Introducing Your Host: Recent Episodes
Amber Hammill
Being a Free FM show host is a bit like being superman – a regular person walks into a studio and an audio superhero emerges. Each week Amber Hammill introduces one of the absolutely ordinary, completely brilliant people making Free FM’s incredible range of programmes. Who makes community media? We do! And you can too. Contact us at info@freefm.org.nz and grab the mic. Karawhiua!
What do Hawaii, Hamilton, Vegas, MIT and Enderley have in common? Antz from Island Reggae Luau, that’s what! We talk football of all types, kids these days, and finally discover that the guy with the reggae show is actually a huge country music fan. Who knew? Tune into Island Reggae Luau on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
When the show you wished for as a young person doesn’t exist, the obvious solution is to make it yourself. Vulpes from Stride With Pride talks about getting content inspiration from their friends, trying to hand in the show for an assignment, being a Whovian and sharing an office with your mum. Tune into Stride With Pride on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
Wrestling, cyber security and watching Game of Thrones with your mum. We really cover it all in this conversation with Grady from Wrestling Round-Up. He started the show as a uni student with a guy from America whom he met on the internet, and nine years later, they’re up to their 500th show. That’s the unlikely true story of Grady, Josh and New Zealand’s only wrestling podcast. Tune into Wrestling Round-Up on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
What even is work life balance when your work is based on your life? And what would that look like if you worked decorating cakes? So many questions, very few answers but quite a few laughs as we meet the effervescent Vanessa from Fighting Stigma. Tune into Fighting Stigma on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
Your all singing, all dancing Kia Ora Brazil host Maya Hasegawa is a woman of many talents, and radio host is just one of them. Our conversation today covers Christmas parties, Canadian immigration policies, and being on stage with your kids (but not your husband!). Tune into Kia Ora Brazil on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
You might know Albert from his long running show God’s Message, but did you know Albert once went to work in a white coat? Or that a teenage Albert once made a six-week long trip from Bolivia to New Zealand without his parents? Tune into God’s Message on Free FM 89.0 or via your favourite podcasting platform.
