8:35 Tenuous Connections
It's Friday Night so it's time to put on a playlist of music with a loose theme based off an even looser starting point!
9:07 Nights Quiz
Do you know your stuff? Come on the air and be grilled by Emile Donovan as he dons his quizmaster hat.
If you get an answer right, you move on to the next question. If you get it wrong, your time in the chair is up, and the next caller will be put through. The person with the most correct answers at the end of the run goes in the draw for a weekly prize.
The quiz is themed - find out more about tonight's theme on Nights' Facebook page.

10:17 The kiwi creative combining art and sports ahead of the Paris Olympics.
Where do the worlds of sport and art meet?
Pierre de Coubertin, known as the father of the modern Olympic Games, thought of the Games as just that - a unification between sport and art.
Zakea Page aims to capture that essence in a new solo art exhibition, entitled 'Hockey in Motion'', it's showing at the M-Gallery in Paris to coincide with the 2024 Games.
Zakea speaks to Emile Donovan on Nights.

11:07 Postcards from Athens
It's time to travel to the blue skies of Greece with Vasili Vrakas, a music producer born and raised in Athens. Who now calls Wellington his creative home.
Postcards are a journey back in time, a trip to the cool waters and historical ruins, the many clubs he frequented, and the scenes that influenced Vasili as a young man.
He speaks with Maggie Tweedie about his early life growing up in the ancient city exploring the streets with eclectic music from discos, and electronica, to classical and avant-garde.
