We set forth this week on a musical journey throughout the islands of Aotearoa - traversing its high mountains, volcanic plains, swiftly flowing rivers and beautiful South Pacific coastline. Accompanying us on this meander is a collection of strummy, folky, poppy and jangly sounds, creating a space of reflection, fun and movement through a beloved landscape. 

Also it’s Radiothon time at 3MDR with the 2024 edition “But Wait, There’s More!”. Radiothon is 3MDR’s annual subscriber drive and fundraiser to help keep the lights on and the airwaves humming. Head to 3mdr.com to subscribe.
