1:05 First song with P Diggs

Today for our 'first song' we have P Diggs in the studio with Charlotte to talk about a special performance by Shapeshifter at the opening of the Women's Rugby World Cup being held in here in Aotearoa.

1:15 Heart set on world skating championships in Argentina

One teenager's dream is taking her from Palmerston North to Argentina next month.

Ocean Woolley will represent New Zealand at the World Skate Game Championships in October.

Ocean is taking some time out from her exam break to tell Charlotte about her efforts and how people can help her through her give-a-little page.

1:35 Breaking out of bubbles and getting active while being social - a new enterprise.

Bubbles, lockdowns, social distancing and staying indoors for weeks on end., how alien do those things now sound? We've come a long way since the pandemic sideswiped us in early 2020.

Borders open? Tick. Freedom to fly? Tick. But our adventures needn't take us around the globe - there are other options a little closer to home.

Robert Bruce is the brains behind Got To Get Out -  a social enterprise and adventure group that's all about doing just that… getting out! He talks to Charlotte about his endeavours to get people meeting again as well as moving.

1:45 Great album: Avalon by Roxy Music

Today's link 3 winner will get a vinyl copy of Roxy Music's Avalon, originally released in 1982. It was their final studio album with two stand out hits, More Than This and Avalon.

Each Roxy Music album has been reissued with a fresh Half-Speed cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London. 

2:10 Music Critic: Matthew Crawley

This week Flying Out Records store manager Matthew Crawley talks to Charlotte about new music from Landlords and a track from TE KAAHU.

2:30 NZ Sporting History: The 2000 Sydney Olympics

For this week's sporting history we're going back to the turn of the millennium, the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.

Not a great year for team New Zealand in terms of medals, but one very memorable gold.

Sports reporter Chris Rattue was in Sydney for the Herald - he's here to share his memories of covering the Games.

3:15 Your Money with Mary Holm 

3:35 Nau Mai Town

Nau Mai Town - that's (spell out) NAU MAI - is a RNZ podcast all about Aotearoa Place Names, the good, the bad and the mangled, a podcast produced by Justine Murray.

Paraparaumu is one such name that gets a bad 'wrap', sometimes called PRAM or PARA-PARAM. The name itself relates to a pretty major historical event in the history of local iwi Ngati Toa.

3:45 The Panel with Ella Henry and Peter Field
