12:45 iPlot: making compost
13:10 Farmers turns 100
13:35 Tech: the cloud breaks
13:50 Easter Island and Bolivian tourism DIY

First up this week, file-sharing, mp3 players, ripping and burning...digital technology's changed the music industry forever. The major record labels are struggling, CD sales are down, and a whole generation's been brought up on a diet of free songs. We're speaking to Steve Knopper who's written 'Appetite for Destruction: the spectacular crash of the record industry in the digital age'.

At 12.45pm we're back in the iPlot, our urban veggie patch. Traditionally Labour weekend is when lots of us get into the garden and cut back new growth and do the weeding. Well keep hold of all that green waste as you'll need it to make hummus rich compost. Colin Walker's sharing his compost recipe with us!

After the news we're looking at the 100 year history of one of the biggest retail chains in New Zealand. Farmers is celebrating its centenary this year and we're speaking to business historian Ian Hunter about its impact on the way we shop today. After all, it was the first store to offer things like money back guarantees, hire purchase and escalators in New Zealand shops.

At about 1:35pm Bill Thompson's back with technology news and this week problems in the brave new world of cloud computing. T-Mobile's a big international mobile phone seller and its latest model, the Sidekick, is a smartphone that's been selling so well it's out of stock. Anyway a few weeks back loads of users lost their contacts and other media due to a massive failure of Microsoft's servers. The good news is that most of it's back, but I'm asking Bill how badly this is going to dent consumers' faith in cloud computing?

Then before we go - at about 1:50pm we're off to Latin America for two tourism-related tales. Tiny, isolated Easter Island or Rapa Nui has been trying to introduce visitor ID cards to stop the place from getting over-run by tourists and immigrants. But now a court in Chile says the move's unconstitutional and the islanders aren't happy. Plus some Bolivian villagers did a bit of DIY to restore their local ancient monument. It was looking a bit shabby and they thought they were doing the right thing. But the United Nations says their repairs could cost the Akapana pyramid its world heritage status. Oops!
