Peter Clayworth takes us on a fascinating tour of the sites of struggle in the 1913 General Strike - industrial power struggles, machine guns and horses on the streets of Wellington. You won't see your city the same afterwards! (note - it gets a bit windy in the middle but worth listening through the wind as there are some really interesting bits in there!)

"We're writing from the point of view of people who are 'it', about things that we're actually dealing with": Check out our interview with local writers Al Gray and Erin Donahue about the problem with fairy tales (and much more!).

Feeding bellies, not bins: Jack Rainey, the Manager of the Dixon St Everybody Eats, tells B Sides all about the concept and the practise of running a pay-as-you-feel restaurant in central Wellington

Kanikani* enthusiasts Sofia, Thomas and Lauren talk to B Sides about why they spend an evening a month dancing in the dark in a room full of strangers (or is it a room full of friends? hard to tell in the dark). Some great dance tracks included! *Kanikani means dance in te reo Māori. The monthly event is called Kanikani - dancing in the dark!
