Blockbuster rolls at midday, Saturday... East FM

Phil from Farm Cove

Lights, camera, action… Johnny Andrews – Johnny be good – is a pop-culture fanatic, movies and music in equal measure, and the man from the popular My Movie DNA podcast is tomorrow’s guest DJ spinning film soundtracks on the She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time) on East FM.

A while back, Johnny invited me to be his guest on My Movie DNA, which was a very enjoyable show podcasts.apple.com... - talking the cinema experience.

To reciprocate, he’s guest DJing and focusing on movie soundtracks, an area, it’s fair to say, he’s an expert. If you follow him on social media, you’ll know he’s almost a daily consumer of cinematic creations, and soundtracks, on vinyl, top of his set-lists.

In between on SBR, there’ll no doubt be chatter about the songs being played, and fun and learned banter on the worldly subjects of the day. Projecting in technicolour.

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, 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. And this Saturday, Johnny Andrews is taking us to the movies, musically. In fully Dolby-enhanced, hi-fi quadraphonic sound (probably). Cut! – PJ

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name

- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab
