Jonny chats with The Nomad about his first single release in ten years - Momentum ft Mich​è​le Ducray. Exciting stuff! The single is the first new material from The Nomad in a decade and we hope there's more to come. Whakarongo mai nei!

The Minister of Health has admitted that Aotearoa’s Health System is in a ‘crisis’. There are vast staff shortages, many staff raising issues of burnout, long wait times, delayed diagnoses and an increase in telehealth services. 

Last week Te Whatu Ora announced voluntary redundancies for admin and advisory staff, which follows the axing of 268 roles from the organisation's commissioning team. 

For our weekly catch up producer Evie spoke to the ACT party’s Simon Court about how the government is addressing the crisis the health sector faces while continuing to cut roles. 

They also talked about how the government is dealing with the current energy crisis, in which shortages of power are pushing up industry prices. This includes the proposed import of liquified natural gas. 

But she started off by asking him about Te Whatu Ora’s voluntary redundancies.

This week's show featured new music from The WAEVE, Phoebe Rings, The Smile, Jamie xx and more. 

Father's Day Special. Dad songs, one way or another. Good dads. Bad dads. Storytelling dads. And a live performance from Hoop in honour of the Ministry of Folks upcoming Neil Young tribute night. Neil's pretty 'dad' too.
