The fifth solo studio album from American musician Jeff Tweedy, Twilight Override is packed full. 

It’s a triple album, with a total of 30 tracks, created with the intention of overwhelming the ‘ennui’ that was being squeezed into his life with his own creative works. 

He’s credited the prolific output to his belief that creativity “eats darkness”. 

James Irwin joined Jack Tame to review the album.

Barbara Dreaver is no stranger to a challenge. 

She’s spent the past three decades shedding light on issues across the Pacific – getting locked up in Fiji, threatened in Papua New Guinea, faced natural disasters, and covered military coups and criminal activity. 

An international correspondent and veteran of New Zealand journalism, Dreaver’s faced death threats for her tenacious pursuit of the truth.  

Though she normally shines the light on others’ stories, Dreaver’s now decided to tell her own in a new memoir ‘Be Brave’. 

She told Jack Tame that focusing on her own story has been really uncomfortable, but kind of cool at the same. 

“I’m giving people a look behind the scenes at a time when, you know, media is not really trusted,” Dreaver explained. 

“But I really want people to know just the sort of work and the effort and stuff that goes on behind the scenes – also a little bit of personal stuff as well.”

Did you know that sunrise and dawn aren’t the same thing? Kevin Milne didn’t! 

He made this discovery rather late in life, on a recent family holiday on the East Coast.

Harry Styles has released his highly anticipated fourth album. 

‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally’ follows on from his 2022 album ‘Harry’s House,’ which won Album of the Year at the 65th Grammy Awards in 2023.  

It’s a notable departure from his previous works, with heavy use of synthesisers and electronic elements – inspired, Styles says, by the music and performances of LCD Soundsystem. 

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