Interviews with NZ writers and poets, visiting authors from around the world and news of local events

Bookenz - Elizabeth Smither, Stephanie Johnson and Niels Meyer-Westfield

With a life long passion for books and for New Zealand authors, programme hosts Morrin Rout and Mary-Anne Stone utilize their wealth of experience to bring you Bookenz, a weekly programme featuring the latest new books and their authors, from both New Zealand and abroad.

Authors from Aotearoa discuss their best and latest work. For new authors there can be a hard road ahead, and the programme wishes to promote these talented authors. Covering an eclectic mix of books, from fiction and non-fiction to even the occasional cookbook, Bookenz is your programme to discover the next book to curl up with on a sunny, windy or rainy day.

If you have a passion for reading and wish to support our local New Zealand authors, tune in to Bookenz on 96.9 FM weekly at 12noon on Tuesdays, repeated 12noon on Saturdays.  Subscribe to never miss an episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
