The newest season of Alone Australia has launched and this time they’ve sent their ten survivalist contestants to the South Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

The show’s executive producer Riima Daher talks through some of the big changes on Alone this season, while contestant Jason Allwood shares he's rethinking the notion of community.

Then Australia’s most remote rock band, Desert Stars drop in to play some proper desert rock live in the studio.

Plus for Word Up, Desert Stars’ frontman Jay Minning shares some of his language — Pitjantjara.
