1:34 Vogel Street Revitalisation
We find out how Dunedin’s historic Vogel Street has been
brought back to life. This once-thriving hub of commerce fell out of favour for
a long time, but now it’s been revitalised and its grand old buildings will be
used as canvases by street artists for the Vogel Street Party, which is part of
the Otago Arts Festival. Vogel Street Building owner Laurie Forbes and Glen
Hazelton from the Dunedin city council describe what’s happening.
1:47 Best album covers
We chat to three finalists for this year’s best album cover
designs, to find out if musicians insist on having a say and if the music has
to relate to the cover. This year’s finalists couldn’t be more different – Liam
Finn’s The nihilist, designed by Anns Taylor and Ken Clark, Grayson Gilmore’s
Infinite life, cover by Henrietta Harris and Ladi6’s Automatic, with a cover by
Robert Wallace.

in the McKenzie Country but this time she’s ventured into the ocean. The novel
is published by Penguin.

Twenty years ago the Bellamy family of Macandrew Bay in
Dunedin set up an art gallery, and they are celebrating its 20th anniversary
with a retrospective exhibition called Swell for the Otago Arts Festival. Mum
Pauline and son Max are our guests, looking back on 20 happy and successful
years for Bellamy’s Gallery.
2:49 B-girls on the Rise
Lauren Dunningham aka B-girl Legend and Jody Stewart aka
B-girl Nossy know a thing or two about battling it out on the dance
floor. Their dance style of choice is ‘breaking’ or breakdancing and although
B-boy culture here is still fairly small, it’s definitely on the rise.
Originating through U.S hip-hop culture B-boying has been around since the
1970’s, and in New Zealand women are still fairly new to the scene, but B-girl
Legend says, “we’re equally as fierce.”
3:05 The Drama Hour
This week on the Drama Hour we continue to get to know The
Cabin Fever Club, a group of gold-card-holding, literary types who meet every
week at the Sour Dough Café – It’s Part Three of Book Ends the new comedy
series from Roger Hall. We hear Helena, Puck and Ophelia with Bardfest: The
Shakespeare Monologue Project. And we also have a wonderful piece from our “Go
Solo” archive, it’s Paul Harrop’s He Calls A Spade A Spade.
