International Men’s Day is alive and well in Christchurch where Donald Pettitt and Iain Fergusson have joined in the international celebration. We find out how the Kiwis have developed their own approach. Over a cup of tea locals are asked to describe an important male in their life and the response is inspirational. There is a biker ride and other activities which are part of the celebration. Our guests emphasise that the day is for everyone to participate in and enjoy. Come across the ditch with us. 

November 29: Roadies 
Stuart Coupe… in conversation with Bill Kable

Stuart Coupe provides a backstage pass to the hidden side of the music industry. Roadies are barely visible, black t-shirts and busy doing what it takes to make the rock’n’roll show happen. They are the unsung heroes of the Australian music industry. Stuart covers all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes of the concerts we go to. And it is not always pretty with the strains put on the roadies’ families and their own bodies but the lifestyle keeps roadies on the road and the shows happening.

If you think that you were never any good at Maths you will get a surprise when you listen to this program. Eddie discusses his new book and makes it clear that Maths is for everyone. You will look at the world differently after hearing Eddie as he enthusiastically draws pictures for us without a blackboard and explains the Maths behind our everyday lives.
