Spinning records for 24 hours on East FM

Phil from Farm Cove

At East FM, we love music and tracks recorded and pressed on vinyl records. So much so, that we're joining Vinylthon, a worldwide event on April 20-21, when radio stations around the world broadcast the playing of music on vinyl, for 24 massive record-spinning hours! Midday to midday.
The schedule of DJs is confirmed and they're all carefully organising what to play on the two turntables we'll be alternating between, just like in the olden days.
We understand we're one of only two radio stations in New Zealand participating in Vinylthon. A big thank-you to our Matt "Beagle" Everitt for his leadership on this project.

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. - PJ

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
