Mr Wayne Anderson - Singer of Songs - guest DJ on East FM

Phil from East Tamaki Heights

He's known as the Singer of Songs, and this Saturday, Mr Wayne Anderson returns to Howick airwaves to entertain us with his amazing knowledge of the famous singers.
He'll be on my show, She'll Be Right on Saturdays with PJ Taylor, from 3-7pm (NZ summer time), on Saturday, October 13, on East FM (88.1FM and 107.1FM locally in East Auckland), and on eastfm.nz (anywhere on the planet).
Many of you will know that Wayne was the subject of a couple of NZ reality TV shows a few years ago and is a true-blue Auckland and Kiwi character, with a knowledge of singers and musicians that is truly astounding. He probably knows more about them than they know/knew.
For this Saturday's show, he's chosen four singers to focus on: Elvis Presley - The King, Roy Orbison - the Big O, Glen Campbell - the Wichita Lineman, and Neil Diamond - the Solitary Man.
The photo of him and me is from his last visit to the big show earlier this year, and the following link is to a news feature I produced for the Papakura Courier/Stuff in March about his record collection that numbers 13,000, and is no doubt still rising.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
