In a move that surprised almost no one, Hillary Clinton this week announced she is going to run for President of the United States. Megan speaks with James Robinson, a New Zealand freelance journalist living in San Francisco, and the author of Voyages in America.
Brown face, Victorian music hall, death, and mortality, and failed relationship – Sherilee Kahui joins us to talk about Wellington theatre.
And two years ago, comedian Andrew Watts wasn’t a feminist, and his standup comedy was fairly predictably about how hard it was to get girls to go out with him. It wasn’t that he minded feminists – his wife was one, after all. He just didn’t think feminism was important. That all changed when he and his wife had their first child. The result is his latest show, Feminism for Chaps, which he’s bringing to the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. He speaks to Charlotte Graham.
On the Dial was produced by Megan Whelan, with technical production by Steve Burridge and assistance NZ on Air. Our music was composed and performed by Eddie Johnston, and the cover image was made by Hadley Donaldson.
