On-Air with Darren

Did you hear The Hits 90's Bus Tribute to Australia Day?? Crocodile Campbell helped bridge the gap between New Zealand and Australia... including Kiwaussies (Aussies living in NZ). Here's Croc Campbell with a heartfelt hand of friendship between our countries.. because we're all mates.

Tina Cross has released 'Paradise Coast' -- a song about towns on The Coromandel Peninsula. Here's the song as performed by Tina at Pauanui Sport and Rec Club on Saturday.

It's now official, Buckingham Palace has released a statement confirming Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now engaged. Apparently it all unfolded whilst they were roasting chickens. Now that's romance.

Over the weekend Donald Trump tweeted that he would probably win TIME magazine person of the year... to which TIME tweeted BZZZ Wrong! Meanwhile Ella Williams DID actually win Hauraki / Thames Coromandel Sports Person of The Year for 2017. You Go Girl :)

Richie is Darren's neighbour and a pilot for Air New Zealand. He's still flying LA to London then back to go fishing in Tairua. What a life ! Betty has a similar story - she's a flight attendant for American Airlines and still happy to help customers at 80 years old. What's her secret ??

The locals in Tingalpa Brisbane are not happy about a new KFC store opening.... except this one guy who is pretty keen on fried chicken in his suburb.

We love feedback on social media, especially when it's positive. Sometimes we need to deal with nasty comments....

So 2 sumo wrestlers walk into a bar.... not really, this happened - they got into a fight which involved anything they could throw at each other including a microphone and karaoke machine.

Jo-Anne George is a gorgeous lady from Melbourne, Australia who paid $200 to see Stevie Nicks at Rod Laver Arena. Venue security spotted her dancing (as in having a good time) and promptly removed her from the concert because dancing was not allowed.

Tess Nichol is a reporter for the New Zealand Herald. She's decided to get fit in time for summer, so she's off to a 6 week boot camp. We think her 'end of day' thoughts are very similar to ours :)
