Empathy for My Future Self (Live at Isdale Studios)

The story of this Bushman's youngest son starts in 1960s' small town New Zealand where life didn't come without its challenges. This true story begins with a lot of rugby, beer, pig hunting and the socialising that was all part of our basic Kiwi lifestyle. However there was me, Terry, different from the rest of my siblings, separated by design and confusing to my parents... This book takes you through a journey out of Tokoroa and into the world where I tried most things, tasted as much forbidden fruit as I could and did my best to experience all life had to offer at the time, but maybe all that glitters isn't always gold. My extended family's backstory paints a picture of love, heartache, rebellion and loss that many of us would not recover from. Did I conform, did I behave, did I make amends and forgive? Prepare to be challenged, pushed and pulled in all directions as this story seldom has a quiet moment. Desperate times call for desperate measures and sometimes in our lives we react in a way that we later regret, or at least try to. Fatherhood, coming out as gay, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll all rolled into one story. Not just drama - more like adventure with the everlasting search for a resolution. Ngaru Nui Ngaru Roa Ngaru paewhenua

The Bushman's Son Written and Read By Terry Fergusson - Hughes

had some of these lyrics floating around in my mind for years now 
time to put them out there.

SWERVE I cant sleep

Nell — a life Nell is born to a new century, her life forged in the expanses of the New Zealand High Country. She yearns to go beyond the confines of family expectation and vows to keep alive the flame of her inner freedom. Yet that freedom is tested: by her husband’s pride and the rigours of family life on a Maniototo sheep station. Her trust is betrayed. Another love must be reckoned with. Tragedy befalls her. Two wars, a pandemic and the Depression keep Nell tethered by duty. Is it even possible for a woman of Nell’s era to carve her own path? Nell dares to step beyond the bounds; she revels and stumbles in love; encounters the perils of a woman’s life and of motherhood; she embraces the consolation of friendship and seeks a worldview that can hold it all. Readers will resonate with the quintessentially New Zealand character of Nell – her failings and her integrity, her compassion and strength.

Nell - Written and Read by Penelope Todd

if i were a drag queen id be named sissy puss 
the way i move my boulders got gneiss bitches showin bush
atlas had the sky on his shoulders he was sixty foot
if i were him i woulda dropped it over and smoked some cush

got a galaxy on my dick like a donut, slammin stars
my dick go hard when im spitting bars
if sam altmans in my ends my man's gonna get parred
dont trust openai with my life im feeling so alarmed


off the dome, from the heart
think you the shit but you the fart
on my way home, shoulda known from the start,
she saw my soul and said we're better apart
thorn in a rose, feel distraught
i domt like the new flavour in my cart
grew too close, i never show my art
i saw her choke, she saw me gasp
i broke the rope, it was from kmart
i dont mean to mope i just dont see hope
u think pinnochio got his face rode?

Following on from the successful He Iti te Kupu: Māori Metaphors and Similes, Hona Black’s new book explores the rich vein of humour in Māori life. Want to know how to call a silly person a ‘roro hipi / sheep’s brain’, or tell someone to get stuffed in te reo Māori? The answers are all in Te Reo Kapekape (literally, ‘the language of poking fun’), with more than 130 humorous and unique phrases in te reo and English that can be used to describe people, events and actions. The sayings are divided into four chapters — above the hip, below the hip, other phrases, and idioms. Using a cast of characters and dramatised dialogue, Hona explains each phrase and gives examples and suggestions for use — whether to tease, crack a joke or just add some flair to your daily use. This book is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to spice up their te reo or English with some fun and cheeky sayings, and will appeal to both language learners and fluent speakers of Māori.

Off the Beaten Track Writen and Read by Dave Shaw

Looking out across the rooftops of Hamilton City to the distant Kaimai Ranges and Maungatautari Mountain on New Year’s Day 2017, Campbell Forlong had no idea that instead of just ticking off these two running challenges from his bucket list, something bigger was about to happen in his 52nd year. After he’d completed three random marathon runs on consecutive weekends, his brother Paul phoned. “I see you’ve run three marathons in three weeks – you planning to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks?” he asked, half joking. It was all the invitation Campbell needed. What followed was an utterly life-changing adventure – running in the heat of the equator in the Republic of Congo, following wolf tracks in the snow in the Canadian Rockies, exploring the banks of the Seine to see the sun rise on the Eiffel Tower, returning home to discover unequalled beauty and peace on the backstreets of his hometown at midnight, and on many of New Zealand’s mountain trails. Along the way, during that year an equally important pursuit took place as Campbell began a journey into the meaning of love. How to love and be loved became even more important than distances and destinations – it was the birth of a soul-runner. Fifty-Two invites you to join that journey – 52 marathons in 52 weeks in Campbell’s 52nd year – and take a peek into this determined and passionate soul, inspiring you to reach for your own life goals and ambitions.
​

Fifty - Two - Written and Read by Campbell Forlong


​What does a wealthy Auckland stay-at-home mother and wife do all day? What really goes on when the cat's away? On the surface Sam has everything any woman should want: successful husband, nice house, holiday home, two lovely kids, and a desirable, expensive car. Yet Sam is frustrated and unfulfilled. When her usual distractions fail her she retraces the steps of how her life turned out like it has. At breakfast Sam takes up’s her daily dose of magic mushrooms. This transforms a normal day into an enjoyable, surreal, roll around Auckland. Till she is cruelly dragged back to reality by a worrying call from her daughter’s school. Prepare to laugh out loud, gasp, cringe, be aroused, and entertained, as the real Sam is revealed.


WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY? Written by WJ MOLONY Read by Jocelyn Christian

"Listening to high energy music inspires depth and stability. It’s more to do with feeling and creative expression rather than rational thought. We relax whilst refreshing our body and mind encouraging us to seek clarity and espouse self-knowledge and self-actualisation. " - CYAN
