Echoes of Dissent Ep 22 - My Vote Will Count
In 2020 rapper YelloPain wrote ‘My Vote Don't Count’ convinced voting changed nothing — until a chat with his own cousin. Later he recorded ‘My Vote Will Count’ with Sevyn Streeter. We use both tracks to unpack how NZ's MMP system works. We see why we actually vote for a team and not a charismatic leader or popular celebrity turned politician. We see that the team is elected anyway when you do not show up to vote. We celebrate and look forward to the Roll With Us campaign, urging rangatahi to enrol by 25 October and vote by 7 November. Not voting doesn't remove you from the decision — it just removes your say.

The Paleface Parabola - 09-09-2026
If you thought miracles were over by the end of New Testament, today was a counter offensive in terms of doing today’s Paleface Parabola. It was a total effort that didn’t call for renaming a state or a lake. We had fun in the sun. It was an adjustment to begin the melee earlier than usual and end it in a seemingly brisk hour and 58 minute tour de farce. It required an easy edit and olé! Bob was our Uncle. Music jubilation this week on Oaf without Borders radio. Here’s a sample size… 1 Cassandra Wilson(twice!) 2 Johnny Paycheck 3 King Perry & his Pied Pipers 4 Those Darned Accordions 5 The Deadstring Brothers with the song of the week But wait,don’t leave yet. There’s more. Lend us your ears cause we played you some songs.

Tanglaw Connect Ep 12 - Ready for the World: Building Confidence Beyond the Language
We meet KC Berroya, a PTE Coach at EliteVisa Consultancy Services who helps aspiring Filipino international students prepare for one of the important steps in their journey toward studying abroad—their English proficiency. For many Filipinos dreaming of becoming international students, taking an English proficiency test can feel overwhelming. Beyond grammar, vocabulary, and test strategies, it can also challenge one's confidence and create doubts about whether they are truly ready to take the next step. KC works closely with Filipino students, helping them develop their English skills, understand the requirements of the test, and, most importantly, build the confidence they need to pursue their educational goals overseas. She shares her perspective on the importance of preparation, consistency, and believing in one's ability to learn and improve. We also explore the realities that aspiring international students need to consider as they prepare themselves not only for an English test, but for the bigger journey that awaits them. Join Glady Mabini and KC Berroya as they talk about English proficiency, PTE preparation, confidence, international education, and the first steps toward turning a dream of studying abroad into a possible reality.
