Spinning vinyl on East FM, tomorrow Saturday from midday

Phil from Farm Cove

Have dug through the record collection so we're spinning vinyl on an earlier showtime for The She'll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, tomorrow at midday to 4pm (NZ time) on East FM.
Mano o mano, what a week it has been, so to ease away from the intensity of the times it's appropriate we revel in some vinyl treasures such as David Bowie's Station To Station of 1976.
Saturday's She'll Be Right Show with PJ will directly follow the Budget Breakfast with Tony King, which starts at 8am. The Retro NZ Top 40 Countdown will start at 4pm, running through to 7pm when the Beagle Everitt Conspiracy blasts off.
East FM is East Auckland's legendary community-powered public service radio station broadcasting on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She'll Be Right - it's all about the vibe; it's all about the groove. - PJ... Monday I have Friday on my mind...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
