A live recording of a panel discussion and Q&A with me and Nick Bollinger, chaired by Jamie Macphail. This took part in Napier at the Cabana as part of the Harcourts Hawke's Bay Arts Festival in October, 2018. Louise Ward of Wardini Books can be heard introducing the three of us. The topic is music journalism and a brief discussion too of the NZ music industry.

A phone interview (recorded in 2015) with the legendary singer/songwriter Joan Baez. We talk through her career and talk protest and activism and also discuss her love of painting. This is the first time I've ever aired this interview. One from the archives.

An in-depth conversation with rapper and writer Tom Scott. We talk about his new project, Avantdale Bowling Club as well as referencing his work from the past (@-Peace/Home Brew) and talking politics, music and writing.

An in-depth chat with Harry Lyon, guitarist formerly of Hello Sailor and Coup D'etat and now - after 50 years in the game - the owner of a solo career, via his debut long-player, "To The Sea". We talk about the wild days of Sailor and the mild days of being on the road as a solo act in their late 60s. We talk about songwriting and the bands from the past, collaborating with Delaney Davidson and the legacy of being in one of New Zealand's greatest musical groups.

An in-depth conversation with Hawke's Bay artist Freeman White. We talk portraiture and landscape, we talk through his early influences (including Phil Judd) and arrive at his time spent working for movies (The Hobbit, What We Do In The Shadows) as well as creating commissioned works for city councils, including giant murals, public art and private commissions also.

An in-depth chat with musician Reb Fountain. We talk solo work, we talk collaborating, from being the backing singer to being out front; we talk, too, of mental health and depression; suicide and domestic violence. We talk about survival. It gets heavy at times, but I feel this is a profoundly uplifting conversation.

An in-depth conversation with songwriter, performance artist and musician Chris Wilson. We talk about his band Gold Medal Famous; we talk about New Zealand music and the alt/indie scene. We get into politics and music and taste and songwriting. It's a big chat. A lot of fun.

An in-depth conversation with actor Bronwyn Turei. We talk about Circa Theatre and her recent 'adoption' as part of the core crew there; we talk TV and her breakout role as "Cody" on Go Girls. We talk about the upcoming "Shortland Street: The Musical" and the preview season of Rants In The Dark which returns in January 2019. We have a big ole chat about what it takes to make it in the world of theatre, about training and focus and the lifelong passion of studying and performing as a trained stage actor.

An in-depth conversation with Wellington-based, Irish-born musician, promoter and event organiser Gerry Paul. We talk through his busy schedule: published children's author, session musician, live performer, promoter and event organiser. Gerry has met and worked with some of music's biggest names. And when he doesn't have a guitar in his hand or isn't wearing a high-vis vest he's usually spearfishing.

An in-depth conversation with Auckland-based DJ, singer, percussionist and songwriter Sandy Mill. We talk SJD and local bands she's worked with including being part of Neil Finn's recent "super choir" and Facebook Live sessions. We talk too of her time in England of recording with the likes of Placebo and performing all manner of roles as a singer from main attraction to making sound effects and singing jingles. We talk about vinyl and DJing, about taste and the role of a supporting singer as well as her recent foray into being the solo star with her debut EP, "A Piece of Me".
