Today is the last Saturday Mixtape. After five years and over 200 shows on Saturday's, Sam is moving to Sunday morning's for a new chapter.

Lots on the show today! Rosetta is producing while Stella is off having an Aussie holiday, we've got Travelling Tunes with Dr Kirsten Zemke, Phoebe from Revulva phones in to chat about their new single 'Bush Bash', and Diaz Grimm comes up to the studio to chat about his new album 'Māui and the Sin'! Also - a couple of big announcements about the future of The Wine Cellar + Whammy, and our beloved host Rachel is hanging up her headphones after 5 years in the hot seat! All these feels, plus prizes and great tunes. Whakarongo mai nei! 

The book, Ans Westra: a Life in Photography by Paul Moon, was released on the 10th of May. 


Westra is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most well known social documentary photographers, best known for her candid black-and-white photography of New Zealand life and culture. 


Some of her most notable photographs included images of life in remote areas, Māori communities, and anti-apartheid protestors who clashed with riot police during the 1981 Springbok tour.


In light of Westra’s death in February 2023, Ans Westra: a Life in Photography is a richly illustrated biography of her life and her remarkable, and sometimes controversial, practice, which continues to be debated today.


Sofia had a kōrero with the author of the book, historian Paul Moon, and Suite Gallery owner and director, David Alsop, who manages the Ans Westra archive and copyright, about Ans Westra: a Life in Photography.
