Nights for Friday 16 December 2016

 

7:07 Sonic Tonic

Music with magic and mischief spun into an surreal sensation of mayhem and maybe magnificence.

8:12 Twins' Cycle Mission for Mental Health

17 year old twins Roody and Owlsca Ballester are cycling from Auckland to Wellington to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation. We talk to them on the home stretch at Marton. You can follow their journey here and find their fundraising page here.

8:30 Spotlight

Influential Portland trio Dead Moon turned down shows with Nirvana in favour of a twenty-date tour of New Zealand in 1992. They made lifelong fans but also cleared out pubs along the way.

9:07 Country Life 

Country Life this week visits one of Landcorp's larger enterprises, Rangitaiki Station. It has tens of thousands of animals, 20 staff and over 100 dogs. Plus, West Melton fruit grower Peter Sargeant has had to cancel all his Christmas cherry orders because the season is running so late.

10:17 Late Edition

A roundup of today's RNZ News and feature interviews as well as Date Line Pacific from RNZ International.

11:07 The Mixtape

For the latest series of The Mixtape, RNZ Music invites guests to compile a C60 of local sounds, and talk us through their selections. Tonight, NZ House DJ Greg Churchill takes us from Christchurch post-punk era to Auckland dance clubs in a mixtape of his all time favourite cuts.
