Episode 14: The Sloppy Pie Pastry Affair

Fukumodo was shunted off of Auckland's FM radiowaves, but it didn't stop the overwhelming sludge of content dripping through the sound mixing desk to our online audiences. Also - Tyler Baikie doesn't like the "soft ravioli" pastry of Irvine's pies.

You'll hear what Nan's most favourite dessert is - we're the first to play the latest single from Marlon Williams - Lewis Black delivers words of wisdom from an old episode of Charlie Brookers' Screenwipe - and Prefab Sprout had another one of their live gigs released from the Beeb again so of course we're playing a couple tracks from that!

Keria (KMTP) has a kōrero about music and a much anticipated gig with D.C. Maxwell on Saturday! Whakarongo mai nei! 

A nice chill show. I shamelessly plug my spotify playlist 'ponsonby road cafe', my dad makes a song request and the listeners tune in for a good vibe!

To discuss welfare policy for rangatahi on a wider level, in response to not just the National party’s recently announced plan but welfare proposals from across the political spectrum, Casper spoke with Zoe Hawke from E Tipu E Rea.

Over the weekend the National party announced their latest policy plan to shift young people off of the jobseeker’s benefit.

The policy includes the provision of dedicated job coaches to beneficiaries, a thousand-dollar bonus for young jobseekers who enter into and stay in work for a full year, as well as potential sanctions for those who fail to follow their prescribed plan.

For Casper'[s weekly chat with National party MP Dr. Shane Reti, he asked him about the policy, how it proposes to help young beneficiaries and how exactly it might function.
