Ep 14 - Tension y resistencia
Ecuador vive su paro más largo en años: tres mu***os, más de cien detenidos y denuncias de represión mientras el gobierno de Noboa enfrenta críticas por condonar su deuda familiar. En Nueva Zelanda, las elecciones locales reconfiguran el mapa político, y en América Latina, la crisis de gobernabilidad sigue marcando a diferentes países.

Episode Title: “Tension and Resistance”
Ecuador faces its longest national strike in years — three dead, over a hundred detained, and growing reports of repression as President Noboa faces backlash over his family’s forgiven tax debt. In New Zealand, local elections reshape the political landscape, while across Latin America, continue to grapple with deep governance crises.

Deep Insessionz Ni93t333
​The Ninth Decade: Are We Still Underground?
​Ninety episodes in.

Ninety deep dives. Ninety sonic expeditions.

We've birthed a legend from what was just a flicker of an idea, and somewhere along the way, we started asking a dangerous question: Have we moved the underground to the surface?

​This week, for our landmark 90th session, we don't just spin tracks; we pull back the curtain on the evolution of our own sound.

Expect a selection that's both a defiant statement on the state of the scene and a reflective nod to the raw, untamed energy that launched this whole project.

We're challenging the establishment with the very beats they didn't see coming.

If you thought you knew what "underground" meant, prepare for a re-education.

This is our legacy in the making.

​A massive, esteemed, and heartfelt thanks to the foundations that make the deep possible:
​
Free FM , NZ On Air Music , PHDM Records , and . CAMA - Community Access Media Alliance

A profound shout-out to our incredible guests, the dedicated listeners (you know who you are!), and the whole relentless crew that makes the magic happen.

Your passion is the current that powers this entire movement.

​Keep it locked as we deep dive our sound from the underground.

⚠️ Calling All Innovators! ⚠️
​Producers, artists, movers 'n' shakers, promoters: the future needs your frequency.

👉🏽 Equal Agenda Ep 7 - Not Your Object
Confronting the topic of over-sexualisation of women, from social media and po*******hy to the way sports, public figures, and daily life reinforce harmful stereotypes.

Women are not objects. Respect is not optional. Equality is not negotiable. It’s time to take responsibility and learn, because women should not have to protect themselves from violence.

Free FM is proud to be home to Paul Trenwith’s Back Porch Bluegrass NZ 🎙️radio show and 📲 podcast!

From your host: “Special Consensus are first up (after the opening track by Colleen Trenwith & myself), followed by the Bluegrass Album Band, the Kruger Brothers and the Brombies. We’ve also got the Price Sisters, Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys from the 1960’s, and Roy Acuff playing some fine ‘pre-bluegrass’. Old South Bluegrass Band from Adelaide play a tune, and Missy Werner sings for us. The Trenwiths take us out with some driving contemporary bluegrass. Lots to like here. “

The latest, and lots of back episodes are always available too!
