The Muster- Michelle Watt: Country Crossover

Severe weather events in Dunedin last year are recalled, with Michelle Watt sharing her experience of an intense hailstorm that left the city without power. The storm caused significant damage across the region, a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather patterns.

The discussion shifts to the controversial decision to remove agriculture as a standalone subject in Year 11, which has sparked considerable debate. Watt emphasizes the importance of agriculture education, particularly for students in rural areas, and argues that its removal limits opportunities for both rural and non-rural students. She highlights the practical applications of agricultural studies and the diverse career paths available in the sector today.

In entertainment news, Dunedin is set to host notable acts, including Chase and Status and Bryan Adams, marking a welcome return of live performances in the area. The excitement surrounding these events reflects a growing demand for cultural activities in the city, particularly among the student population.

With a musical act recently announced for Dunedin Michelle Watt looks at band name mis-pronunciations, and reflects on a busy old week in the farming landscape. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
