Obscure Rock

Hosted by Eddie and Glen. In this episode of the Audio Archive I play tracks from bands that you will have never heard of. Mainly from the 1970's these bands never went on for one reason or another. I'm offering a small prize (of my astonishment) if anyone is familiar with the following groups; Rockets, Trigger, Rough Diamond, Topaz and Trickster. We also present the wild and weird musical stylings of the mighty Root Boy Slim and Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias which has to be heard to be believed!

Aggie and Mave

Morgan and Justin speak with Aggie and Mave about their show “Bits in Pieces,” a comedic exploration of gynaecological health, bodily misadventures, and the humour found in navigating challenging medical experiences. They discuss using comedy to demystify and destigmatise topics often left unspoken, sharing personal stories with openness and levity while inviting audiences of all genders into the conversation. Aggie and Mave talk about bringing both light‑heartedness and honesty to difficult subjects, their aim to make the show meaningful as well as funny, and their plan to involve audience volunteers in a period and endometriosis simulation as part of the performance. Aggie also speaks about running the Engine Raw comedy night in Titahi Bay, a koha‑based monthly show designed to create an accessible and welcoming space for local performers and audiences.

Heta Dawson

Morgan and Justin speak with Heta Dawson about his show “The Koro Chronicles,” exploring family life, long‑term partnership, Māori identity, and the humour found in everyday observations. Heta discusses shaping the show around experiences as a husband, father, and grandfather, drawing comedy from cultural contrasts, generational change, and the challenges of ageing. He talks about the development process behind the hour, the influence of real‑life moments, and building material that combines personal storytelling with broad relatability. He also shares the origins and community role of Poppy’s Comedy Club, hosting performers in an intimate South Auckland space and supporting work‑in‑progress shows for emerging and established comedians.
