This Sunday on Standing Room Only, your arts and culture radio show from 12.30pm Mark Amery is standing in for Lynn Freeman. Before the 1 O'clock news Simon Morris looks at children's television on the one-year anniversary of Heihei, TVNZ's Netflix for kids, and considers the new Chills documentary on At The Movies. Suitably for New Zealand music month our musical theme is the music of Shayne Carter, as he releases his memoir Dead People I Have Known, and Mark also talks to Bic Runga, currently on a residency at the reopened Christchurch Arts Centre. We also have a focus on museums: we head to Tairawhiti and Kaikoura to talk about biculturalism in the museum, and talk to Seb Chan from Melbourne about harnessing technology for new museum experiences. After 2 Phil Nicholl is our guest on The Laugh Track, and then we talk to Arcade Theatre Company about Dunedin theatre a year on from the closure of the Fortune Theatre. Finally Mark speaks to Tracey Slaughter and gets her to read from her cracker poetry book that takes inspiration from Karen Carpenter and all things '70s, Conventional Weapons.
