Episode 2026-13 - Victory Laps, Yellow Snow & Swaggering Robots

April 24, 2026 • 59 mins
This week, Matt and Maria take a strange and splendid Friday detour through Patti Smith, Judas Priest, Propagandhi, Twisted Sister, Frank Zappa, Yes, David Bowie remixed by Nine Inch Nails, and Aotearoa’s own Head Like a Hole. There’s punk bite, metal swagger, prog grandeur with Yes’ “Roundabout” as the long song, and a firm reminder from Zappa to avoid suspicious snow. The Evil Robot Overlord approves.

Episode 2026-12 - Rain, Riffs and Trail of Fire

April 17, 2026 • 57 mins
Matt and Maria were joined this week by special guest Geoff, formerly of Fresh FM’s The Dave Harris Show, for an excellent Friday evening wander through big riffs, deep cuts, and one properly epic long song. There was music from Cave In, Failure, The Cult, Black Peaks, Blue Cheer, and Oceansize, plus Maria’s pick from the new Nine Inch Noize album, Copy of A. Geoff also brought Blue Cheer’s “Summertime Blues” to the programme, beca...

Episode 2026-11 - Maria Wasn’t Here To Stop This

April 10, 2026 • 61 mins
Maria was away, so Matt flew solo from the lounge studio and things got slightly out of hand. Expect Corrosion of Conformity, Nirvana, Claemus, and a few selections Maria may have objected to, including Electric Boys, AC/DC, Sleep Token, and Polyphia.

Episode 2026-10 - Desert Riffs and Questionable Decisions

April 3, 2026 • 59 mins
Matt and Maria head into the sonic dust storm with a playlist featuring Kyuss, Sleep, Quiet Riot, a live cut from Queensrÿche, the beautiful weirdness of Mr Bungle, and Pearl Jam bringing it home. It’s a Friday at 5 blend of heavy grooves, classic firepower, and just enough unpredictability to keep the Evil Robot Overlord fully amused and only mildly concerned.

Episode 2026-09 - Strange Current

March 20, 2026 • 59 mins
This Friday at 5, Forty six & 2 cuts a wide path through mood, muscle, and momentum. From the electronic lift of Jam & Spoon to the steel edge of Judas Priest, the strange swagger of Barbarians of California, the curveball charm of Dr Hook, a live hit of Puscifer, and a fresh blast from Muse, this episode moves between styles without losing its grip. Big riffs, left turns, atmosphere, and attitude — the kind of Friday soundtrack th...
