Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Various Artists w/ Sof and Maya: 17 July, 2026
Q: What role does the installation play in the show?
The installation is treated as a stage where artworks interact, with prompts and written text acting as separate pieces that extend the dialogue beyond the objects themselves.
Morning Glory w/ Huia: Rāmere, Friday 19th June, 2026
Q: What makes your band stand out in the Auckland scene?
They emphasize the unique combination of rock with prominent keys and a quirky visual element (the unicorn) as a defining sound that differentiates them from other alt-rock acts.
Morning Glory w/ Huia: Rāmere, Friday 19th June, 2026
Q: What inspired your latest track and how did you approach recording it?
The guest describes recording in their school music room, mic'ing up the kit and amps, doing much of it themselves, and bringing in friends for chorus vocals to create a DIY, collaborative vibe.
Morning Glory w/ Olive: Rāapa 24 Hune, 2026
Q: How should someone navigate limerence after a long-term relationship ends?
Focus on identifying what you now know you need in a partner, practice self-care, and avoid rushing into new attachments; grounding in the present helps prevent repeating past patterns.
Morning Glory w/ Olive: Rāapa 24 Hune, 2026
Q: What is the difference between love and limerence?
Limerence relies on uncertainty and emotional highs and lows, while love is driven by security, consistency, and a calmer emotional balance that supports long-term connection.
