12:43 Crowd Funding
More and more artists are turning to crowd funding to get
their creative endeavour funded without having to go cap in hand to the usual
sources of money. Well, that’s if yours is among the projects that catch the
public’s imagination. Many projects fail to reach their target, but for those
that make it, it’s worth all the hard work that goes into launching a
successful campaign. We hear from two of New Zealand’s foremost crowd-funding
organisations, the Arts Council’s Boosted and New Zealand's first crowd-funding
platform PledgeMe).
1:10 At the Movies

An exciting new app has just launched in Nelson. It
effectively lets people lift historic photographs off the walls of the local
museum and look at them where they were originally shot out, on the streets.
It’s called the HEART project.
1:45 Anne Pender on Political Satire

further afield.

Musician Robbie Ellis and Tenor Andrew Grenon together turn
political speeches into mini-operas.
2:26 The Street Loves Nana
Auckland’s Splore Festival is witnessing the re-emergence of
one of our most interesting textile artists. When a fire damaged her home last
year, Margaret Lewis, lost not just a lot of her work and most of her enormous
collection of materials, but she very nearly lost her drive to create too. A
year later, mojo fully restored, she’s back, mashing up street art with cross-stitch
in a community art project called The Street Loves Nana. Just Gregory met her
at her storage space in Auckland.
2:38 National Conference for Creative Writing Tutors
The country’s creative writing tutors have come together for
their first national conference, as the popularity of their courses continues
to grow – and that’s before the flow-on effect of Eleanor Catton’s Man Booker
Prize win. We discuss the job prospects for the many creative writing graduates
pouring out of the ever-growing number of tertiary courses, and find out that
learning how to write storylines for the gaming industry is the new big trend.
2:50 Kora
We chat to the multi-talented Fran Kora. He’s the star of
the film The Pa Boys, but for a long time before that he’s been a musician.
He’s still in a band, Kora, with his siblings, formed and held together by the
boys’ father in the early years.
3:05 The Drama Hour
The final part of the British serial Lost in Mexico, about
