Nights for Friday 13 May 2016

7:07 Sonic Tonic
Music with magic and mischief spun into a surreal sensation of mayhem and maybe magnificence.

7:45 The Why Factor
The Why Factor explores Statues and why we put people on pedestals.  For thousands of years mankind has erected pillars of public art. Statues exist across almost every culture. To some they pay homage to gods, to others they are attempts at immortalising man. Their toppling has become a symbol of regime change. They are worshipped and prayed to, idolised and in some cases despised. They are a unique art form that has seemingly never gone out of vogue.

8:12 Nights' Sport - Quiddich
Muggle Emma Humphrey explains the magical but very real sport of Quiddich.

8:30 Spotlight

9:07 Country Life
New Zealand could find jobs for 100 rural GPs tomorrow.  In fact 60 percent of our rural medical workforce graduated overseas. What's being done to lure doctors away from the city lights? Also, we find out what happens when you cross beef cows with North American bison.

10:17 Late Edition
A round up of today's RNZ News and feature interviews as well as Date Line Pacific from RNZ International.

11:07 The Friday Finale
