Over the past few days I’ve been feeling rather sad about the announcements of NZPA and TVNZ 7. It has been tough to see that more voices in our media are being lost.
But I cheer up whenever I listen (online) to a community radio show that you probably didn’t even know about.
For a community radio show it has pulled in some pretty big guests like Te Radar, Roger Kerr (of the Business Roundtable), Economists Bernard Hickey and Rod Oram, Political columnists Chris Trotter, Matthew Hooton, Bomber Bradbury and Colin James, Auckland mayors John Banks and Len Brown, New Zealander of the Year Ray Avery, Rocket Man Peter Beck, League Legend Stacey Jones, Former Governor General Dame Cath Tizard and Aotearoa Republican Lewis Holden.
Now you are wondering, with guests that good, why haven’t you heard about it? Well wonder now more. Ladies and gentleman I introduce to you the David Frost of the Labour caucus, David Shearer.
The show is live Thursdays at 9.05am on Thursday or listen online [link has been fixed]
You’ve got my attention, but the “listen online” link doesn’t work for me.
A great piece by Bryan Gold today, and he mentions the demise of local content

The correct link is:

“Frost of the Caucus” … I expect that’s what Damien O’Connor would have experienced today …
Thanks Arthur, I have fixed the link now.
Thanks Arthur. That works for me.
