Johnny sat down for a chat with the international man of mystery Nikki Nair about his nimble, percussive footwork EP "Majestic Animals" on Hyperdub Records. A fascinating chance to talk to a prolific voice in contemporary dance music, he muses on how to find your unique palette as a producer in the modern age, and the tradeoffs between releasing more vs less.

This week's show focuses on Belle and Sebastian's second studio album If You're Feeling Sinister, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Features tracks from across Belle and Sebastian's '90s output, including a few tracks from Tigermilk, which is also celebrating its 30th anniversary. Also includes songs from influences like Nick Drake and Rose McDowall, contemporaries such as Tindersticks and Teenage Fanclub, and artists inspired by Belle & Sebastian like Camera Obscura and Arcade Fire!

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science this week our experts Professor Sebastian Leuzinger and Dr. Syrie Hermans spoke to us about why small dogs live longer, how trees know when to stop growing, and the potential impacts of jetlag on birds.  For our weekly catch-up with National MP Dan Bidois, News Director Castor asked about the election result, impacts of the overhang strategy, and possible coalition agreements with Opportunity.  And they spoke to national secretary of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union, Wattie Watson, about the organisation's planned upcoming 10 hour strikes.

For Spaced Out this week, Kaitlyn Martin joins Smashton and Big J to chat about The Voyager twins, The Golden Record and the Leonid Meteors.  Thanks to Te Whatu Stardome

This Saturday saw an election with one of the most unusual results in the history of MMP - a right-wing majority spurred by National’s 42 electorate seats despite Labour receiving the largest portion of the party vote.  The overhang strategy as showcased here is, at least under the preliminary votes, promising a government to National, ACT, and NZ First despite not receiving a majority of votes.  The special votes at the end of this month, however, threaten to change the story entirely. If some seats flip over, we could rapidly end up in a situation where Opportunity decides who ends up in government.  To discuss the election result, the overhang strategy, and potential coalition agreements, News Director Castor spoke with National MP Dan Bidois.

This week on Dear Science our experts Sebastian and Syrie chatted with us about why little dogs live longer than big dogs, how trees know when to stop growing, and if birds experience jetlag.  Thanks to MOTAT - Home of Powerful Play!
