The Gambler by J P Pomare 

PI Vince Reid is visiting an old friend when he's offered a case he can't refuse: Why did a respected local woman open fire at a political rally, killing a promising young university graduate? It's easy money, he's told. A sure thing. 

 

Spies and Other Gods by John Wolff 

This spy thriller is set apart from others by being narrated by a kind of collective voice of MI5 - it's the spies watching the spies.

The Mint Chicks are a seminal slice of New Zealand’s indie music scene. 

Fronted by Ruban Nielson and his brother Kody, the noise rock and art punk band swept the Aotearoa Music Awards back in 2007 with their sophomore album “Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!’. 

And now, twenty years on from its release, the album is being recognised at the Taites – receiving the IMNZ Classic Record.  

It’s one of New Zealand’s most respected prizes, and the type of honour Ruban is appreciating more as he grows older. 

“I used to not really understand how important these things are,” he told Jack Tame. 

“I guess it’s like in any job, you’re sort of like, just doing stuff all the time, and then it’s nice to reflect and be like, oh, we kind of like, achieved something.”

Foo Fighters have dropped their twelfth album. 

‘Your Favorite Toy’ is a return to their punk-rock roots. It’s high energy and fast and is the band’s shortest album – beating ‘Medicine at Midnight’ by nine seconds. 

Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the album.

All around the world, people are commemorating Anzac Day.  

Thousands of people are attending the Dawn Services, parades, and other commemorations for the ANZAC forces who died at Gallipoli.  

But something many people may not have done is visit the graves of those soldiers in Europe. This is the first Anzac Day since Kevin Milne visited his great uncles’ graves to pay respects, and joined Jack Tame to discuss the moving experience.
