Our Album Of The Week is Autumn Leaves by Christchurch MC, And$um. So who better to come in for The Guest List than the man himself!

And$um’s picks are “Drive” by Bic Runga and “Jonah 95” by PNC.

Intro track: “Trip” by And$um

This week, Dave from Scorpio Books reviews Jo Nesbo’s novel “Macbeth” – a modern interpretation of the classic Shakespeare tragedy.

For this week’s Sink or Swi, Jay brings in the very recent single, “Out and Down” from Sydney band, Straight Arrows. The listeners are very impressed!

This week, Matt and Alex from The Spinoff look away from the budget for a second to chat about the current state of negotiations between North Korea and South Korea/The US.

Matt talks to Lyttelton sensation, Marlon Williams, about what we need to sacrifice in order to make way for love, New Zealand Vs. Australia, Country Music and so much more!

This week Matt and Tim talk about whether or not you should ever talk to the cops.

This week, Tamsin from Scorpio reviews The Novel The Eight Mountains by Paolo Cognetti

Originally we had planned to have the legendary Terry Tubes from Timaru in today. We ran in to some musical disputes however and Terry left in a fit of rage. After some frantic phone calls we were able to organise a fill in guest, current Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.

The PM’s picks for us this week are Liam Finn’s “Gather To The Chapel” and Tiny Ruins’ “You’ve Got The Kind Of Nerve I Like”

We also get some insight in to how Ardern manages to fit music listening in to her busy schedule.

Matt and Nick trade notes on “Public Speaking” and “Dark Days” and nick teases the upcoming Ed Wood film competition as well as some films that are about to appear on DVD/Blu-Ray.

For this week’s sink or swim, Jay brings us a swingin track, “Thraker” from the ultra obscure Theo Schumann. It’s a Swim, baby!
