The Alternative Morning Show

A morning of tunes with flowers in their titles as a farewell to summer and hello to winter! News of the day, weather, tides, and on this day in history, both globally, locally and nationally. Entertainment for your start to thew week. Thanks for joining me for your start to the week.

Join me for some incredible interviews - first with Damian Gordon, RIngleader for Circus Aotearoa for 13 years who's bring the NZ Juggling and Circus Festival to town this weekend; so much happening from workshops, to family shows and an free event at Papahua on Saturday at 3pm. Then I interviewed Kevin, Frankie and Harry from the Raglan Volunteer Coastguards. Everything from what they do, how can we support them, how to get involved and some stories of what can and does go wrong if you-re not prepared for the ever changing west coast!

Thanks for tuning in today for news, weather, local and national news and a bit of what's happening globally - nothing political just interesting stuff! What's happened on this day in history was particularly interesting for NZ but some good snippets globally too. I interview Julia from Neighbours Aotearoa who's platforming a fantastic initiative about Neighbours across the land. It starts with a conversation and simple question - what does neighbourhood mean to you? Find out more and how you can get involved. And last but not lease my playlist for tunes is based around numbers - any numeral in the title and I play it. Don't worry, there were so many I think this will carry on into my theme on Monday's Morning Show.... hahaha!

Thanks for tuning in for a lively morning of songs of colour, interesting news, sports, local and otherwise. This day in history, NZ and worldwide, celebrity birthdays and a word of the day. I talk about what I learned about petrol prices in NZ and the term rockets and feathers - very interesting facts! As always, I appreciate you all for listening and I hope you enjoyed the show and the great 'Songs of Colour' I played for your listening pleasure today.

Join me for the weather, local news, this day in history and some exciting sports achievements and upcoming glories. My musical playlist is around colours so we're shaking Stevens behind the green door, on a yellow submarine, and mellow yellow along the green river floating with 99 red balloons and more. I had a fab interview with Jami who's our Tourism and Events Workforce Development Advisor for Whaingaroa and from Go Raglan ihub with some important panui and conversations she wants and need Whaingaroa to get involved with. It was a very interesting and extremely relevant to Raglan interview so if your in the space for business, connections, workforce opportunities for youth and progression for business opportunities specifically to Raglan, this interview is for you!

Thanks for listening to our Morning Show filled with the weather, news both local and beyond, this day in history facts both nationally and abroad. I interview Colin Chung, the iconic Raglan chef, caterer, author and hospitality consultant. With Fiona McNabb (from the Raglan Medical Centre) they're running two 3 hour workshops at the Community House all about Diabetes. This is a practical workshop with Colin, who's been managing type 2 diabetes for 20 years, making several dishes for you to try on the day with a budget and family friendly ethos in mind. Koha towards the food is all that's asked if you're keen to attend. Let Mike from RCH know to get your spot secured!

Join me for a filled morning show with your news, weather, fun facts on this day in history, and so much more. Today's show features 2 interviews; Louisa Barham, Principal of Raglan Area School comes in for an in-depth chat about all the wonderful things that have happened and continue to happen at our fabulous local kura. Shona Butchart comes in next to let us know of the fantastic movies being showcased at the Old School Arts Centre along with a filled Friday line up of things happening in the gallery and acoustically sweet spot room upstairs.

Join me for an unusual musical journey that plays 2 tunes, but one each from unlikely musical friendships. Lady Gaga and Tony Bennet, Kate Bush and David Gilmour, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson, Elton John and Eminem. It's been a great afternoon and we learn so much more about the great artist. Come along for the ride...

After an interesting start to the day, I've got your local, national and weather news along with some fun facts for the day and a 'this day in history'. I interview the Lovely SHona from the Old School Art centre who will tell us about this week's movie extravaganza and other important things you should know that's happening in the arts and performances worlds.

One hit wonders music along with your news, weather, and this day in history funfacts. The lovely Kay Warren from our local library came in to talk about the great services, clubs and happenings in and around town at the moment.

Join me today for some back to school old school songs and tow very special interviews. First we talk to Dulcie Brunel, who works at our Raglan iHub. All the services and information you didn't know where to find and so much more to know. What a goldmine of interesting and important things to know! Then we have Phil McCabe and Peggy Oki in the studio a little later on to talk about the Ocean Love Festival that's in town for the next month. First screening this Friday is an outdoor one. Listen in for all the details and why you should go see this film "How deep is your love'. A family friendly film for a koha outside under the stars this Friday, and 3 more dates to come.

Our Creative Market just got a little more playful.This morning on Raglan Community Radio, Annika is joined by Evelyn Coulson from Black Sheep Circus Entertainment to talk about the free ‘have-a-go’ circus zones running over summer at the Raglan Creative Market.
