We have been going for a stroll down memory lane recently to mark 100 years of radio in New Zealand by sharing lots of listeners' memories.

Barbara Mulligan wrote in to tell us that several radio stars from the past are buried in the Karori cemetery in Wellington.

Barbara is vice chair of the group Friends of Karori Cemetery and speaks to Jesse about some of the famous broadcasters, including Aunt Daisy, buried at the cemetery.
