Echoes of Dissent Ep 27 - VOTE.NZ B4 25 Oct Echoes of Dissent Ep 27 - VOTE.NZ B4 25 Oct YelloPain’s “My Vote Don’t Count” and his change of mind “My Vote Will Count” (featuring Sevyn Streeter), frame this episode of Echoes of Dissent: why people stay home on election day, and why the decision gets made either way. We weigh campaign promises, from Chicago’s satirical “Vote for Me” to the US midterms, ask whether we vote for a leader or a team, and we promote the “Roll With Us” campaign urging rangatahi to enrol at vote.nz before 25 October, so they can vote in the 7 November election.

The Paleface Parabola - 14-10-2026 The Paleface Parabola - 14-10-2026 This bruised warrior is this post away from piling up the zzz’s, aka achieving a nocturnal night move, aka sleep. It was a beautiful autumn evening to make radio noise for your entertainment dollar on this Wednesday, October 15. So we did. The Mystery Man and I lobbed music and off mic banter for our show within a show, and the Big Guy bore witness to our shenanigans at Studio A. Just some of those shenanigans included at our Oaf Without Borders radio two-hour tour de farce of word, sound and power on display, featured power anthems by some of the biggest and the the humble starring the following (because we don’t discriminate). The Sun Ra Arkestra, Leon Bridges, The Electric Flag, The Elmer Gantry Velvet Orchestra, and Kim Gordon from my treasure chest - and the Mystery Man went Americana on our arses, with Steve Martin. We then escaped by the light of the autumnal silvery moon to presumably play another day from the Good Ship Free FM 89.0 out of Hamilton NZ, and out of sight to the average postmodern boy and girl.

Where Home Lives Ep 3 - What I Know Now - Czech Where Home Lives Ep 3 - What I Know Now - Czech Kdybych tehdy věděla to, co vím dnes, odešla bych znovu? Když jsem v devatenácti odjížděla z nově vzniklé České republiky s jedním kufrem, plánovala jsem být pryč šest měsíců. O více než třicet let později už tahle otázka není tak jednoduchá. V posledním díle se podíváme na to, jak se náš pohled na vlastní rozhodnutí mění s časem a věkem, na lidi, kteří nám chybí, i na životy, které jsme nikdy nežili. A také na to, že i správné rozhodnutí může něco stát — a jak tyhle ztráty přijmout, aniž bychom kvůli nim litovali rozhodnutí, která jsme udělali. Listen
