  • Hollywoodland is a podcast that takes place at the intersection of Hollywood and True Crime. It's where you'll hear the stories about our most beloved actors, directors, and other icons of movie history through the lens of the crimes that have impacted them. The mysterious death of Brittany Murphy. The obsessive murder of Dorothy Stratten. Woody Harrelson's father's connection to the JFK assassination. The three conspiracies surrounding Marilyn Monroe's death. Steve McQueen's brush with Charles Manson. The indecent arrest of John Waters. Dennis Hopper's easy riding and raging '70s Hollywood. The shocking small town murder that inspired David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Heath Ledger's overdose. Robert Downey Jr. hitting rock bottom, only to stage the greatest comeback in movie history. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to New Hollywood all the way to contemporary moviemakers, Hollywoodland features tales of murder, kidnapping, organized crime, curses, disappearances, prison escapes, and hauntings. You know, the kind of stuff that makes for the best movies.

    True to its subject matter, Hollywoodland is a cinematic brand of audio storytelling. Think less of a Ken Burns documentary, and more of a fast-paced, highly transgressive Martin Scorsese film, co-hosted by movie and true crime buffs Jake Brennan and Zeth Lundy. Fully scripted, sound-designed episodes from our archive are released every Monday. These "movies for your ears" are narrated by Jake and feature Double Elvis' edge-of-your-seat audio storytelling. On Wednesdays, we drop brand new "Wrap Party" episodes, a chat-style show in which Zeth responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from listeners, while also talking more about that week's subject and themes (including guest appearances by Jake for weekly recommendations). And then on Fridays, we release new "Screening Room" episodes, in which Zeth deep dives into one film – after which, the audience is encouraged to watch that film over the weekend, and then call or text the show so that we can discuss it further in the following week's Wrap Party.

  • Join Reverend Richard Coles, Dr Cat Jarman and Charles Spencer as they chase the provenance of historical objects both real and metaphorical

  • Join Stephen Graham as he ventures through the landscapes of pre-revolutionary Russia and accompanies immigrants on their journeys across America’s East coast to the West. Published in 1926, this captivating guide not only serves as a practical manual for the art of tramping—a joyful and thoughtful way of traveling—but also delves into the philosophical desire to connect with nature, echoing the sentiments of Ralph Waldo Emerson. A prolific writer, Graham shares his deep love for the natural world while voicing his concerns about industrialization. He invites readers to embrace tramping for pleasure, offering valuable tips for safe and enjoyable travel that remain relevant today. With humor and warmth, Graham hopes his beautifully crafted words will inspire a passion for exploration on a budget, entertain with delightful anecdotes, and encourage fellow tramps to document their journeys.

  • A lethal virus. A drastic lockdown. A nation turned upside down. 

    Quarantine Nation is an eight-part narrative series that revisits the Covid-19 pandemic with the benefit of hindsight and powerful interviews. From the corridors of power to hospital wards, managed isolation hotels and kitchen tables, it traces how New Zealand responded when the Sars-CoV-2 virus started spreading.

    Through in-depth conversations with decision-makers, scientists, frontline health workers and ordinary New Zealanders, the series examines what worked, what failed, and the unintended consequences that followed. 

    Memories of sourdough starters, Netflix binges and daily press conferences may fade, but the scars of the pandemic remain, so Quarantine Nation asks what the pandemic taught us about ourselves, and how it continues to affect us.

    Plus, don’t miss the theme tune by Jack Buchanan, maker of the global viral Covid hit, Family Lockdown Boogie. Each episode features a different verse.

    Made with the support of NZ on Air for Stuff by Te Pลซrongo Productions.
