9:07 Country Life 

This week Country Life meets a couple who have based their international business in a tiny, King Country village.  When their daughter was young they took apart an old deck chair to make her a swing. Now they hand-craft thousands of swings each year which are sold in up-market stores throughout Europe, the United States and Australia.

10:17 Lately

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.

This week's guest on the RNZ Mix Tape is musician and composer Opetaia Foa'i.

Opetaia Foa'i is the creative force behind Te Vaka, the Oceanic music group that provided the sounds and songs of the Disney hit Moana.

He joins Dominic Godfrey to talk through six of his favourite songs and reflect on 20 years of putting Pacific music and stories out into the wider world.
