The Local

Digging a little deeper since some time ago

About Me

New Zealand Music Show on Bnet Station Radio 1, 91FM, Dunedin, New Zealand. Every Thursday from 7-9pm. Specialising in new underground music from Dunedin and Aotearoa, and dusty treats from the extensive NZ archives. Watch out for the odd sneaky bootleg and specialist show profiling people and events from New Zealand's rich underground while you're at it.

Hosted by Don, Dave and sometimes Cleanie.

Remember, you can contact the Radio One on-air dj by:
-Phoning 477 1969
-Emailing dj at r1 dot co dot nz
-Text (021) 2RADIO1

Don't you know I'm local???!!?!? Don't you?
And, brand new as of July 2007 (with much thanks to Barnes), you can listen at your leisure! Just go here:
