7:12 Looking after Stranded Migrant Workers and Tourists on Waiheke Island.
A Budgeting service on Waiheke Island is keeping its migrant workers going with help from civil defence until they're allowed to work again. Almost 250 migrants were on the island when lockdown began - they have been getting food parcels from the Waiheke Budgeting Service and the budgeting service wants the Government to include them in the emergency benefit category.
Amelia Lawley, the service's manager joins us.

9:07 Spitfire: The People's Plane
Episode 7 - New planes, new rules.
Ramping up Spitfire production requires another new factory. Bigger, better, full of cutting-edge machinery and the best workers in the business. But it's a catastrophe - one that nearly costs Britain dearly.

Lately with Karyn Hay is a late night radio show on RNZ National, with an eye on live events, an ear for music, a great sense of humour and a genuine interest in people and their stories.

After 11, on Inside out, Nick Tipping checks out some of the tracks on Wellington pianist Leonardo Coghini's debut album - a huge 3-volume set, consisting entirely of solo improvisations recorded in one day in 2019. We also hear some classic bossa nova from Stan Getz, and the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra.
