RNZ Feature: The Music of Billie Holiday
About once a month or so I have a long chat on RNZ about a particular musical artist or genre or a theme – for their regular Tuesday music features. For my final time at the wheel this year I chose to talk about Billie Holiday. She’s never far from my mind, that voice. And the […]Archive

RNZ Reviews: December 2021
Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. I’ve been doing it for about five years now. Most months. This was my first time in for 2021.

My New EBook: Lockdown 2 – Electric Avenue (Poems)

Sweetman Podcast: Lockdown Hiatus
For just the third term – in six years – Sweetman Podcast is having a cuppa tea, and then a lie-down. Level 4 lockdown doesn’t make the kind of podcasting I do at all possible. Plenty of podcasts in the sea, maybe far too many – and a lot of them are so good at delivering video […]Archive
