Hello!

Stephanie joins us to talk Jacinda's baby news and what this might mean for representation in politics in the years ahead, and all of politics ever.

Also the TPP or whatever it calls itself was signed to next to no fanfare or opposition. One of the lightening rods for political dissent under the previous administration just whistles home under this one - what gives?

Also, the weather still sucks. Pay equity in NZ and especially professional sport. Mills and Boone romance novels. Good stuff.

Hey!

Sorry for the long wait, but here it is! Our annual end-of-year roundup with Mike from Riot Radio.

2017 was an amazing if puzzling year for music and there is PLENTY to talk about. Witness our bonus length Best of 2017 Spotify Playlist which is only the songs we absolutely couldn't do without. Honest.

Playlist goes:

1st third Dave (Dandy Warhols to UNKLE  feat Mark Lanegan)

2nd third Dan (Japandroids to Warbly Jets)

3rd third Mike (Generationals to Fazerdaze)

As well as being awesome, music has also been very political of late. So this is an episode about that, too.
