🌺 Island Reggae Luau 🌺 – from The Free FM Music Zone: showcasing how great can be!

Aloha, my name is ANTz and I want you to join me for an hour of some Hawaiian flavoured reggae on my show 'Island Reggae Luau'. I come from the islands of Hawaii in a small town on the North Shore of Oahu called Laie. Back in the islands we have a different style of reggae that some call island reggae, Jawaiian, and other things. This style of music combines some reggae, Hawaiian, maybe some Country. Overall there is a island feel that comes out.

Island Reggae Luau – Thursdays at 11pm
📻 89.0 FM Waikato-wide
💻 Livestream: freefm.org.nz
👉🏽 ask your smart speaker to play ‘Free FM eighty-nine point zero’

Equal Agenda Series 4 Ep 7 – Queering the Norm

🎧 Listen: https://accessmedia.nz/player?EID=6db201e7-125f-4ed9-971f-9c8eef2fdd62&audioOnlyMode=true

Immy and Romain explore the deep connections between feminism and LGBTQ+ movements, asking what it really means to “queer the norm.” From the legacy of the Stonewall riots to the ongoing push for visibility, they examine how queerness has been both embraced and sidelined within feminist spaces. The conversation unpacks intersectionality and the layered struggles
faced by LGBTQ+ women, including homophobia and transphobia, while also questioning how gender is constructed and how those constructions can both strengthen and limit feminist movements.

Brought to you by YWCA Waikato
Equal Agenda is broadcast on Free FM midday Wednesdays, repeated 3pm Fridays and 11am Sundays.
