Regular Companions

Reasons to be Cheerful

Enjoy a regular dose of escapism - with positive stories, and beautifully joyful & uplifting songs.

With social media & 24 hours new channels, we are bombarded with negative news (both fake & real)

​We don't need to ignore all the bad that's happening, but let's get some balance - and do it smiling & dancing!

Ctrl-Alt-Rock

All things Alternative & Counter Culture

The GenX shows were great to do – but there’s WAY too much cool music either side of the 90s to side-line.
​
And nobody puts The Pixies, The Cult or Faith No More in a corner…

Picture

Old Skool

DJ Snow is "vintage" enough to remember when Old Skool was just ...Skool

All the best hip hop, new jack and retro summer jams, expertly mixed (and matched) by our favourite Aussie environmentalist, ice hockey lovin' DJ


Extra Special Specials

Picture

Nasty Women

Two proud, nasty women playing the best female artists, celebrating female awesomeness, and challenging everyday sexism

Picture

Joy of Blues

A love letter to the blues - and pretty solid evidence that the blues is neither depressing or a dying art form.

Great selection of the original blues pioneers, the bands they influenced, and the next-gen of talent.

​If you're a blues fan, sit back & enjoy. And if you're not, why not surprise yourself

Connected

One for all you music geeks

We start with a classic track from an iconic artist, then attempt to loop back to them in 25 songs or less.

Each artist is linked to the last - so how many links can you guess?

So far we've taken on Prince, Bowie, Lou Reed & Michael Jackson

Picture

GenX

Getting our nostalgia on with all the 90s angst, brit pop & cool indie classics you love, and maybe a few you've forgotten...

Picture

Guess the Movie

Fancy yourself a film geek? Can you guess each movie from the soundtrack, and a short clip?
​
 Some pretty obvious, and some devilishly challenging…

So chuck some popcorn in the microwave, and enjoy an eclectic mix of films & songs!

Picture

Take 2

An antidote to all the lazy, glorified Karaoke cover versions out there (John Lewis adverts, I'm looking at you...)
​
The most creative & unusual cover versions around. And bands that really made songs their own

Picture

Waiheke Island Discs

In no way related to "Desert Island Discs"... we invite our favourite people & music lovers to the studio to share their stories & favourite tracks.

Simon Smith is musical mentor to Radio Hysteric founder, Charlie Maclean. 

Na'or Alfassi Berman is a truly incredible & inspiring person, and we are honoured to call him our friend.

Earth Optimism Specials

Earth Optimism is a group and movement which chooses to focus on messages of hope & environmental solutions.

Tune in for updates on Earth Optimism Auckland events, and interviews with members of the team.

Acoustic Specials

We're fairly prone to powercuts on our little paradise island, so always good to have some unplugged lovelies up your sleeve.

An eclectic mix of genres. Some live recordings, some great covers, as well as original acoustic excellence!
