The Mixtape: Bret McKenzie

From Music 101, 4:00 pm on 14 March 2026

Bret McKenzie first won the world over as one half of musical-comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, turning deadpan humour and deceptively sharp songwriting into an international phenomenon. Alongside Jemaine Clement, Bret went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, and took home the Best Original Song Oscar for his work on 2011's The Muppets. He's just released his second solo album, Freak Out City, and joins Kara to share six favourite songs.
