 PhD candidate at the Faculty of Engineering, Annecy Bal, is in for Ready Steady Learn to talk about her research testing New Zealand state highway bridges constructed pre-1965 to see how they will behave in the event of an earthquake. Whakarongo mai nei!

Blind Mango Chutney presents ‘Random Acts of Jazz’ this week from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 2020s. There’s Les McCann and Les Nubians, Arooj Aftab, El Truento and Ndegeocello - more genres than you can stab a jazz chord at.

First time back in teh saddle for a bit - some classic oldies, like On The Beach, but also a bunch of fresh as brand new tunes from upcoming albums by Waxahatchee, ISMAY, the quite awesome Chatham County Line, Sarah Jarosz and more. Also, a few tracks off Calexico's Feast of Wire to get you a long to the show in a couple of weeks.

The whole team is back on board for the first time in 2024!
