RDU Podcast

This week, Matt and Alex have a civil argument over whether or not David Seymour was being a dick in regards to his comments last week about people with “mental and social issues” occupying public housing in Epsom. Afterward Alex walks us through the political chaos unfolding in Italy and what it might mean for the future of the EU.

This week, Jay really winds us up by bringing in an abysmal cover of the most well known song from Matt’s favourate band.

This week, Rachel from Scorpio runs us through the main category winners at the 2018 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.

This week for The Guest List, we have our very own station manager, Simon Claridge, in to walk us through some tracks near and dear to the heart of RDU. Simon picks a moving performance of “Gutter Black” by Hello Sailor’s Harry Lyon, recorded live at RDU. The second pick is a recent, rocking cut, “Tunnel Vision” by Brian Tamaki and the Kool Aid Kids, featuring our sound engineer and Observatory host, Jamie Stratton.

This week, Alex comes in, hat in hand, over his dismissal of legalisation of recreational marijuana use. Also, you might want to brace for some annoying emails.

This week’s chat with Green Party Co-Leader, James Shaw, is all about weed and referendums.

This week, Jay nominates “Go West” by The Village People. Listeners decide it swims because…how could they not!?

This week, Suli tries to convince us that pushing yourself to the point of injury/death is somehow good for you.

This week, Martyn’s picks are “Salaam” and “High Roller” from Kamaal Williams’ new album, The Return.

After playing a relevant George Carlin clip, Matt chats to David about the flack he caught this week relating to his comments about potential public housing development in Epsom.
