10:05 Sasha Fisher: Transforming aid in East Africa
Sasha Fisher was 21 when she co-founded Spark Microgrants an organisation turning the traditional aid models upside down.
Now 26, she's a Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur, and has developed Spark into an Foundation spanning three countries: Rwanda, Uganda and Burunda. The Spark model has enabled 111 East African communities to choose, develop, and run their own aid projects, with a start-up grant from Spark, and facilitated by local university students. Sasha Fisher says local ownership of the projects is what has led to high sustainability, longevity, and female participation rates. Sasha dreams of seeing communities put in charge of the aid and development process worldwide, which she says will bring more communities out of poverty.
She is on a US Embassy-sponsored visit to New Zealand to speak at Festival for the Future and the Young Leaders of the Pacific conference.

11:05 Music of Public Image with Marty Duda
When the Sex Pistols imploded in 1978, Johnny Rotten wasted no time in forming a new band. Now operating under his given name, John Lydon, he formed Public Image Ltd with guitarist Keith Levene, Jah Wobble on bass and drummer Jim Walker. The premiered with their first single, Public Image in October of '78 with a sound not unlike the Pistols. But PiL put everyone on notice with their second album, Metal Box. With their stripped down dub-influenced sound…heavy on hypnotic bass lines and Levene's scratchy guitar lines…PiL seemed intent on tearing down punk and inventing something completely new. The result was what was eventually known as post-punk, a wide-ranging tern that included like-minded bands like Wire, Gang Of Four and Joy Division. Lydon and PiL continued through the 21980s with an ever-changing lineup, scoring their biggest hit in 1983 with This Is Not A Love Song. Lydon eventually disbanded the act in 1992 and went on to reunite the Sex Pistols. Surprisingly, Lydon revived the PiL name in 2009 with several members from the mid-80s. It turns out not to be a one-off and their second album, What The World Needs Now, is released this week
