This week on the biggest show on the radio! Callum welcomed co-host Priya Sami, fellow bandmate (from Dateline) and friend (from life) to play songs and count down the biggest hits of the week! The theme: sexy sexy sexy songs, including music from Jai Paul, Victoria Monét, Air and the soundtrack to Drive My Car. 

This is another of our weekly segments, where Producer Alex will speak with the Deputy Leader of the ACT Party, Brooke van Velden, discussing the hot political topics of today and tomorrow and how one of our most important minor parties feels about them. 

Today, we discussed the Solomon Islands - China security agreement as well as alleged human rights abuses by Russian forces in Ukraine.

The New Zealand Blood Service has called for those with A Positive Blood to donate as soon as possible to replenish reserves and to help save lives.

Over the weekend, a severe blaze broke out across the Awarua-Waituna wetlands, burning 1000 hectares of the land. The fires have highlighted a need for the Government to implement climate protections for the wetlands as it acts as a major carbon sink and contains a unique ecosystem.

Trishil spoke to Tom Kay from Forest and Bird to discuss the impact of the fires, and policy that can be implemented so the wetlands can be protected.
