Joel Little started out in a pop punk rock band you might have heard of called Goodnight Nurse.

Then he taught himself to produce music to pay the bills.

In 2013, an album Joel worked on with a little known 15-year-old artist made HUGE waves both here and overseas: Lorde and her album Pure Heroine. 

It set Joel on a trajectory to work with some of the biggest names in the music business, and now he’s bringing it full circle with a passion project called Big Fan to help upcoming Kiwi artists.

Joel joined the show to chat about his career —past, present, and future— as well as the upcoming Goodnight Nurse reunion at tonight’s My Chemical Romance concert.

The Midnight Train by Matt Haig  

When your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop? 

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there. The chance to re-live the moments that meant most. To see what kind of person you really were. 

For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life. On his honeymoon in Venice. 

Before he gave it all away. 

He wishes he could go back and live differently. But to do so risks everything . . . 

  

Honey by Imani Thompson  

Yrsa is in a funk. She’s bored of her PhD program, bored of her research on Afropessimism, bored of the entitled undergrads she has to cater to. But most of all, she’s bored of the men in her life—especially the bad ones. 

When her best friend, Nina, confesses to having an affair with her professor, and that he’s stolen her research, Yrsa is mad. On the quad, Yrsa bumps into the professor and witnesses his death: an unfortunate incident involving his San Pellegrino and a bee allergy. What she sees that afternoon awakens something in her: a taste for murder. 

Emboldened, Yrsa decides to chase that high, and soon, no sexist, misbehaving man within commuting distance is safe. 

With each murder, Yrsa feels a greater sense of meaning and purpose—finally, her doctoral research feels useful. But how long can killing in the name of feminist and racial solidarity justify her actions? Will her rampage ever assuage her feelings of rage and revenge? And how long until her actions—and buried family secrets—come back to haunt her?

"Montecito makes for a fascinating short stay dabble, edging Santa Barbara and just a 90-minute drive from LA. Home to just over 8000 residents, Montecito is a pint-sized California enclave, but home to a horde of A-listers and a certain royal couple."

"Despite its A-list credentials, Montecito has retained its small-town vibe with understated glamour. It is calming, woodsy and charming, where soft coastal light meets mature oaks and sweeping mountain views—with glimpses of the ocean at every turn."
