Special Howick homecoming for our NZ music great, Sat arvo, 3-4pm on East FM
New Zealand music legend John Hanlon is the in-studio guest on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) September 3 on East FM.
We’re excited to be talking with John between 3pm and 4pm, as we’ll further explore his most recent album, Naked Truths (Ode, 2021), that we featured a few months ago, with all its 23 songs.
It’s a remarkable body of work by such an accomplished composer and artist, superbly produced and arranged by Bruce Lynch and Russell Finch, who play throughout along with Rex Goh, and there are cameos by fellow musicians Dean Kerr and Lewis McCallum.
It’ll be great to have John Hanlon in the East FM studio, in Howick, where he grew up and it all started for him as a singer-songwriter and musician in the 1960s and 1970s, leading to the big-selling singles and Kiwi Music Gold Discs and career that has delivered 10 albums to date.

We’ll also take the usual tour of the musical neighbourhoods, on the She’ll Be Right Show with PJ that beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
East FM is proudly the official broadcaster for www.howick175.co.nz...
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
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?
-
76.7% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
23.3% No. This would be impossible in practice.
