8:10 The Hump

The Hump is our Wednesday night Quiz Night where we take a dive into the archives of Nga Taonga Sound and Vision for some audio gems and we want to see if you can identify them.

8:30 Window on the World

Some thought Covid-19 would give our planet a breather while many of our movements and industries were restricted but there are worrying signs that in some parts of the world exactly the opposite is happening. 

9:07 The Americans: US Election 2020

Every week between now and the US presidential election, three experts in US politics, history and media from the University of Auckland, all from the USA but currently happily living here in New Zealand, will take us through the systems, the history and the precedents, and try to explain why things might be happening the way they are.

9:40 Tanu Gago

Tamaki Makaurau's annual week-long festival celebrating Auckland visual arts and artists kicks off this Saturday and one of the many excellent exhibitions you can enjoy as part of it is a collection of visual poems by artist Tanu Gago - who also happens to be the co-founder of queer Pacific Arts Collective Fafswag, as well as a photographer, producer, film maker and queer activist.

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.

11:07 Inside Out

Nick Tipping hosts a journey through the jazz spectrum playing favourites, standards and new releases along the way. The latest in trombonist Conrad Herwig's series of "The Latin Side of..." albums features the tunes of Horace Silver.
