Write On Radio Day

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is Write On Radio Show day, which is the show I produce and host for the Otago Southland Branch of the NZSA on Toroa Radio.

It airs live at noon on Toroa Radio 1575 kHz AM if you happen to be in Dunedin, or it is live streamed from the Toroa Radio Website if you are unfortunate enough to live elsewhere.

Here's my bits on my guests:


Michael Harlow is a poet and the 2009 University of Otago Robert Burns Fellow. He has recently released his sixth collection of poetry The Tram Conductor's Blue Cap. We'll talk about his new collection, what it means to him to be the Burns fellow, and also be resident in Castleberg House.






Graham Bishop is a geologist, writer and poet and has published seven books. His latest is a biography of New Zealand geologist and telephoto lens pioneer Alexander McKay. We talk about the man behind the book, The Real McKay.

It's already latish Thursday there, but the station is streaming some nice jazz now ... good bedtime listening.

First time I've listened to NZ radio, I might add.

Ah, Peter, the joys of technology. It makes the world a smaller place.

It was a novel experience to hear familiar music punctuated by an unfamiliar accent from the announcer. In fact, the music was not entirely familiar, The program featured an English band I had not heard of.

And I will try to synchronize my listening schedule with your program one of these days, too.
