Rosetta catches up with our political commentator, Lara Greaves, to discuss the debates of the last week, and the fiscal policies of the upcoming election. Whakarongo mai nei!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Rodney Stehr. His background of Lithuanian and Fijian heritage living in british Columbia stirred a need to see Pacific values, relationships and ways of knowing represented better in research and institutions. "There are parts of yourself that you feel you have to collapse or shut off. I was trying to find a way to bring those parts together." Thanks to The University of Auckland!

Producer Harry was once again all alone. We talked the Mt. Albert candidates debate, the mysterious jandler, and serenaded poor sickly Crawley with some medicinal tunes. Get better soon, fella! Punk rock princess Diana, also known as Laika Rountree, was back in the shtudio to talk plays, and boy have there been a lot of them! Aaaand at the end of this month, the reviewer becomes the reviewed, with Laika putting on their own (spooky) rendition of Macbeth. Get that in ya! Thanks to Basement Theatre. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham called up to talk about the 800th anniversary of St Francis of Assisi’s death. Apparently, it’s been quite the occasion. We also had a very special edition of Singles in Your Area--Lou edition! And holy, these were some smoking hot picks! This week we spun: Ladies Night - Gut Feeling & Gee Tee Vee - Gave Birth 2 A Freak. Ngā mihi to The Beer Spot!

Mount Albert is one of the mostly hotly contested electorates this election, with four candidates each vying for the seats. Frontrunners include Labour's Helen White and National's Melissa Lee, though the Green Party's Ricardo Menéndez March and Opportunity's Qiulae Wong are also contesting the vote. Each of the four primary candidates joined 95bFM journalist Florian Bell to discuss policy and why they believe they can best serve the Mount Albert electorate. Whakarongo mai!

Jenna is up to chat about ‘Partita’ by Barbara Kingsolver, and the clashing of the main character’s individualist desire to actualise her gifts as a pianist against the communist beliefs of her love affair. Discovering a passionate, mature love, both exciting and mundane, it’s about who has access to the arts, and the role art should have in your life. Thanks to Timeout Bookstore!
