covering his life, legacy and his company's critical attack on a fortified Axis post in Tunisia during World War II. Tarrant and Whatuira tell what it was like stepping into such big shoes, how they prepared, and what perspective can be gained from the powerful new film. Sgt Haane is released nationwide on April 30, with an additional 10 days of commemorative screenings from April 20-29, including Anzac Day.

Thursday host Emma Gleason chats to Te Whanganui-a-Tara-based folk artist Ali Whitton about his cosy new album, Between the Forest and the Stars, which is out today.
