Lets introduce the team: Nani Host: Is an artist & entertainer born in Hawaii and living in New Zealand.

Eddie Host/ radio programming & research: A recent import from Cromwell in the depths of the South Island, Eddie brings a British/Jamaican flow to the show. He joins the team as a co-host and a sound selecta, surfing through songs to bring to your eardrums.
