What is Aotearoa’s idea of a party, and what is its soundtrack? Why is a song about excessive drinking embraced while the national anthem sung in te reo Māori causes offence? These questions are discussed and illustrated with songs by Th’ Dudes, The Exponents, Daphne Walker and the Harmonic Resonators. Dudes frontman Peter Urlich reflects on the life of ‘Bliss’. By Nick Bollinger. Podcast made with the support of APRA NZ, celebrating a century of NZ songwriting.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
