Backbencher

The past few evenings I have been listening to the Afternoons with Jim Mora show on Radio New Zealand while doing homework. It has been very interesting to listen to this station. It is quite similar to radio stations in the United States since they also discuss the goings on in the country, such as weather, sports and events happening around Australia. A few of the things that they talked about were the possibility of a collection of underground tunnels being used to replace Auckland,s Harbour Bridge, the death of a child who had been playing around a metal stake in the ground that came into contact with a buried power cable, and an overviews of recent rugby matches. It was interesting to listen to their news events because I have no idea where most of the locations are that they talked about.

In addition to news related events, Radio New Zealand also played a variety of music. Jim Mora had a group called The Calico Brothers performing. They were very good and I really enjoyed listening to them. They sang quite a few different songs, some of which they have not released yet. After listening, I may have to find their CD.
