About Nights
Tune in for the week-nightly voyage of attitude, longitude and latitude...
The Nights Crew
Nights skipper Bryan Crump like maps, travelling (by train, bike and armchair) and puttering with sound (see his bio for ongoing relationship with tape recorders).
Nights navigator Robyn Rockgirl Walker is partial to scrumptious Kiwi music, tasty Asian food and her evil side takes great pleasure in confounding the nation with a seemingly unrelated selection of random statements.
Possibly the most geographically literate pairing in Radio New Zealand National history, Bryan and Robyn Rockgirl are the radio beacons to enlighten and entertain your evenings.

Nights Conundrum
The Nights' Conundrum is a week-long brainteaser - confounding you is our pleasure!
Eight rather lateral clues are offered Monday to Thursday, two a night, one before the nine o'clock news, the other before ten.
Solve the clues, put the pieces together, send us your answer along with your name, hometown and song choice (in case you get the answer right and then get picked out of a hat).
On Friday, just before nine o'clock news, one smart cookie will get their song played...

Our Own Odysseys
Tuesdays at 7:12pm
Kiwis are infamous for being found wandering in all sorts of far flung places…
Nights, being adventurous types ourselves, is keen to have you share the colourful and curious tales of your interesting journeys… the places you've seen, the people you've met, the food you tasted - recently or expeditions you've had in times gone by - a trek you took either by foot or pedal or kayak or ship or sail or train, in the 21st or 20th century…
Our Own Odysseys on Tuesday evenings at about a quarter past seven. Please do get in touch to reminisce on the wonders of the world that were encountered while you either cycled through Cambodia, kayaked down the Amazon, hiked through Wales, scrambled up Kilimanjaro, sailed to the Seychelles, flew by hot air balloon over Mongolia etc, etc nights@radionz.co.nz
