Building Brands That Stand Out Building Brands That Stand Out Standing out online has never been harder, and that’s exactly where Matriarch Media comes in. In this episode, I sit down with Emma and Kate, the founders of Raglan-based marketing agency Matriarch Media. Together they help businesses turn messy ideas into clear strategies, and powerful storytelling. For Emma, starting the business came from necessity. After becoming a mum and realising how few work opportunities in Raglan truly fit family life, she decided to create something of her own. Together with Kate, a commercially minded marketer, they created Matriarch Media. Tune in to learn what it was like for Emma and Kate to build a creative agency from a small town, and what according to them are the biggest mistakes businesses make with marketing. How To Make It Work is produced in Raglan by Annika Stricker @xannikayasx @stories.by.annika and broadcast on Free FM Listen
Echoes of Dissent Ep 1 - The Diggers Echoes of Dissent Ep 1 - The Diggers They said the earth was a common treasury — for that they were beaten, their homes destroyed, and their dream crushed. In 1649, a ragged band of ‘Diggers‘ took over St George's Hill in Surrey, challenging private property, growing their parsnips, carrots and cabbages. Demanding a world without bosses or landlords. We dive into the radical history of the Diggers movement, led by Gerrard Winstanley, and ask: how did a 17th century protest song about digging up common ground become an anthem against today’s inequalities? From the chaos of the English Civil War to modern housing crises, unemployment and food banks, we explore why this ‘World Turned Upside-Down’ moment is more relevant than ever. Listen
The Paleface Parabola - 15-04-2026 The Paleface Parabola - 15-04-2026 Full disclosure – I actually like a couple of the artists that now dwell snugly in the 2026 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, albeit while I realise that the Rock and Roll of 2026 has little to nothing to do with the Rock and Roll I grew up with. While the likes of Steppenwolf, NRBQ, Los Lobos, Jethro Tull, and Mose Allison sit idly by, the bogosity of Billy Idol is rewarding. This world we live in it seems to me is a sandwich I have to send back. So what can a poor boy do? Our small individual act of solidarity is pure and simple. The Big Guy, 3 de, The Mystery Man, and the Free fiends of 89.0 roll out this week’s Paleface Parabola – the quest from which we returned changed yet essentially the same. To wit:The Treniers, Piano Red, The MC 5, Joey Ramone, and Lynyrd Skynyrd raise heck among the other clamour. It’s more lively and more trouble than ants at a picnic. Listen

Back Porch Bluegrass - 14-04-2026 Back Porch Bluegrass - 14-04-2026 A broad range of the bluegrass genre in this episode of Back Porch Bluegrass, from the rather ‘rocky’ Dierks Bentley to the solo performance of some fine finger-style guitar from Doc Watson. In between we have Mike Compton playing a previously unrecorded Bill Monroe tune, A del McCoury classic, and some ballads from Iris DeMent. NZ’s own Hamilton County bluegrass Band play an Alan Rhodes tune, and Jimmy Martin sings of his home state, Tennessee. The Nashville Bluegrass Band, Here Today, and the Stanley Brothers round out the programme. So much to enjoy! Listen
