Ep 10: Chris Hyde, Editor of the Hawke's Bay Today
You don’t get much more ‘baptism of fire-ish’ than just getting your head around becoming the youngest ever editor of the main newspaper in a region and then suddenly that place is hit with a massive cyclone. And you can’t tell people about it. When power and comms were wiped out for days on end during the biggest natural disaster Hawke’s Bay had seen in nearly a century, that’s what Chris and his staff faced. He talks us through that chaotic time and how they finally got the stories out.

Ep 10: Jamie MacPhail: A life in music and supporting the arts
Jamie MacPhail
If one person has revolutionised how urban and rural folk experience live music in recent years, it’s Mr MacPhail. And if you gaze at those lone, little community halls out in the far flung countryside and think “I wonder what they look like inside?” Then chances are Jamie will be able to answer your question because not only has he opened up these quirky, small, characterful buildings to the masses, he’s even put some of New Zealand’s greatest musicians and singers on their stages during his ‘Small Hall Sessions’. So of course Dan and Yvonne are gargantuan fans of his. From a past-life in record company land, to a new direction as a tour promotor, Jamie unveils the high notes, the almost-disasters and everything inbetween,

Ep 9: Oz Clarke - Actor, Wine Writer, TV Presenter and Broadcaster
Holy heck, did this actually happen?? Yvonne is still wrapping her head around the fact that one of the world’s greatest wine celebrities was. In. Her. House! Oz Clarke OBE, globally revered wine expert, author, actor, singer, cyclist, steam train fan, TV presenter and NZ Wine Hall of Fame inductee for his four decade long advocacy for kiwi wines (Marlborough sauvignon blanc in particular) popped in to Chez Lorkin after a whirlwind day of wine tasting to sit at the kitchen table and wax fizzicle with us before we all hit the Taste Hastings Wine Festival.

Ep 7: Alena Kemper: NZ's Young Winemaker of the Year
At just 22 years old Alena Kamper became the youngest ever winner of the Tonnelier Mercurey New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year competition. And she’s gorgeous, she’s super-sharp, she’s funny AND she’s darn nice person. So we hate her. Hawke’s Bay born and raised, Alena was a science nut at school who discovered that winemaking could actually be a fantastic way of channelling her talent after attending a high school careers expo. Just a few months after graduating (with top marks) in Wine Science from EIT she entered the competition and lo! Her star indeed shone bright. She’s now working at Sacred Hill Wines and we’ll be watching her career progression like the proud celebrity stalkers we are.

Ep 6: Darryl (DLT) Thomson.
Darryl (DLT) Thomson
No apologies for why this is one of our longer episodes because when you snaffle time with one of New Zealand’s most influential musical identities and one of New Zealand’s downright excellent humans, you milk it right? Born in Maraenui, Napier, DJ, music producer, composer and artist DLT, was a founding member of Upper Hutt Posse (remember “E Tu?”) and Dam Native. He kicked off the True School Hip Hop show on 95bFM, now one of the longest-running radio shows in New Zealand AND he wrote the barnstorming banger “Chains” with Che Fu, a song now listed at number 22 on the greatest New Zealand songs ever written. A couple of years ago he gave Auckland’s music scene the bums rush, moving to Hastings to care for his ill mother and to begin channelling his creativity into painting and parenting. And of course, podcast guesting… Follow him on Facebook at @darryl.thomson Instagram @thomsondarryl and read up on his musical journey at https://www.audioculture.co.nz/profile/dlt
Music groups: Upper Hutt Posse (1985 – 1993), Dam Native, Joint Force
