Nathan Haines is back on the podcast, and he’s brought his fantastic new album The Soft Chaos with him. It’s been exactly ten years since Nathan’s first appearance on the show, and what a decade. He’s beaten cancer, ridden out a pandemic and leant into his new role as a dad, all while touring the world, working as a producer and releasing a string of albums and EPs. The Soft Chaos was recorded in a single day with his three-piece band, and it’s proof Nathan hasn’t lost any of his hunger or ...
Mike’s never written a song. Danny’s written many. Danny thinks it’s easy. Mike feels totally out of his depth. The two sit down to write a complete song from scratch in 30 minutes.

Because the world doesn't have enough recordings of Danny talking, our host recently swapped chairs and sat in the guest seat on K'sha Nova Media, a new YouTube show about artists building creative careers. Host Gaby asked Danny about his beginnings, how he put his career together, and a variety of other subjects, including his experience navigating dyslexia and why the music industry doesn't teach people how to be professional musicians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbbPrlR_BhU wh...
“Music isn’t what it used to be!” Every generation says this. But is this just the fading battle cry of each generation as they lose their grip on relevance, or is this actually a legitimate change in mainstream music? If it’s real, why is it happening, and can we prove it? We’re joined by drummer Glen Child to see if we can untangle this highly charged debate. whatdoweknow.co.nz https://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshow FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/ FaceBook Gro...
