Mr Wayne Anderson returns to East FM
The Thin White Duke, Rod the Mod, Rocket Man and The Piano Man aren’t exactly music legends you’d usually associate with the Singer of Songs, but that’s who’ll be in the spotlight when Mr Wayne Anderson takes the mic for his quarterly special guest DJ appearance on East FM tomorrow Saturday.
The great southern (suburbs) man is focusing on four of rock n’ roll’s finest, David Bowie, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Elton John, and Billy Joel, on The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, on East FM, 3-7pm (NZ time).
It’ll be interesting to hear what tracks Wayne chooses from those guys’ vast repertoires, and it could just be the selections you’ll be needing to hear warming up for Sunday’s massively colourful and entertaining Howick Santa Parade.
The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on NZ app Radio Schmadio.
If we’re not playing it this Saturday we’re playing it next. Keep it real, people. - PJ
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!
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!
