with Phil O'Brien and Simon Morris
Phil O'Brien, Simon Morris and Kelle Howson stretch the concept of public broadcasting to breaking point in another holiday from good taste. Matinee Idle spins the platters that matter, batter, clatter and occasionally splatter.
From the sublime to the ridiculous, from the faintly annoying to the downright infuriating, Matinee Idle hits the spots other radio shows don't reach.

'Matinee Idle is Radio New Zealand's Mufti Day. They let me and Simon "loose in the asylum". We get to be the guys testing the outer limits of listener patience and we benignly abuse this privilege.' says O'Brien. 'They let us play whatever we want! It's every radio presenter's dream.'
