Introducing: Song Navigator

September 1, 2026 · 2 min

Show notes

Join Nick Bollinger as he takes an elemental New Zealand theme and examines the ways different songwriters and composers have interpreted it over the past century. Part music discovery, part social history, Song Navigator crisscrosses decades and styles from pop songs to symphonies, haka to hip-hop and more.

Podcast made with the support of APRA NZ, celebrating a century of NZ songwriting.
