The 'Dunedin sound' is a term used to describe the plethora of influential bands that emerged from the city in the eighties and nineties. The verlaines, the clean, straightjacket fits, the enemy toy love and of course the chills are all well-known examples. While RNZ's Alex Behan was in Dunedin for the Silver scrolls a few weeks ago, he took some time to take a tiki tour of Dunedin venues past and present with martin Phillipps as his guide to map out the birthplaces of the Dunedin sound.

This week a repeat of a Mixtape from earlier in the year: Songwriter Aldous Harding is home in New Zealand for the summer, preparing a full band for shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. She joins Kirsten Johnstone to play some of the songs that she's been listening to on trains around Europe, and talk about her upcoming album, Party.
