2:10 Book Critic : Pip Adam

COMFORT BOOKS

It's been a rough week and Pip has been thinking about what, if any comfort could be found in books.  Her list will be different for everyone, but she has some titles which have given her the most comfort and helped take the her mind off worrying.  One can use television to switch off, but Pip uses books to give her brain exercise which might lead it to different perspectives and maybe leave it a little more hopeful.  

2:20 Great New Zealand Album - The Dunedin Sound; Some Disenchanted Evening

Instead of one great New Zealand album today, we are looking at a bunch of them;  More than 150 from around 30 bands which collectively represent a particular genre and specific geographical location.  That, admittedly loose, description could refer to the Nashville sound, The Mersey Sound or even the sound of Philadelphia - all recognised music sub-genres.  But it's all Kiwi music we are playing today, and we'll be talking with Dr Ian Chapman, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music at the University of Otago, about a book he's written on the subject.  It's title :  "The Dunedin Sound - Some Disenchanted Evening."

3:10  Lynn Povich: The Good Girls Revolt

On the same day Newsweek magazine featured a story about the women's liberation movement in 1970, a group of 45 women at the magazine filed a sex discrimination lawsuit.

They successfully argued that for decades, women in the newsroom where denied promotions and paid less just because of their gender. 

Journalist Lynn Povich was one of the women who filed the suit. She tells the story in her new book, The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek sued their bosses and Changed the Workplace.

Her book has also been made into a miniseries for Amazon.

3:30 Science and environment stories
