8:30 Spotlight
Led by bandleader and animator Finn Scholes, the Auckland alt-pop group 'Carnivorous Plant Society' have just released a new Album 'The New King', filled with lush, orchestral jazz pop influences.
And during the tour to promote the Album, the band took time out to stop at our studios for a live session with RNZ's Tony Stamp.

9:07 Country Life
Country Life looks at a new berry to add to your smoothie: the snowberry.
Also in the show, Laura Douglas has set up a tourism venture in Kingston that gives visitors to Queenstown the chance to experience a taste of the country-side, and we hop off a backpacker bus in Murupara and see what a toursim venture is doing for the local community. Photo: Pixabay

Lately with Karyn Hay is a late night radio show on RNZ National, with an eye on live events, an ear for music, a great sense of humour and a genuine interest in people and their stories.
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.
This week's selector is Sandy Mill, voice you would have heard on many records and advertising jingles. But seldom on her own. She speaks with Yadana Saw about why it took nearly three decades to finally release her debut EP A Piece of Me
