2:20 Great New Zealand Concerts - Nambassa

The great New Zealand concert takes a different shape this week, instead of just one, we reflect on a series of festivals from the late 70s and early 80s. Known as Nambassa, the festival ran over a number of days in 78, 79 and 81, in and around Waihi. Its focus was on peace, love and harmony and has been described as New Zealand's Woodstock.

3:10 Feature Interview - James Bond Music

It's not just martini's shaken but not stirred that are quintessentially James Bond. With each of the 24 Bond films spanning 50 years comes a theme song that sets the scene for the film and the year it was made. Two Stanford University professors have analysed the Bond themes, from Shirley Bassey's classic "Goldfinger" in 1964 to the new Sam Smith song for Spectre, the newest James Bond movie coming out in New Zealand on November 22nd. Their book, "The James Bond Songs: Pop Anthems Of Late Capitalism" argues why  theme songs don't just set the mood for a Bond film but also tell a story about the evolution of pop music. 

3:30 Our Changing World - Alison Ballance

Every year Whaingaroa Harbour Care grows and plants 120,000 native plants along streams and waterways around Raglan's harbour. Most of these riparian plantings are on local farms, and Alison Ballance meets farmers David Peacocke and Craig Rowlandson, and Harbour Care's Fred Lichtwark, to find out how cleaner streams mean more fish in the harbour and better farming.
