We shake off the dust from Saturday's fantastic Student Radio Network Awards with a little bit of Fashun with Penelope Noir, a chat with Xanthe from Recitals about their upcoming tour, Loose Reads with Manon, and Red Dead Redemption with Justine Sachs! Whakarongo mai nei! 

This week on OurActionStation, Spike speaks to Hayden Eastmond-Mein from the New Zealand Drug Foundation about their petition calling for cannabis decriminalisation and pardoning in Aotearoa.

Spike speaks to Jason Attewell from Stats NZ about the 2023 census including, for the first time, questions about gender and sexual identity.

Xanthe from Recitals phones up to kōrero about their upcoming tour celebrating their debut album Orbit I. Whakarongo mai nei!

It's been a weekend of wild weather here in Tāmaki, and Manon's been tucking up with a good book she can recommend called Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel. Also, this is your friendly reminder to get to Christmas presents sorted now! Cheers, Time Out! 

Back in the saddle for the first time in a while. Frothing over the upcoming Jenny Don't & The Spurs show at the Piha RSA and playing all sorts of tunes, new, old, familiar and strange.

We try but don't quite succeed to talk to FleaBITE about their new book, make it to 16 on the pancake count and work through quite a lot of requests!

This week's show featured new music from Soaked Oats, Weyes Blood, Brockhampton, Shame and more. Sam also pays tribute to Public Image Ltd guitarist Keith Levene who died this week. 

A lovely morning to return on. Always a pleasure having Mellor in studio - hope you're feeling the love.
