Look who's coming to DJ, East FM from 3pm, Saturday

Phil from Farm Cove

TV star, main-street celebrity and music encyclopedia, Mr Wayne Anderson – the Singer of Songs – is Ten Years Sober (album title?) and to celebrate his monumental enforced drought, he’s back as Guest DJ on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right Show, 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, August 26) on East FM.

And to make Wayne’s return to She’ll Be Right a triumph, he’s packing a punch with a line-up of featured 1950-60s’ rock n’ roll pioneers – Ray Charles, Paul Anka, Eddie Cochrane, Dion and the Belmonts, Bill Haley and the Comets, Ricky Nelson, Del Shannon, and Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Boom! Or do I mean Boomer!?

When Wayne’s guest DJing, it’s his selections, and this show will put the spotlight on those rock n’ roll heroes for a half-hour each. PJ kicks back and eats cake. Pushes a few dials.

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And tomorrow, we get into that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. What I’d Say! As I walk along I wonder… why? – PJ

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
