This week, Thursday host Emma Gleason was joined by Gisborne teen Salem Māhia, who won first place in the Play It Strange 2025 National Songwriting Competition with ‘A Girl Named Abigail’. He tells Emma how he got into music and what it was like being part of the Play It Strange programme (you can donate to the charitable trust's mahi here.)

Thanks for tuning in to today's show! I'm very excited to be joined in the studio by Sienna Fitzgerald, winner of the Play It Strange Junior Songwriting Competition, where she discusses her musical journey and songwriting process. We also debut her new track 'Sweetness'.
For Fancy New Band this morning Huia had Crook smash out a ripping set before they head on the road for a national tour accompanying their debut album 'Murderous Intent'.
Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason is joined in the 95bFM studio by actors Alex Tarrant and Niwa Whatuira, who star in the new local docu-drama Sgt Haane. Directed by Tearepa Kahi, the film tells the true story of L. Sgt. Haane Manahi, a soldier in the 28th Māori Battalion, covering his life, legacy and his company's critical attack on a fortified Axis post in Tunisia during World War II. Tarrant and Whatuira tell what it was like stepping into such big shoes, how they prepared, and what perspective can be gained from the powerful new film. Sgt Haane is released nationwide on April 30, with an additional 10 days of commemorative screenings from April 20-29, including Anzac Day.
For Fancy New Band today Huia was joined by Grey Lynn based rapper, Joe Foley who was showcasing his current project 'Sophisticated Sarcasm' to which the name says it all, he's able to blend well thought out lyricism, cheeky remarks and still pull a strong sense of vulnerability and honesty to his art.
Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason talks to Frankie Curac and Nikkie Rich from Niko Ne Zna ahead of their Auckland shows. The Wellington-based Balkan brass band is heading up to play at Leigh Sawmill on Friday April 10 and at the Dalmatian Cultural Society in Tāmaki Makaurau on Saturday 11 April (tickets are still available for both dates). They discuss their distinctive sound, how the band started and what to expect from their live shows. (Plus how their music ended up in What We Do In The Shadows and where to get good Balkan food in Auckland.)
